You see, I’m a 3rd degree black belt in karate, and I do other forms of martial arts (i.e. Taekwando, Jujitsu, Kung Fu, etc). And nothing scares the hell out of me… That is except for dead roses. I freak out when I see dead roses. There’s just something uncanny and creepy about them. There is nothing I hate more than dead roses. Is there any logical explanation to my phobia?

i am having a bit of cholestrol problem , and was wondering if youga can help.
Like 5 minute meditations, and the like. Feeling a bit disconnected lately and need to find a little encouragement from within…
Christians–please don’t tell me to pray more, I am just not the praying type. I talk to my God all the time. Just needing something a little more focused.
I’m a wicca with a 2 yr old and have a hard time doing anything without interruption… so I’m a little rattled, and trying to find ways of weaving my spiritual life into my daily life w/o casting circles and rituals…

Arright so, I’m 14 years old, and I weigh 105-107 lbs. Yes I KNOW that is a healthy weight for someone my age. The thing is, I have extra baggage, as in I’m not fat but I’m not skinny either. There’s a small bit of fat hanging off my tummy and my legs are too wide for my liking (thighs- 19″ calves-13″ around the widest parts) I’m looking to burn off the extra fat.
I already eat healthy besides the occasional McDonald’s stops (maybe once every couple of weeks, but I’m going to cut that). I go to Kung Fu twice a week. But there is no progress– I think I need to take another step.
I’m starting to diet, and I’m going to eat 1200-1600 calories per day while covering most of the nutrition requirements (which is actually the way I usually eat). I’m going to start doing a 20 minute jog daily. But is that going to work? What else should I do to burn off extra fat at my stomach and legs especially?
Thanks in advance. 
Also is there anyway to increase metabolism?
I have been involved in fitness for the last 4 years. Recently I find that my gym program has gotten pretty stale and I’m looking to liven it up a bit. I’m looking for a group fitness activity that will improve my cardiovascular conditioning, help me trim fat and teach me self defense, without the formality of karate or judo (where you have to have a uniform and all that)…something fun…any ideas out there?
