Blinded by the community

Last Wednesday’s New York Times had an interesting article that I thought all you bloggers might enjoy: The Fat Pack Wonders if the Party’s Over. It tracks the phenomenon of foodies using blogs and forums to share their culinary finds and experiences, and explores how this is often at a detriment to their health. It’s fairly interesting to see the opinions of the foodies. I know they eat a lot of fat and sugar and other unhealthy things, but I’m surprised to see that many of the ignorantly believe that their diet doesn’t matter – they think their large size …

Please note that this post is my completely uneducated opinion. I am not a doctor, and while I’d like to get certified as a personal trainer, I haven’t even gotten as far as choosing which certification to start studying for yet. Instead of trusting me, you should probably talk to your doctor before starting a vigorous exercise program if you’re overweight/older than 10/have any medical problems including a sniffly nose, bruise on your left elbow, or chapped lips.

My Diet

In case you couldn’t tell, I’m trying to make up for my lack of posting by posting some longer entries. Well, not really, but this one and my last one were long, so we’ll call it even after this.

In my last post, I answered a comment left by an anonymous reader: I am currently a senior college athlete- about to start the real world with a 9-5 and I’m wondering how you got into running and find the time! Also- I see you allot yourself calories for alcohol- how many total cals …

My Running History

I had a comment on a recent post that I was about to respond to, when I realized that my response might actually be relevant enough to merit its own post. I am currently a senior college athlete- about to start the real world with a 9-5 and I’m wondering how you got into running and find the time! Also- I see you allot yourself calories for alcohol- how many total cals do you shoot for a day?? Thanks so much 🙂 Let’s start with how I got into running. A few years ago, I had never run except when …
