That's pretty interesting. And you say the club is in Columbus? Even
more interesting.

What I'd like to know is when is when is it better to exercise, before
or after eating, and how long before or after, especially in the
morning.

I've heard the best time to exercise is in the morning, before
breakfast. This increases metabolism and gets your body into fat-
burning mode at the beginning of the day, and is therefore the most
beneficial. If you can't exercise in the morning, the next best time
is about two hours before the evening meal.
Personally, I like the morning. For one, it wakes me up for the rest
of the day. I'm really raring to go. However, it doesn't seem to work
for my fiance, he says he's usually too tired for the rest of the day.
Also, I prefer to get it done with in the morning so that I don't have
to worry about it till next morning.

Morning Whores are so neglected.
Elliptical crosstrainers are my preferred aerobic workout, but I try to
occasionally switch with the treatmill or bike for variety. I also
like to work a part of the body on weights every session, so I make
sure to trade off between upper and lower body, except on really busy
days at the gym when all of the aerboic equipment is taken, in which
case I do the weight machines. I start up yoga again in the spring, so
the two days I'll have class (I'll be paying for two sessions a week
instead of one) will be days off from the gym, since the Iyengar
instructor is really intense.
Thankfully I've sharply reduced my fast food intake again. I prefer to
eat none at all, but currently I'm once or a week at lunch time.

I need to go back to the gym. I have sorely neglected it what with my
obsession with PS2 and CivIII. I haven't been able to wake up early
enough to go. CivIII keeps me awake late into the night.
Also, I've started eating a little more take-out. However, I still
haven't put any weight back on. Which is a good thing.

The only way I was able to break my CivIII addiction was to take
up an even more addicting game. :)
I'm subject to similar temptations/excuses with regard to my own
exercise program. But I find that regular exercise makes a huge
positive difference in my sense of well-being, both physical and
mental. So I hope Sapna sticks with it.

I hope to return to the gym tomorrow morning. Keeping fingers crossed.
CivIII - What praises should Ising. I've moved my empire up to rank
number 2, though I haven't won any wars. And I can't wait to go home
and play. But iwbg.
What game did you take up to break your CivIII addiction, remmers?

It's about killing monsters. KILL KILL KILL!
Well, there's also a plot that goes along with it, concerning
a quest to save the universe from this evil dude called the Dark
Savant who looks and acts uncannily like Darth Vader.
The Wizardry series goes back over 20 years to Wizardry I, an
Apple II "hi-res graphics" game that was very popular in the early
1980s. I was addicted to that one too. Wiz 8 has all the latest
whiz-bang technological features: 3D graphics, stereo sound,
ultra-smooth animation, but without losing the basic feel of
Wiz I and its numerous successors.

Hmmm.. I've never been into anything that is faintly "fantasy". But
wow - it survuved 20 years. That's got to say something for the game.
I'm also hooked to Need For Speed on PS2 and DDR (Don't laugh. Very
geeky arcade game, now on PC)

Thank goodness I'm not easily hooked on games. ;)
Although at one point I did spend a couple hours every day on the NES Super
Mario Bros. and got all the way through...

I used to love Donkey Kong on those little hand held games. In this
one Donkey Kong's sone was supposed to run along a wire with electrc
impulses passing through it, jumping all of them and unlocking each of
the four chains that had his father tied up. and then he was supposed
to run and catch DK when he fell. I loved it. Now I think I'd find it
boring.
Video games should be banned

I remember Wizardry for the PC from the late 1980's. A friend had
pirated a copy from somewhere. There were spells with weird names;
they must have been described in the program manual, but we didn't have
that. A lot of the fun of playing that game was figuring out what the
spells did.
If there's an updated version, I'd like to get it. I'm amazed it's
survived for so long.

Wizardry 8 came out a couple of years ago. As the number implies,
there have been eight different Wizardry games altogether. If you
were playing it in the late 1980s, you could have been playing
anything from Wiz 1 through Wiz 6. I'd have to look up the dates
to be sure, but as best I can remember, the only Wizardry game
released in the 1990s was Wiz 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant
(another wonderfully addicting pastime).
I don't see Wiz 8 much in stores, probably because it's been out
for a while. I'm sure it can be ordered online.

Hard to say. If you're not into fantasy role-playing games, it
probably won't appeal to you.
