how sore is too sore?
So Monday I started Stronglifts, since I lucked into a free gym membership thru my work. Followed the beginners instructions, since its been several months since I last lifted anything, least of all a honest to god really real weight. And now I am sore, still sore, like I have to ponder if stepping up onto a curb is worth…

Dreamfields "low carb" pasta. Verification
Anyone have any scientific evidence for this stuff? For those who are unaware, this pasta claims through a "patent pending process" that most of the carbs in the pasta are "locked away" where your body cannot process them.

Case of the BLAHS!
These last two weeks have been a downer, exercise wise. I don't know if I'm slipping, or its just the cold mornings and having to get this big engine started, or what. But I'm finding it really hard to get anything going in the mornings. I'll manage a short walk in the parking lot behind my work or I'll work out at night,…

I want to kill and maybe eat a coworker...
...or at least kill him and take his lunch, you know, whichever. My coworker just brought in McD's chicken nuggets and despite my rather large lunch, the smell is driving me nuts. I've had to catch myself from bashing in his head from behind and gorging myself of chicken-like nugget shaped sauce reciptecles several times…
