I’m falling a little bit behind in my writing. It’s easy for me to get 3-4 posts per week, but I’d really like 5 to be easy. Maybe I’ll figure it out soon. Either way, I’m sitting here at Les Schwab Tire Center while they fix my flat (that’s a fun way to start the day huh?) and had a few minutes to surf the web. Check out these cool links including an update on a previous post, some gift ideas for the fitness nut in your family, one shocking stat about Americans and food, and the scoop on coffee.
Lincoln University drops the required PE class for obese students: Part of me feels that this was the right thing to do. But I’m still convinced that administrators at a university are in a great position to help their obese students figure out ways to lead healthy lives.
Holiday fitness gift ideas: Some of these gifts are pretty cheesy (like the fake jump rope) but some of them look pretty cool too (kettle bells and the muscle massager)
Americans trash a lot of food: A recent study shows that the Americans throws away 1,400 calories of food per day. That’s the daily consumption of the average woman on a low calorie diet! Sad.
Coffee: The Good and The Bad: Not only is Zen to Fitness an awesome looking website with great content, the recent post about coffee is right up my alley!

Mac – thanks for changing the background color — it is much easier to read your fun and interesting posts!
Trashing 1400 calories a day of food is kind of sad, but better to trash it than eat it as part of the Clean Plate Club. Our bodies are not garbage disposals.
My school UMBC requires every student to take two PE classes.
I definitely agree that Lincoln University was taking a step in the right direction. But the fact that they were not requiring it of all students, I think, was the problem. Especially since being thin doesn’t necessarily mean you are fit. So, until they acquire the funds to require the class of all students, I don’t think it’ll work.
