It's been a while, I know...but I have really good reasons this time: (i) my laptop died (read: my cousin, Patrick, killed it), and (ii) I had surgery--on my wrist--on my right hand (and I am righty)-- a few weeks ago, and was in intolerable pain the weeks leading up to that.

I was reading through some blogs on bodybuilding.com and came across a post on a mind conditioning video. I watched the video in disbelief (along with the man in the video). Our minds are very powerful and if used the right way, can help us to achieve all our fitness goals, whether it be to [...]

Excuses, excuses...What can I say but sorry for being so MIA lately! I stink...i know!

I'd rather be here right now:

So - I haven't updated in a while because I have a ton of awesome San Francisco pictures that... I can't upload until I find the thingy that connects my camera to my Mac! Oh la la!

Excuses, excuses. I know.

Anyway, to get a BIT caught up, in the past few weeks I've:

Gymphobia is a term used by people who have some level of fear about working out at a gym. Mainly, a lot of it has to do with feelings of intimidation whether it be the “looks†one feels they get from other members or just feeling awkward about using the equipment.

Hi Andrew,

The overwhelming majority of people who came to the restaurant last week, all 999 of them loved it and said Sydney defiantly (sic) needs a restaurant like Rockpool (fish).

Run…Run! Hurry, HURRY! Gotta go here, gotta go there… Does this sound anything like your life? Nowadays we are always on the run. Soccer practice, work, meetings, church, and so on and so on. It’s no wonder people are not eating the right foods and are choosing fast food instead. Well, I have some quick tips [...]

We all know how motivating music can be, but everyone has their own “taste†in music and what will help them to push themselves to reach their fitness goals. What music motivates you to work hard? Here is my mp3 player list: Pat Benetar - The Warrior Beastie Boys- You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party Big and [...]

Here are some wonderful sites I seen the last few days.

Cute animals once again!
Did you know- Animal (video clips)

My Strathmere blog - and a video that I had posted on it - were featured on the CBS3 News in a story about the severe beach erosion at Strathmere.
