19:06:15 +0000 Pamela Jones http://girlyfitness.com/?p=215 Yep, even girly-girls like me lift weights.  Unfortunately, many women are simply afraid to workout with weights.   I presume they think they

http://girlyfitness.com/?p=137  You may wonder, “what exactly is high fructose corn syrup?” and why am I bothering to write about it.   Well, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)  is in a pleathora of processed foods in the United States.  You will find it in crackers, breads,  beverages,  yogurt,  cookies,  dressings, soups, and my personal favorite condiment: ketchup.   In fact, most sugary
