I find dubstep really great for a more scientific reason - you tend to settle into moving at the rhythm of what you are listening to (which can be annoying when you have good music, but at a tempo that throws you off your pace).

I don't use dried ground ginger, that doesn't taste very fresh. Obviously fresh root is best, but i'm far too lazy for that. I buy preserved fresh ginger in a jar, already cut into little strips

Every time I consider upping my calorie intake, a little voice in my head reminds me that every 3500 calories I eat is a pound that I haven't lost. I know it's nowhere near that simple, but psychology is a ***** :) I guess I should have a word with my inner demon and tell him that even if I accepted his reasoning, an extra…
