Questions and Answers

Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one.

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Week 7 -

This week was hard. I was hungry. I was PMSey. (Yes, we all know that is a word.) I wanted to snack and I wanted food.

I made cookies and brownies to take to my cousins baby blessing, and then it was snowing so hard we didn't go, we had crown burger with Mike's dad and they messed up my order and gave me fries instead of rice. We had pizza... Yes this week was hard...

So - I wore lite pants.... I cheated in a sort of way... I know they were 1lbs different than my levi's, but I did it anyway... Just so I could lose 1lbs this week - but I was surprised at the scale, I lost 2lbs!

So I'm at 23, in my little less heavy pants.... I may have sabotaged me for next week, or I may just have to wear them every Thursday. The main problem with that theory is that they were so big I had to keep pulling them up - not sure how well that strategy is going to work for me!

Here's to an easier week!
