Friday thoughts

An assortment of . . . stuff:

  • I'm hoping Pittsburgh knocks off Detroit in the Stanley Cup final, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
  • NHL hockey in June is wrong. Just wrong.
  • Lebron James is a unique mixture of exceptional talent and unstoppable brute force. I would love to see a James/Kobe Bryant matchup in the NBA final.
  • Unfortunately, it looks as though Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic have other plans, as they lead James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-2 in the East final.
  • Howard is no slouch either.
  • A high of 28 tomorrow? Bring it on!
  • So I've taken the advice of the experts - started eating breakfast regularly, loading up on fruits and veggies, upped the fibre intake, I'm drinking lots of water and getting more cardio exercise. The end result? A GAIN of 10 pounds! WTF?
  • No, seriously - WTF?
  • Five weeks until the annual pilgrimage to Ontario with the J-man. Bring it on!
  • If I ask you to email me your comments on something I've written, don't call me and expect to dictate your changes to me. I'm not your freakin' secretary.
  • I think the Regina Pats could do a lot worse than a coaching combination of Curtis Hunt and Dean Brockman - with Jamie Heward as the 2nd assistant. That may not solve all the organization's problems, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.
  • If my sources are right, and the Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation comes on board as the main investor in a new multi-purpose stadium complex for Regina, I wonder if the facility will include a small casino?
  • I am hereby launching my campaign for the inclusion of a Saskatchewan Roughrider Hall of Fame in the new facility. Let's make it happen, folks!

Your weight gain could be in relation to more calories coming in, but not burning them fast enough. Keep the cardio, and toss in some circuit weight training. On an off day do what I call, "active rest". Find something that doesn't hurt the body/joints and keep moving. Swimming, Aquasize, or Cycling is great for that.

I don't know how you work out, but you may have gained 10 lbs because you've built muscle. Muscle wieghs more than fat so the real number you should look at is Body Mass Index.

Well, I have been hitting the weights a fair bit. And the body fat percentage is down a little, so I guess the extra weight isn't all blubber. And the increased cardio should help too.

Now, if I could just find me a life-in nutritionist/cook, I'd be rolling! Volunteers?
