Wow, you guys make me feel like death is looming. Check out these vitals:
33 yrs old
5'10"
220lbs

I have 2 IT jobs which require me to sit on my ass all day. Oh and I'm a smoker too. Trust me, you've got nothing to worry about. I wish I was in the same shape as you. (first)

I hope one of those jobs has a good health insurance policy.

red yeast rice?? never heard of it.. where can I get it?
Do you have any health foods stores (ie. Wild Oats, Whole Foods) near by? Solgar, Solray or Source Naturals are good brands of RYR. A qaulity brand is important.

I work for Anthem Blue Cross and we have a beatiful gym on the property. I needed a wavier signed by my doctor. Doctor called me and refused to sign, saying that I havent had a check up in 3 yrs. I told him to forget it, he just wanted my co-pay. lol

I keep telling myself I'll get to it, but man, motivation is hard to come by. Hopefully I can quit one of these damn jobs this summer. Not trying to be a joker, but unfortunately that is the way it is for alot of people in our fat country.

I thought I told you about that when you had your cholesterol check up last time? Health food store (Whole Foods, etc.), GNC, etc. :)

yeah, found the one in west hartford. I can hit it up when I go visit the inlaws next, or when I pick up my truck (if it is ever done) I live in the middle of nowhere, but I'm 30 mins max from a lot of places.

Yea about 80% of men don't go to the doctors until their dick stops working. True Story.

For protein I use Trueprotein.com, I buy 16lbs at a time. Much cheaper and higher quality.

Sean- GNC will have it, I just despise that overpriced shack. Try online. http://www.evitamins.com/viewallbrands.asp Never used this company but they have good brands. You can find anything online.
 
speaking of that.. pixy if you and nick ever want to visit Jess and I in CT, there is a bus that leaves from the cheesequake rest stop that costs 15 bucks and It'll drop you off at Mohegan Sun, a casino 20 mins from our house.
 
Corwin, would you mind recommending something to me? I'd rather not take something I know nothing about and just found out about on the internet. Do you take a specific brand or know someone who does? I'm very weary about suppliments.
