Went easy on legs today although it should have been a cardio session; instead I focused on working my abs. I spent only about 10 mins on the elliptical. Weight crept up a bit this week since I have been eating a bit more than I usually do. I will just have to hit the cardio a bit more.Â

Washington — Japan and the United States agreed Tuesday that the deadline to move the Futenma military base within Okinawa Prefecture by 2014 is no longer viable and committed to completing the relocation “at the earliest possible date after 2014.”  Click to read...
My Comments:
With the growing Sino influence throughout the far east, and the constant threat from the North Korean, it would be quite foolish for the Japanese to push the U.S out of Japan. Â Yes, they are a proud people, but they are realists as well. Â The ironic things is…the Chinese are as well.

Really all-around good workout. I didn’t feel as tired at the end as I have recently. My eating has gotten much better. I feel like I had enough fuel in the tank to get a good workout in. I might need to pull back on the Pull-downs to improve on my form and technique so I can get good gains.Â

Pretty good cardio day. Also had a great push up day as well. I am closing in on 50% of my caloric burn goal. Will do a measure-up this weekend. Still feel pretty good all-around. I also need to kick up my ab routine. Will be working on that over the next few weeks. Â

Most bedroom problems boil down to this: Men are microwaves and women are slow cookers.
With men, all you have to do is push a few buttons and we”re hotter than a habanero. But with women, it”s an all-day process. You have to buy the ingredients, mix them together, and then put everything in the pot and let it simmer . . . and simmer . . . and simmer.
That”s why we”re offering a microwave mentality for the Crock-Pot reality: quick, easy things you can do to make her heating speeds better match yours. Our suggestions take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. The payoff? They”ll quickly adjust her thermostat to high heat.
