Stress free zone?!

You have got to be kidding right? What we keep saying to ourselves up at the reference desk(it's not brain surgery.) This new catalogue has everyone in a turmoil but I do believe that we are holding our own and not freaking out complete (at Brick anyway).
I can't say that we have done anything in our break room. Sometimes we play cards, or watch TV so that helps take our mind off of stressful images. We don't have room to put up a puzzles. Would like to have the music idea but haven't done that either.
The BUBBLE wrap did nothing for me-not really into that..
We do have a plant in the staff room. I am a plant lover and would like to have more but again no room in the INN.

LOVED the article from the Annoyed librarian. Summed up much of the day to day thoughts that I feel many staff have no matter what level they are.

A little of topic but I wanted to share the Top 6 fitness Myths and the Truths (I found this interesting
)
1. Tou can take weight off on specific body parts by doing exercises that target those areas.
Truth..called spot training tones specific areas but doesn't burn fat. You can not pick the areas that you will lose the weight.

2. Women who life weights will bulk up
Truth One must produce the right hormones in order to bulk up. Women tend to lose inches when they strenght train plus gaining strength, decrease the risk of osteoporosis we might slim down also.

3. IF you can't exercise hard and often, there's really no point.
Truth: Even moderate activity helps. Everyone can find at lease 10 mins to spare during the day. So keep moving-take the stairs, walk around the parking lot.

4. Performing abdominal exercises will give you a flat stomach
Truth: The facts is the only way to get a flat stomach is get rid of the fat around the midsection. You can do this by cardo exercise, strength training and a proper diet.

5. You will burn more fat if you exercise longer at lower intensity.
Truth: The most important factor in exercise in the TOTAL calories burned during the activity. The faster you walk, bike etc the more calories you will be burning and in turn will loose more weight. (This one is a little confusing) Faster is better than longer but keep moving.

6. No pain, no gain
Truth: WRONG exercise should not be paonful. You should be sweating and breathing hard but should be able to carry on a conversation. Pain is your body talking to you, telling you to stop-something is wrong.
My trainer told me these ideas when I first started at WOW. Good to keep in mind.
