What Love is Not - February 12th, 2009
Robby
I decided to use my Polar heart rate monitor to see how many calories I burned through physical activity. I bike for transportation and I like to get places pretty quickly. So, I spend a lot of time out of the saddle and my heart rate gets pretty high during general commuting. I biked 12 miles yesterday, for a total of 1:45 minutes and the HR monitor said I burned 850 calories. I bike at least 7 miles every day and usually more.
I did some sprints in the football stadium in the morning. That took 50 min, including all the rest and burned 527 calories. In the afternoon, I played 3 pickup basketball games which lasted 1:10 minutes and burned 673 calories. That is a total of 2050 calories burned through physical activity.

I would like to share a poem from Kelly Bryson's book, Don't Be Nice, Be Real. This comes from a chapter titled From Fighting Fair to Fun Fighting. The poem is on page 123.
What Love is Not
by Kelly Bryson
Love is not saying "I love you" when your lover is thirsty;
It is giving them a drink.
Love is not hugging your sunburned lover;
It is rubbing them with lotion made of zinc.
Love is not reading her a love poem
When she is trying to go to sleep.
It is giving her your precious absence,
That shows your love runs deep.
So if you love them, you will leave them when they need to rest.
Otherwise you will become a kind of lovers' pest.
If you want to make a mess,
Always say yes.
If you want love go,
Never say no.
All my best,
Robby
