Aparently I was wrong!
At the Starbucks at my hotel they had this pathetically anemic display of muffins… Those aren’t muffins. Where I come from a muffin has a top that is at least twice the size of the muffin bottom (minimum). How in the world do you get fat with muffins like this…

I saw this frightening slideshow by Men’s Health magazine of what’s really in some of the common foods we eat. I have no doubt that there are far more pesticides, preservatives and by-products in our food than is good for us, but it’s still pretty horrifying to discover the amount of crap that’s in our food (and [...]
Despite my excitement of last week, I decided this morning not to do my usual measurements this week. T.O.M. is back in town and he is punishing me for some past transgression that I obviously made against him. Out of pure meanness, he is causing me to swell and I do not want that marring [...]
I was trying to avoid Girl Scout cookies. When asked about purchasing some I went to the Girl Scout website to see if they contained High Fructose Corn Syrup and / or Partially Hydrogenated Oils. Well, according to the website, yes. So I said no. I have two boxes of Thin Mints in my freezer [...]
So I started a new workout routine Friday. In particular, a new chest routine. I started with dumbbell chest flies and immediately followed each set up with dumbbell bench presses. Essentially, I did a super-set. I’m feeling insanely sore today, which is nice.
This afternoon I did 30 minutes on [...]

Washington D.C.—A JOINT STUDY BY THE FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) revealed today that regular ingestion of “natural and organic foods” leads to a significantly higher risk of “death by natural causes”. “It’s ironic that millions of Americans chronically eat natural foods [...]
This is what I had for breakfast and lunch (yes, I made too much):
It’s a cereal made from almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pecans soaked over night. Then dried a bit, chopped up in my food processor to more cereal sized pieces and then topped with raisins, coconut, oatmeal and bananas.
I also made a fresh batch of almond [...]
Overheard at the Ponderosa buffet line tonight:
Extremely overweight woman to small child: Do you want pudding?
Pudgy child: I want an apple.
Woman: No, do you want chocolate pudding or vanilla pudding?
Child: I want an apple.
Woman: Here’s some chocolate pudding.
She took him back to the table where she sat down with another woman, also extremely overweight, who [...]
