Although I think it's somewhat normal to fluctuate within a couple of pounds depending on how much food and water in body, etc. On the positive side, my last couple of gym workouts have been intense enough to require 2 full days of recovery, and I'm gettting a b...

The morning began with a silent drift of snow from dark skies, yet now an hour later, the sky is blue, the sun bright. The sun melts the snow and my internal culture of angles and complaints falls away. Thu, 11 Jan 2007 11:22:54 +0100
