I got hit. I will hit back.
Props to Other_hbk for using his mantra, I felt it was appropriate.
While the weekend was a good time, I fell into a Black Hole the other day. Very miserable, then very angry. Lifting at the gym didn't help, but it did fuel my performance. It wasn't until well after dinner, into the apple pie and cosmo phase of the evening, that things seemed to lighten a bit.
The next day, like Kaizer Soze, it was gone. I don't know what to fully attribute it to, but I can point at some factors: a full night's sleep, several successful support calls, and frequent repetitions of "get over it."
In a less serious vein, let's talk about BMI for a moment, which I refer to as Body Mass Idiocy. Does anyone know of a more accurate means to factor this? The simple formula tells me that I'm overweight (at 27.4%), but it also (wisely) says that people who work out have a higher than normal number w/out being unhealthy. Do you just say, "hey I work out, punk" and multiply the result by .8 or something?

I suppose you could google for it. I know that way back in the day, in gym class, we caluclated our fat percentage and there was a quick and dirty way to estimate whether you had a small, medium, or large frame. It was based on your height and circumfrence of your wrist, I think.
I agree pretty much with all that's been said about BMI being a crock, especially if you lift. I'm borderline on the BMI at around 168 at the moment. I have been as big as 170-185 if I really push it with even more weigth and more frequent workouts. With my height and frame and they insist that's overweight. Bullshit. Kazilla smash BMI. ::growls::
