My son and I are starting a 16 week program today. We are going to eat the same diet and do the same exercise program. This isn’t going to be difficult for me because I have been doing this for a long time, but my son will have a little more trouble. He eats very […]
The New Year’s Trap
Published in December 22nd, 2008
It is that time of year again when people make these New Years resolutions. I think this is a huge mistake and a trap. How many people actually stick with their resolutions? The success rate is not good. It is like going on a “diet.” As soon as you call it a diet it makes […]
Holiday Madness
Published in December 21st, 2008
Well Christmas seems to be creeping up so fast and I have so much to do. Over the years I have had a tradition of baking cookies and desserts for the holidays to give to friends and family. Last year I didn’t bake because I was afraid I would have trouble not eating any of […]

Coca Cola announces a new drink that uses Stevia instead of Aspartame
Published in December 16th, 2008
Coca Cola announces they will put out a new drink using Stevia instead of an artificial sweetener. One would think this is a step in a better direction, but instead there are reports stevia is “unsafe.” So who is behind this stupidity?

For the entree I would order chicken parmesan with fettucine alfredo. I couldn’t leave without dessert, which was the […]

The Fat Man Walking…Did the Fat Man Walking Disappear?
Published in December 11th, 2008
I had been following the story of The Fat Man Walking until he stopped writing on his site. Then I read that they made a documentary on him. I kept waiting to hear more, but nothing. I wonder what happened to him and if he found happiness. I did find an interview of him at […]
