Sweet, this thread might really help me (and you, yes you!)

PSJ, I'm definitely ditching the old crunches after what you've told me. Both of those exercises sound alot better.
Terra, lol @ walking to the bar, to the next bar, to the club, then haystack dancing really CAN burn off the booze. I've been walking alot more since starting my semester in Italy but the food here in Bologna is so fucking good. I eat like a vaccuum cleaner, literally finishing everything around me.
Honoko, eating out is the devil. After I posted the initial post I went to the store and bought beans, rice, skim milk, hot sauce (of course!), lettuce, apples, and some spices. I'm going to try not to go out as often as I have been. Good for my body, my cooking skills (so I can be a trophy/stay-at-home dad) and my wallet!
Red, the gym is a great tool. I was in the best shape of my life when it was free in HS (and one year in college), but nowadays I really don't have the $ for monthly memberships and while I would get stronger I was also getting fatter.

Sorry if the choices for the poll weren't the best. I wasn't even going to have them at all but figured why the hell not?
