Pasta makes you fat

Turns out that having your post workout pasta will not make you fat!

You think we are that naive?

The website associated with this ad posted the following: The American Medical Association (AMA) recently concluded that "high fructose corn syrup does not appear to contribute to obesity more than other caloric sweeteners."

Their argument is that you are going to eat substances that make you fat but High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) is not worse than the other sweetners.

You sold me!?! Too bad that our society doesn't eat anything in moderation. The Corn refiners think we are idiots. There is a graphical correlation of the start of major soda companies using HFCS instead of sugar and the diabetes epidemic we are seeing.

Our bodies are designed to filter toxins from our bodies, otherwise a lot of us wouldn't have made it out of our twenty's but that doesn't mean we should abuse it. Yes, HFCS are probably fine in moderation but they do not contribute to a healthier lifestyle and we have seen their abuse. Why don't we as a society try to change the mindset of sugar/HFCS abuse.

I will get off my soap box now and let the presidential candidates take over.

Great example of human potential

It is always good to strive past what you are currently capable of. One of the items that I have been stressing is body control and the use of body weight exercises. This is the upper reaches of body control and it's impressive.

I am working towards building the best empowerment facility in south jersey. That is why I am off to Alwyn and Rachel Cosgrove's Results Fitness in Santa Clarita California. I hope to come back and create the best facility in the Philadelphia region.

Why I wear number 73?

I have lived in three NFL cities in my life and up until this past December, I had not bought a football team jersey. I went to high school in Tampa and college near Washington DC, and currently preside outside Philadelphia. Tampa bucs, for of most my stay ,was terrible team including the famous or infamous "REPUS" bowl where the loser of the game received the first draft pick. Washington redskins fans are so obnoxious that I never felt like I wanted to join their minions. I am an eagle fan and finally wanted to brand myself as one. Not to wear any old Eagles jersey I decided to get a Shawn Andrews Jersey because I played offense line in college and like to think the lines are ultimate reason why teams are successful.
Well, I got the jersey and wouldn't you know the he is not in training camp. I was frustrated at the news and assumed that he was holding out for more money or some of the selfish reasons people often hold out of camp.
I was sad to learn that he was dealing with depression. At 6 feet four inches and 340 lbs you would think this man would be able to with stand anything. He has stated that he has had some emotional issues related to his size since he was a kid and the scars are still there. I had felt some of the same pain over my appearance when I was younger and can relate. These issues don't go away you just have learn to acknowledge them and use them as assist. I hope he learns how to deal with his pain and I hope he recovers and not because he is an all pro lineman. Even if he never plays again, I will wear his jersey!
