You Can't Outrun Bad Nutrition

I hear it all the time, "You can eat anything you want because you hike, run and workout all of the time."
But the fact is, I can't outrun bad nutrition.
I could easily burn the calories in soda, sugary cereals, white bread, or any of the other poisons so common to most people's diets, but I can't outrun the detrimental affects poor nutritional choices will have on my health....and neither can you.

TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Heavy Lifting and Heavy Bag
When it came time for my afternoon workout, I couldn't decide between doing Olympic lifts, squats, or deadlifts. So, starting with a fairly light bar and adding 10 - 20 lbs each set, I began the workout with snatches and overhead squats. When the bar got to heavy for those, I moved on to power snatches, then clean & jerks, followed by power cleans, and finally supersets of standard and sumo deadlifts.
Later, since I had a little free time before an evening client session, I headed back out to my gym for a 30 min heavy bag workout.
