  A recent report by the Southern California Medical Association pointed
out that proper weight control and fitness cannot be attained by dieting
alone.(No, dieting with someone else is not what they meant!)  Many people
who are engaged in sedentary occupations do not realize that calories can 
be burned by the hundreds, by engaging in strenuous exercises that do NOT
require physical exercise.  The following is a list of calorie burning
activities and the number of calories per hour that they consume:

	Beating around the Bush.............75
	Jumping to Conclusions.............100
	Climbing the Walls.................150
	Passing the Buck....................25
	Throwing your Weight Around........300
	Dragging your Heels................100
	Pushing your Luck..................250
	Making Mountains out of Molehills..500
	Wading through Papers..............300
	Bending over Backwards..............75
	Balancing the Books.................23
	Running around in Circles..........350
	Eating Crow.........................25
	Tooting your own Horn...............25
	Hitting the Nail on the Head........50
