"If I want benefits, I want to earn them."

Oh, Marina! I just had visions of a libertarian-branded health plan. Haha. I love it.

BTW (and I should probably post this at EthiopianEats.com, forgive me) I found another Capitol Hill Ethiopian restaurant - we should check it out!

It doesn't matter how far science goes. You can never reap exercise benefits without exercise.

Just like with anything else in life, you just can't get something for nothing.

Lipo, diet pills, even people who go so far as to get gastric bypass can't succeed without actually doing real work.

It's amazing just how fast a good exercise regimen starts to make you look and feel better, too. I'm sad that so many people find excuses and talk themselves out of it before they even start. My mother is getting lipo this month and has crash dieted to get her blood pressure down enough to actually get the surgery, but I'm sure that in her vacation a month after she'll binge it back.

People can say all they want about "what's on the inside is what matters", but then we'd have to ignore poor hygeine, inappropriate dressing, and the ever-taboo fitness issue. I know I'm overall much happier when I'm eating right and exercising, so I can't imagine the rest of the populace is much different.

Please excuse the typos I'm sure I've made, I'm getting used to the iPhone keyboard.
