It's where I write stuff
The fat loss continues according to plan, with small cuts in calories as I go along. Fortunately, I haven't had to drop below 1900 calories yet and I'm not dealing with any hunger issues. I put what I learned in my PT Course to the test and it's been working quite well. Specifically, I use …
It's a losing position. Biology tells us, among other things, that the species best suited to their environment will have the best reproductive success. When the version of this particular coronavirus which we've labeled CoV-2 evolved a spike protein that happened to fit nicely into the ACE-2 receptor in human cells, it became an evolutionary …
I'm sure I've written about this before, but no one reads this anyway so if I repeat myself, who would know? As my diet continues, I touched a new low in body weight of 168.8 lbs, which I haven't seen since 1993 when I was training for triathlon and hit a low of 163 lbs. …
