compassionategirl, I'm not sure about the source of the chocolate used in my soymilk . That was one of the reasons I was asking. I'm going to look into the sources of vegan fair trade chocolate listed in this article, "Chocolate, Unchained."

stove6, I'm sorry, but I don't have the recipe on hand right now, but the Tempeh London Broil recipe is from Dining With Friends, by Priscilla Feral and Lee Hall. I left my copy of cookbook is at my office .

Not a bad workout, today. I didn't hit all my numbers, but I still improved over my last workout. I found a couple little two pound dumbbells and stuck them in my pockets for added wait on the chins. I would have had that last set of deads, but my grip gave out.

This is what my shins usually look like after deadlifting.

Or you could hold a dumbell with your feet/legs, that works up to a certain weight. But at some point you'll need a chain

There seems to be a lot of comic book fans on this site so I thought I'd post this picture from Oct 1997.



That's right, I'm a complete dork. Hope you folks like the new avatar.
