My nameless concoction (any suggestions?): one part citrus flavored vodka of your choice (I used to use Absolut Citron, but that's a bit too high end for the liquor store I found up here) two parts Sunny Delight two parts Mountain Dew This is actually too heavy on Dew and too light on Sunny D, but my lowered tolerance says it's the right amount of vodka. Used to drink this (heavily) back in college, coincidentally in the year I had my academic drop and was booted from the Army ROTC...

If you're too overweight (read: fat) to comforatbly walk around Wal-Mart while shopping (read: lazy enough to ride on one of those self-propelled motor chairs), you probably shouldn't eat at the in-store McDonald's for lunch. Also, did you know that out of a children's happy meal, the part with the most calories is the french fries (230, compared to 170 for either 4 chicken MC nuggets or the chocolate "milk")? Whereas the "apple dippers" are low calorie (comparitively) and are also "a go...

10*wt(kg) + 6.25*Ht(cm) - 5*Age(yrs) + 5 = resting energy expenditure (male) 10*wt(kg) + 6.25*Ht(cm) - 5*Age(yrs) -161 = resting energy expenditure (female) This is how many calories you burn by doing *nothing*. Multiply that amount by an "activity factor" based on how active you are during the day: 1.3=sedentary 1.4=walking/standing, no exercise 1.5=exercise 1.6=walking&exercise 1.8=heavy lifting&exercise That gives you how many calories you need to take in to maintain your ...

That's the name of a store here in the bustling metropolis of San Angelo, TX. And it's run by some of the hippiest hippies I've seen in awhile. I don't really mean that in a derogatory way, not really. They remind me of some of my friends from high school, actually. The owner is normal enough, although very enthuasiastic about having a new customer. His wife (?) was at the register and his two kids were messing around in the back. The two guys who put my sandwich together were prett...

I've been keeping track of my diet for two days now, although I've been trying to be extra good since I got back on Friday. The Air Force diet tech gave me an outline of what I "should" eat: I'm heavy enough right now to have 2200 calories per day and still lose about 2lb/week (especially with my increased PT which kicks off this week). A big mistake I've already made is that I did not have enough calories during the day yesterday. It wasn't just the depression that drove me to the Stove...

I had a "courtesy" weigh in today at my unit, so early that my boys had to go in with me. Oddly, they were more awake then than they normally are when I take them to daycare about two hours later. I've gained 6 pounds since I got here, and I know it's not all muscle. My body fat composition has gone to seed, too. I'm over the standard. It's my own fault. I need more cardio and less food. It may seem like a strange decision, but I had actually increased my caloric intake when I got ...

No exact counts today. I've decided that I'll try to be generally good on the weekends, but not too good. However, in the interest of disclosure: Vitamin water when I woke up. 3 eggs + salsa for breakfast. Protein bar for morning snack. Lunch was the last of the shrimp, tomatoes and feta. This stuff doesn't hold up this long, all the fluids from the STF came out into the bottom of the bowl. The shrimp and feta were okay, but the tomatoes were ... kinda stewed sitting in this sludg...

No PT this morning, I had other commitments. I've done a (very) little exercise over the course of the day, but I've been very tired lately.
