Calorie Frustration

I have probably thought about this before today, but for some reason it clicked. It is so frustration to know that I spent 45 minutes this morning burning 750 calories in the gym, only to give them right back in a hurry.

Once I got home and sat down for lunch I had replaced the 750 calories in less than 10 minutes. To make it worse I don't even feel like I had enough to eat, but if I am going to stay on my "diet" and lose the weight the Dr.s are all telling me to.

I know experts will tell me that losing weight is burning calories over an extended period of time. Don't look at it one workout or one meal at a time.....but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Camping Comfort

In some of my recent research into camping and its popularity I ran across a new look of hammocks specifically made for camping.

I have always thought of the traditional rope hammock that hangs between two palm trees when I think of hammocks, but these camping hammocks they have to offer now are cool. They are easily transportable and easy to set up almost anywhere.

I especially like the idea of finding camping hammocks that have the bug protection built right in. It's a lot easier to sleep when you aren't swatting yourself in the face.

I share more on my findings on camping hammocks on our website http://www.recreationease.com
