How to Piss Off Women at the Gym
In a recent Men’s Health newsletter, I received a list of 30 “hot” things to say to a naked woman in bed. They include: “Good morning,” and “I’ll go make the coffee.” Also, “You sleep. I’ll go check on the baby,” and my personal favorite: “Hungry? Stay right here. I’ll go make a burrito.” Reading these, I worry about the state of romance in America, or at least among Men’s Health subscribers. In any event, the list inspired me to think about hot things to say to girls at the gym. After minutes of deliberation, I realized there aren’t any. So instead I made a short list of things not to say to women at the gym.

Super Bowl Sunday!!! My workout, and what I ate
Yes, I posted a health-conscious blog about the Super Bowl that managed to irk a handful of social workout beer snobs ;) Here's what I ate for the Super Bowl, just to show you that I'm a human being, and was only offering some helpful suggestions and not a healthy ultimatum, or whatever y
Workout
Snow Jammit
Saturday, sometime before noon. I'm in bed, grumpy as a hibernating bear, listening to my phone repeatedly buzz from texts and 11am-calling assholes previously known as 'friends.' I have all the hangover and none of the previous evening's indulgences.

A brief summary of Friday's activity
0. Get off work at 5pm, walk to lead singer's house.
1. Band practice from 5:30pm-11pm.
2. Regular intervals of push-ups and dips and cups of coffee.
3. Dinner of tuna fish, crackers, pringles, and a delicious pear.
4. Meet up with friends to watch them hit on obnoxious chics with boyfriends they forgot they'd forgot to mention.
One Week of Workouts: FAIL
Well, I thought I could do it: work out for a week straight and see what it felt like to actually be someone people look up to... you know, a gym hero. I absolutely failed. Getting off of work at 6pm, going to band practice straight from work until 10-11pm, then going home to cook and air boxing/doing push-ups while tomorrow's lunch and that night's dinner fizzles in boiling EVOO...
Sports Illustrated Cover: Provocative, Evocative, or, Wow Those Are Really Ugly Tights

Hooookay, I did a short yesterday on Vanity Fair's Skinny White Girl Parade, which was clearly an oversite and a little depressing.
Man-Approved Healthy Super Bowl Guide
The Superbowl has always been near and dear to me—especially since I was working the stage in Houston during the most historical boob moment in the known universe—but it usually entails eating crap and getting hammered and the next day (hung over) discussing your favorite commercials with your coworkers gathered around the water cooler. I’m not against that at all, especially since crowds of people will be hollering WHO DAT after every black-and-gold major play. Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But, as an advocate for health, I’ve perused the Internet and selected a few alternatives to plates of pasta, fried wings, and Jager shots after team TDs.

My Air Kickboxing Kicks Your Air Guitar Playing's Ass
Day 2 of the "I am going to work out every day for a week" self-inflicted challenge. Feeling the need to cram in 7 workouts in 7 days is anti-motivating, especially when I'm preparing for a gig in a couple of weeks as well as trying to find time to work on writerly activities after work.

Volleyball Last Night
We came. We played. We lost.
I'm having a hard time deciding to keep playing. It's not that I hate losing, I hate getting yelled at by teammates or watching them yell at other people. I'm out there to have fun, not to win, and it just saps the game and energy right out of me to see the team crumble and grumble and complain the whole damn game.
Workout
Olympic Pushups and a Birthday Update and an Identity Crisis
I did my share of attempting to support an Olympic team, knocking out pushups, some core work, and some boxing until 1am folllowing my band's practice. I hope people posted their workouts, and I hope we can amp up our participation to 50 percent so we can slip some funding to one of our team's way.
Workout
Open Letter: Hot Yoga
Dear Hot Yoga,
While I have my reservations about "Yoga," I always thought of "Hot Yoga" in a way that reflects the difference between a girl saying her "Friend" and her "Cute Friend." That is, an attempt to subtly sell something by monosyllablically dressing it up. See also: "Cool Ranch," "F*ck Buddy," and "Hip Hop."
Workout
Just Not Feeling It
Every challenge, there comes a point where I stop myself and ask--why the hell am I doing this? Some of the earlier challenges I completed because I needed to figure myself out, change my method of day-seizing, or because it was great getting my exercise romp on with a gaggle of social workout badasses.
Lately, though, I'm just not sure.
Workout
Concussions, Chipping Teeth, and Coke Hangovers: My Booze-Free Weekend
Being booze free is great. I feel much more secure about my pocket book, sleep a helluva lot more (not the blackout kind of sleep), and get to lucidly admire debauched behavior among friends and coworkers, or, um, alternatively stay home and play video games with Tedesco.

New Muay Thai Class at Crunch Lafayette
I finally went to this class. It's taught Weds, 7:15-8:15 nights, and hasn't been made public yet. I've taken several classes, and worked with this trainer personally... though now I have his name confused, as I think it's Caleb, but his coworkers don't seem to reconize that name.
Email it to me. But until I see it, I won't believe it.

you're never too old to stand up for your friends! especially against coked out metalheads.
