[quote=briansd1]So you guys have big brother watching at work where certain sites are blocked?

BTW, I thought that pajama jeans might be a good Christmas gift recommendation that flu asked for.[/quote]

We do have some net-nannies at my work… this didn’t trip that…
But the link that starts with:
men/2011/12/20/gIQAEGc76O_blog.html
got retranslated by the browser to
http://www.men.com/2011/12/20/gIQAEGc76O_blog.html

DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK unless you want graphic pictures of men on men sex acts.

Just saying.

Not that there’s anything wrong with it, as Seinfeld would say. I just think my boss would frown on this stuff on my screen.

Yeah, it would’ve been nice to have had that info earlier. Wow. Not cool. Brian surfs gay porn at work? Big surprise. Huge.

Is that bad?

This shows the analytical skills of some people…. That orphaned string was part of the WaPo link.

I love the innuendo. I put it in the same category as the frequent Barack Hussein dig. It reflects the demons that occupy the writer’s brain.

Back on topic:
My kids,8,7&5 are watching, very intently watching, “Dr. Furman’s Secrets to Healthy Cooking”…Yeah, I am totally laughing out loud. It will be a Christmas tradition!

Thanks for the warning.. I don’t have any mind-bleach near me right now.

I have a twin who has always been chubby. He wasn’t very good as sports, and tends to gorge. The question really is how recent a phenomenon is obesity, and how culturally relevant is it? Are we evolving genetically towards an over-weight predisposition, or is there a more basic shift in life style? Everything seems to point to the latter. Exercise has become something you ‘should’ do, as opposed to being part of what one ordinarily does. Food is plentiful, cheap and full of fat and sugar. The food industry is very much to blame, as is government for not combatting the practices. Apparently, we are genetically geared to store fat for lean times when food is plentiful, and that gene has not been turned off from our hunter-gatherer days. Maybe, but obesity is more prevalent where the fast food industry is present. One day fries will carry a government health warning.

An excellent article about the difficulty of keeping off weight (and the relative ease of losing it).

That was an excellent article. Thank you for sharing it, zk.

It’s obvious to me, just from observing family members and their habits, that weight control is about much more than diet and exercise. I really hope they get a better understanding of what causes one person’s body to burn calories while another person’s body stores them.

I think the tendencey to store energy is associated with the body’s tendency to feel as though it is starving/low on energy (which is what causes it to store calories in the first place, IMO). This is probably what causes overweight people to crave more carbs than someone who is naturally skinny.

I weigh more today than in my entire life. 167. Up about 12 pounds in the last 3 months. I think about half or so is muscle. I’ve been eating so much protein in a fervid attempt to build muscle. My shirts are getting tight around the chest and for the first time in my life my ass is visible in my pants.

We should all be gaining weight. In lean muscle.

You’ve just made me spit out my tea. Great picture you’ve painted there, scaredy. 🙂

Well when people say have you been working out, their impulse it ho feel a bicep… But the emphasis in weightlifting should be on ghe posterior chain… The hamstrings the spinus erectus of the lower back and most important, the ass.

When someone tells you they’ve been working out, you should really be grabbing a butt cheek to check progress.

Here’s to powerful buttocks in 2012!!!

Agree with all of this, scaredy, and know you will `stay the course’ in 2012!

Because the biceps area it the only area that looks OK still despite the rest of the body. Plus people conflate and confuse big w/ muscular.

Powerful buttocks that can support our backs into old age.
