No. We can agree they are equally awesome, and mood dependent.

As for what I learned today? I actually *enjoy* punching a time clock! Go figure.

I learned that pistachios are better than I remember and that a new pair of running shoes make a ton of difference. Love my Nike Shox! ....all three pairs.

I learned I am at my largest weight ever today.



If you look at an official body mass chart, I'm now in the 'fat-***' column.

Feels a lot slower than my varied results. They sure have the lock on the upload speed though.

My numbers are all over the place, but I guess it's still pretty fast, although it does feel slow most of the time.

I hear you, I was there a couple years ago. I had stopped working out, ate pizza 2-3 times a week and got really good at NCAA Football on the XBOX. Not saying that is what you are doing, but it was what I did.

But...I missed playing sports and just feeling like I did when I was younger, so I decided to make getting back in shape a priority and started hitting the gym hard. Dropped 17lbs in 3 months (to win a bet with a friend) and felt so much better. Now, I can't imagine not going. Not only is it good for my health, but good for my "mentals" too. Of course, I still have to make it a priority to squeeze it in and sometimes that means I don't get home from the gym until 12am and get <6 hrs sleep, but for me it is better than the alternative.

OK, that's enough cheerleading from me, but I guess I'm just saying I can relate. It sneaks up on us.
