  • A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. The 250 calories from a slice of pizza provide just as much energy as 250 calories from chicken/quinoa/spinach. The only difference is the *nutrition* value of the two foods (and the volume, since 250 calories from pizza isn't likely to be a filling meal). Remember, a calorie is a…

  • Depends on what I'm doing... I try to match up my playlists with my pace. Elliptical/Stair-climber workouts are mostly 80's rock. Lot's of Poison (Fallen Angel, Look What the Cat Dragged In, Cry Tough), some Queen (Don't Stop Me Now... good sprint song, lyrics and all), and, I'm not afraid to admit, Wham finds its way in…

Still friends with a whole slew of fellow band nerds 16 years after graduating from high school... and we all…

  • I'm in the Navy... coffee is just one of those things we refuse to go without. As a wise man once told me: "The ships and submarines may run on oil and nuclear power, but the Navy runs on coffee." My consumption has dropped on shore duty, but when I was on my last boat I had a 16oz coffee mug that I would fill and empty…

  • Working out at the base gym has its advantages... definitely fewer 'creeper' types. Biggest problem we have are the military wives that treat the gym as "social hour". Hair made up, make-up, perfume, and cranking that treadmill up to 2.0 mph for 10 mins or so... gossiping about nonsense the whole time. Or the ones that…
