Fat in Egg Nog
Thought I'd present a Thanksgiving-themed dietary question--about Egg nog! I almost never drink the stuff, but I LOVED it when I was younger. (non-alcoholic, of course). My parents always cut it with milk though to lower the calories. Anyway, about 2 weeks ago I broke down and bought a quart of it and only drink about a…

Can Shoes cause Neck pain?
I woke up this morning with some pretty bad neck pain. Actually it's right at the base of my neck near my traps, and it hurts to put my head down and to the sides. My schedule's been weird this week so I've actually skipped 2 workouts in the last couple days, so I don't think I pulled anything. However yesterday I was…
