Wouldn’t it be simply peachy and mango-y if all you needed to do to lose weight is simply eat less and sit like a couch potato?
Alas, life just isn’t fair (if it was, those white chocolate macadamia nuts would burn up 849 calories upon consumption), and to really lose weight effectively, you simply must […]

Morning,
Over at one of my favorite forums, the question about Shapely Secrets still rages.
For those not in the know, Shapely Secrets uses isometrics to help tone/exercise your muscles in 7 minutes.
That’s the exercise.
If you look at the website disclaimer, you’ll also notice:
*RESULTS […]

Morning,
This is major news for me!
You see, back in early 2007, I made a promise to myself that by the end of summer, I’d be able to do one (only one!) pullup by myself.
At the gym, we have this super cool assisted pullup machine - when I started, I worked against a 90 pound […]

Morning,
Today’s workout at the gym was most enlightening. True, while I took it ‘way easy (yesterday’s kendo class had completely toasted my wrists, so I chose the ’super slow’ method of weight lifting today), it was commented to me in the locker room that ‘oh, you can use the treadmill? I get […]

Well! Today is Kendo class, my favorite martial arts weapons activity.
Last week, I was beyond utterly decimated in sparring; I was toasted past recognition. It was quite a character building experience, and I did make certain to use it to teach my kids rather valuable ideas about fear, bravery and the […]

Morning,
Long long ago, back before the earth’s crust cooled, I worked at a large telecommunications company…in a building surrounded by park-like lands complete with MacGyver geese and other assorted wildlife.
One of the neat things I noticed was many employees would walk around in groups outside during their lunch break. True, I never […]

I’m intense.
Yes indeed, I finally have accumulated enough self-knowledge to realize, I throw myself in 110% whenever attempting new and/or challenging activities…to the point one simply has to wonder about my sanity.
Take yesterday. Please. Yesterday, I took my boys to Sesame Place and let me tell you, discovered that what is easy […]

Morning,
One of the toughest things dieters have to realize is that eating less junk food is GOOD! But eating too few calories is BAD!
It certainly sounds counter-productive!! There are folks on weight loss forums who will declare they’re eating 1,200 calories or so…but the weight just doesn’t come off. Why oh […]

Alas, but it’s true. There is no such thing as ’spot-reducing’. Heck, if there was, all of my weight would have first disappeared off my tummy, leaving me a robustly Rubenesque wench of wonder!
I actually have a fondness for double-chins, much like people have a fondness for an accident that force them […]
