I worked out today. That makes three days in a row. Yay, me! I even did it without my son nagging me into it. Since he’s come down with a nasty case of poison ivy, the last thing he was interested in doing was joining me, which meant I could have skipped the workout.
But I [...]

Is it just me or does it seem like to you, too, that every where we look these days there are news stories, advertisements, reports, studies and medical alerts all bearing one message: “You’re too fat! You’re too fat! You’re TOO FAT!” Is it any wonder, then, that anorexia and eating disorders are increasing among [...]

FatBlogger has a truly thought-provoking entry on the many roles that food plays in our lives.
Food is in the Garden of Eden, forbidden fruit, crunchy delicious Red Delicious. Don’t eat from the Tree of Knowledge…or nutritional labels. God was right, some things we just don’t want to know.

Ever considered that contemporary office furniture in your cubicle as your personal gym?
The Alberta Centre for Active Living offers four “yoga at your desk” videos. The routine is designed to counter the effects of sitting at your desk: sore shoulders, poor posture, weak back and abdominal muscles.
Each video is about the length of a [...]

A little over a month ago, I started taking Alli as part of my effort to lose weight. Here it is, 33 days later and my 30-day supply is out. By that you can probably figure out that I didn’t take it every single meal on every single day: I skipped taking the pill when [...]

Last night, I dreamt of you.
How gorgeous you were, spread out and waiting for me. Pink in all the right places, hard bone gleaming with juice. White mounds glistening, creamy liquid running down and making puddles beneath you.

There’s more news about the study that found a rest break between bouts of exercise helps burn more fat. In fact, it has other benefits, too, including more epinephrine (adrenaline) and a rapid decrease of insulin due to lower blood glucose levels.
