We’ve managed to pack one helluva week into our tiny little flat. My cold persists, and the other night I coughed so hard that I actually pulled a muscle. Then I blew out our amp by crossing the output wire with the firewire cable. (No music. No Battlestar Galactica. Does this mean we have to have real conversation to fill the silence?) To top things off, Tim elbowed his MacBook this morning and broke the screen.

Never mind. How about some links, yeah?

• Scary Statistics. Between 2003 and 2006, only about 16% of Americans aged 15 years and older participated in sports and exercise on a daily basis and walking was the most popular form of exercise overall. Check out more sports and exercise statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor.
• How to Get Your 5-a-Day. Culinate has some great ideas for getting more vegetables in your diet. I’m a huge proponent of the tip: “Spend an hour on Sunday washing and prepping your vegetables for the upcoming week.”
• The 29 Healthiest Foods on the Planet. This list by BellyBytes features the 29 foods that will give you “the biggest nutritional bang for your calorie buck”. I was happy to see lentils featured among the beans, grains and nuts!
