I was 6'5" and 160 lbs. all through high school.

Then college came. I couldn't do swimming cuz of classes, and it was a small campus, so I ended up gaining 40 lbs. I've got little to no stamina, and I think my wife could beat me up (and I'm twice her height and weight!) Yeah... I've really fallen off the path of healthiness.
At least you don't live off of Hot Pockets and Pop-Tarts...

...do you?
Pop-Tarts were a snack in college, never a meal. (can you believe I've never had a toasted one?)

Hot Pockets I admittedly had for lunch all through high school and whenever I was home from college. But I haven't had a single one since I got married. GASP! It really does change you!

Heh, didn't know that was all he ate. Makes sense. :P

I have never in my life had a poptart or a hotpocket, nor do I ever wish to.

Damnit!

Now I want some Pop-Tarts. I hope you're all happy now!

But I'd sooner destroy a stained glass window than eat another hot pocket.

No, I really don't. I don't like prepackaged food. I can see myself making something hotpocketesque and eating, but only if I were responsible for making the dough and deciding what went into it. As for the poptart... no thanks.

I just had a hot pocket for dinner from the campus dining hall. it was supposed to be a vegetarian "cheese pizza" pocket, but as I was eating my second I realized they had mislabeled it, and was actually a pepperoni. :cry:

hmm.. Well, I never was athletic in elementary school because of asthma (I couldn't play any sport), but now that it's gone I'm trying to do as much as I can! Even if it's only a small training everyday, or running to work.. and work itself is kind of like exercises because there is a lot of weight to lift and push (I sometime see working as a stock boy as a Zelda game, push the cart to move the lift, raise the lift to get the box, ect ect).

And with summer coming it only means.....bicycle!

At least you didn't find vegetarian fragments in your vegetarian past fagioli...

My dad bought hotpockets a month or so ago.
They're still sitting in the fridge; no one will touch them.


But I like poptarts occasionally. They're yummy.

Ohkay, as a man of not America; What the hell is a hot pocket? It looks kinda' like a low priced, long lasting pasty with too much doughy pastry and a very strange filling. Possibly the evil cousin of pasties world wide.

I knew that "pastry" tasted yucky and yet somehow familiar...
