Healthy with Shani

determine density (p) where m = my muscle (mass) and v = my entire body (volume) I notice daily how much more dense I feel and am slightly addicted to touching myself when I workout lol. ok, im not that  obvious about it, nor is it a sexual thing, but it's absolutely rewarding and motivating to be able to feel the results of determined work.  particularly, to feel my hamstrings becoming well developed rocks.  Hamstrings used to be my least favorite part to work - mainly because they were one of my weakest.  I now find myself determined to hit this group with as many movement variations as i possibly can to strengthen and balance the entire area. I find myself working so much harder because it took time and pain to get here  and it will take time and pain to get there .  i dont mind. It's one thing to see  results and an entirely different thing to feel  results at a micro level.  Of course you can feel results when you wake every ...

So, yeah, Sandy hit everyone pretty hard. But I never lost power, never had to fight for gas, never had to retrieve my belongings from the ocean, never had to watch my neighborhood go up in flames, never had to search for a hot meal and never had to take an ice cold shower. Nope. I am so lucky. The only thing affected was my waistline. And that was hit hard. The event too easily morphed into my excuse for indulging in cheese-its, beer, burgers, fries, ice cream, cupcakes, chocolate, chips, chocolate chips and anything else I can't think of that has left toxic molecules floating around my brain and contributed to an influx of adipose tissue that currently sticks to my hips. Oh yeah baby! I went HAM on some ham...sandwiches. I ate Shake Shack for goodness sake!!! Shani ate Fast food!!! Oooohhh but it was gooood. For the moment... All this food...then what? The fat fest is over. All I felt while eating these things were the happy chemicals seeping through my...

Hurricane Sandy smashed NYC/NJ and LI this past weekend and we're still reeling from the devastation. The city feels like it's been through an Apocalypse.  I can not even imagine what 9-11 was like for those living here during those events.  In some way, it's a tiny bit comforting to know that there was absolutely nothing that any person could have done to prevent this from happening.  We are somewhat powerless against nature. Though I remained quite fortunate through this event, my heart is broken for the ones who were not and for those who are guarding their homes and remaining valuables from others with ill intentions....for those waiting in line at gas stations just to get gas to power their generators so they can have heat for their family....for those sitting on the rooftops of their beloved homes, waiting for aerial rescue....for those whose family members drowned....for those who died in their sleep when trees fell onto their homes....for shop owners who lost ...
