Welp, fortunately, I paid some for a few sessions with a personal trainer at my 24 Hour Fitness long time ago and told me about the importance of squats/deadlifts. It's thoroughly in my routine. He told me "chest, back, legs one day; shoulders, triceps, biceps, legs the next day; twice a week" is the best.
I eat and drink all day. Thanks to mom, I have fruit and a healthy sandwitch which I consume around the 11am or 3:30pm period, depending on what I'm in the mood for. Maybe I should just have more of mom's cooking - while I still have her. When I move to L.A. in 2009, I'm not gonna have that healthy luxury.
I do plan on going to the gym more often than just twice a week, or so I keep telling myself. And I will lookup this Rippetoe workout at work tomorrow, see what it's all about. Not really shooting for twig status, but at my prime one year ago, I had a pretty confident six-pack - not a body-builder's one, of course, but Olympic swimmer-like: not big, but there. That's my real goal.
This is good stuff, all the more convincing that I'm doing some things wrong. Keep it coming.
