Still haven't been laid since back when wart still only had two kids, but, y'know, progress.
This is most certainly due to your illogical hatred of Rush.

This is the first time in human history that anyone has correlated liking Rush to having sex with women. The guys is Rush haven't even gotten laid because they're in Rush.

Same way I did the rest of it: an aggressively sandwich-based diet and protein shakes, plus modest weights. Plus I'm a waiter so I'm constantly on my feet; I walk something like 6 or 7 miles on an average day, and that's including off days where I don't even leave my place.

The extra few lbs I carry from time to time is in my midsection. It's the last to go with excess weight. The Strategic Energy Reserve.

Some day I will need to call on it.

Article says the increased weight is backed by science, but then it doesn't lay out any science. Just survey results on weight gains and notes factors like less time, sleep etc. Is that science?

ouch!

This is unscientific but I took my girl to see Rush a few months ago and I didn't get it for like three days. Pretty much proving Rush is an anti-aphrodisiac.

I'd still go see Rush again in a heartbeat.

A guy at work who didn't know my name described me to another coworker as "that tall, skinny guy". When she figured out it was me she said "oh him? He's not skinny AT ALL." This lady probably outweighs me, btw. Guess it's time to get back on the fitness plan.

Servers I know with fitbits report a modest 4-5 miles/shift.
