Good Website explaining various weight exercises.
Check this link out!
http://www.getfit.com.au/html/excercises/
It has nice diagrams for each exercise. We can all get some ideas from here for toning. No weights at home? How about cans of soup? Those are weights!
I use this website to find the name of the exercises I performed. I'll start visiting to get ideas about exercises I can do too.

Whole Grain pasta
Howdy!
As you may or may not know, it's best to eat whole wheat/whole grain pasta rather than regular pasta. This thread has some recommendations on various brands. I like Vita Bella!
