Your Two Cents: Do You Ever Get Jealous of Friends' Careers?
Remember the Annie Get Your Gun tune: "Anything you can do I can do better; I can do anything better than you." While competition can stay friendly when we're young, it can become more fierce as we age. Education, opportunity, life circumstances and plain chance change all our lives and some friends find flourishing careers while others flounder, or just get by.

What's the Worst Criticism You've Received as a Parent?
In the age of helicopter parenting, everyone seems to think their method tops the rest when it comes to raising children. From a family gathering, to the playground, to the airplane, new parents (and even those toting around three and four children) find themselves the subject of judgment and criticism from discerning onlookers. Critical stares can quickly turn into opposing opinions and even the warm fuzzies from the holidays can't keep the zingers at bay.
Pass Gym Time With Healthy Competition
Watching TV, listening to music, and perusing magazines are all great ways to pass the time when you're on a cardio machine, but even those can get boring. They also require a bit of attention, compromising a good workout — you can't turn pages while doing sprint intervals. When you need a little motivation, utilize your fellow gym-goers and compete with a stranger.

Fit Tip: Compete With a Stranger at the Gym
When I step onto a treadmill at the gym, some days I'm not feeling very motivated to push myself. I'm sure this happens to you too, so here's a suggestion from FitSugar reader smaine07. She likes to go to the gym when it's crowded so she can "compete with the person beside me."
Yoga Competitions: Cool or Not?
Many people who try yoga give a Bikram yoga class a try. They're drawn to the fact that it's insanely hot and sweaty, and the poses are really challenging. The founder, Bikram Choudhury, has taken this practice to a whole other level.
Top Chef Recap 5.10: Super Bowl Chef Showdown
The outcome of last night's Top Chef surprised me: I was certain another cheftestant was going to go home. Did you catch the competition? Quaker Oats was the obvious sponsor of the quick fire challenge and the chef, Scott Conant, of New York City's Scarpetta acted as guest judge.
