Normally I like doing all my fitness reading on public transit to and from work. But this book is just a little to big to whip out on a crowded train. Now instead on getting home to watch CSI re-runs, I crack open this book. 792 page thick.

So I guess I’ll have to record and convert the CSI’s to my iPod to watch on the train.

I just have to say that these things are like "CRACK". After 2 little snack bags I was hooked. I purchased them because it was my turn to provide after game snacks for my son’s soccer team. I consumed 2 bags during the game & found myself eating another 3 bags after the game. The game was on Saturday and I’ve had at least 2 to 3 bags everyday since. Shame on me….. 80 Calories, 19g of carbs & 15g of sugar. But on the other hand….. 1g of protein, 25% of vitamin A & E, 100% vitamin C & 10mg potassium. What can I say, I have to find the good that goes with the bad. Tomorrow I promise to only have 1 bag. Fruit snack rehab…. That’s funny.

After watching "Bigger Stronger Faster" I question dietary supplements even more. I witnessed dude order a few dietary ingredients (nothing to strong), mix them in a bowl (called it Pixie dust) and cram the mixture into caplets. Placed 100 caplets into a bottle slapped a fancy label on it. He took one photo of himself and had it edited and air brushed for a before and after photo to composed a fake magazine ad. He said to produce 1 bottle cost him $1.40 and he could turn around a sale that 1 bottle for 60 bucks. Damn. And he also says that everything he did was legal & by the books.

Now that I think about it…. that SuperPump250 I’ve been using does taste like fruit punch kool-aid mixed with a little asprin and flour. LOL.

I’m trying to figure out my true body fat count. I have this weight watcher’s scale that I have to input my age, height and then step on for it to shoot a pulse thru my body to tell me that I’m 28.2% BF.  I go online and find a BMI calculator where I enter in my weight and mesurements for my waist, wrist, hips & forearm for it to generate a calculation of 20.59%. I don’t know which one to trust. I just know I’m ready to break the scale because after putting in a good day of eating correctly & a good workout it seems like the BF percentage increases. Scales are bad.
