Hi all!
Back for a bit after Computer Nightmares forced a little vacation from Cranky Fitness. But it did give me the opportunity to have a great time exploring more of DC! (Though not as far south as the Creeper Trail, which we'll definitely have to check out at some point!)

Thanks for the great comments and I hope to catch up with you all a bit better in the coming week!

Just wondering, have you made the move to D.C. yet? Thought I would let you know, being in that area, you are just 6 short hours from Abingdon, VA where I recommended the Virginia Creeper Trail for a hiking or biking destination. You may want to wait until the fall though, as it is purty durn hot. Oh, and of course while you're down further south, another hour's drive will put you at the Noligachucky River where there is cool white water rafting, more hiking, and swimming.

Okay, so I live in New York where trends change every three minutes and I usually miss most of them. But, for the past five years I have wintered in Delray Beach Florida, four blocks from the Boca Raton border and NO ONE ever bothered to tell me about the Cookie Diet???

I am just a bit miffed! Terrie

Twinkies does not surprise me. Nor does "average weight," although I don't know how many of us Chicagoans are average. We're the city of broad shoulders...and round waists.

And with that grim nutritional knowledge I'm planning to stuff myself with teppan shrimp and insanely fatty egg sauce tomorrow night, topped off with at least four mai tais.

Sigh. Life is hard.

Whoops. Sorry. "Aaron" was actually "Katieo" I neglected to actually look at the name before hitting publish.

Yeah, I never see the ads either in my email.

I actually got on google trends this morning from your recommend but forgot to come back CF to leave a comment! THe only thing I noticed that was really odd was I SWEAR everything I typed in from weight loss to sunburn, Australia was always #1! (??) Am I missing something?

I have three different Gmail accounts, but I never see the context google ads at all, because I use Mozilla Thunderbird to read all my mail. Ha! Thank FSM for POP3.

My favorite Google ad/e-mail combination is the spam folder. I open it to empty it-- (usually to see the "Hooray, no spam here!" and the Google ad is always some terrible recipe where the main ingredient is Spam. Spam casserole, spicy spam kabobs, spam omelette-- yuck! It's really funny, though.

Mud-wrestling? Work it! I used to live in London, about a half mile from Brentford. That's awesome. I would have never guessed...

2007-08-16T10:46:00.000-04:00

I'm surprised that none of those turned up Austin. I'm from there originally and I can tell you, there's a LOT of Health Obsessed, erm, Health Conscious people. They're mostly of the hippy, crunchy granola, Birkenstock variety though.

It is the home of Whole Foods, after all. :)

Phoenix searches are colonics and breast implants?...

2007-08-16T10:10:00.000-04:00

Phoenix searches are colonics and breast implants? How sad. It is true though. There are a lot of superficial people here. I still love it though.

2007-08-16T10:04:00.000-04:00

so i can find me an average weight male on a hearty healthy diet easy in TO, eh?

sweet!

I'm just thankful he won't be into naked yoga.

2007-08-16T09:44:00.000-04:00

Seems people in San Fran are a little more concerned about everything health related...maybe it's all that time wearing a swim suit.

Hmm St. Louis is close to KC and I can't say I've ever searched for twinkies, but I totally looked at the Cookie Diet because I thought someone had to be yankin my chain.

2007-08-16T08:37:00.000-04:00

I'm originally from Salt Lake so those two things didn't really surprise me one bit. Ha, ha.

Coincidentally, I hate Twinkies.

I found all of your findings to be very interesting and amusing.

I never would have thought of doing yoga naked, but now I think I will have to try it. In the privacy of my own living room, of course.

Nude Yoga. Y'know, why not? It makes fine sense and if you're naked you can't blame any restriction of movement on your clothing.
And how about those wacky folks in Irvine? Showing off the implants in Nude Yoga?
