Just a short one today:
Waterbottleman:
- points: tall and lanky, too long hair (stringy-too long goatee, not on purpose), blue-one-size-fits-none overalls, buckteeth
+ points: short visit
Went to the gym, did my weights, + tonight I'm going to hockeytraining (+ 1 have two games this week due to bad organization of the federation) so that's exercize taken care of this week anyway. Was good with food.
Made a very nice evening soup with dried black mushrooms, rice vermicelli, broth and a bit of olive oil and red hot peppers (Yummy!). As I have a stainless steel lined stomach this also made my breakfast, after all: the chinese eat rice for breakfast all the time, don't they?!
About sweating:
Sweating IS good for you. It helps you get rid of body waste in a different way, and keeps your body cool. People who sweat too much though (see below) tend to lose more water and minerals than is good for them though (also heavy on the kidneys), so they have to drink lots during and after exercizing, and maybe take extra minerals.
I have been burdened with genes that make me sweat very fast and very much to keep me cool (when I am exercizing), which i think is a real PITA and I have to drink up to 1 1/2 litres (4 pounds) of water during an hour of aerobics. Sweat keeps pouring off me like somebody opened the tap (!!), and I get saltwater stains in my clothes after exercize. This is really annoying, but also very good (hah) because:
1. I can eat as much salt in my food as I like without having to think about bloating (IF I exercize, that is), and high bp.
2. I can get away with exessive long and frequent showering (which I love, in case ANYBODY was wandering, thank you), keeping the bathroom occupied for HOURS (hehe) and buying and trying out lots of nice shower gels on the pretext "that I use it a lot anyway".
3. I can get away from sauna visits, they make me feel very uncomfortable
4. It's good for my metabolism (they say)
Apart from the above, it's pretty annoying, and I'm just trying to justify myself (of course).
Have a nice day everyone! Going for a shower!

P.S. And NO, I do not smell (only of flowers)!!! (in case anybody was wondering...)
