Dear Classmates: Just as those slick cars we grew up with and drove back in our high school days are now classics, we too, are becoming vintage!
A few of those mid ‘50s Corvettes have been meticulously cared for or restored, but many more are in need of an engine rebuild, parts replacements, or a down [...]
Ediets.com continues to be more and more impressive. If you’ve seen some of my comments on my posts you might have noticed some from two people from the company. Amazing. Today, one of the women from ediets who has been talking to me, Cathy, sent me a wonderful email letting me know, among other things, [...]
It was nearly a month ago that my wife and I watched the movie Food, Inc. . It was one of the funniest comedies I’ve seen in years!
OK, let’s get serious. This film has really stuck with me. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about it. Now, I’m not going to get [...]
I learned something new this week. The LoseIt iPhone app that I use to track the food I eat, also has a feature that allows me to see what total percentage of that day’s (or that week’s) food is fat, carbs and protein. (I never noticed this feature before until now). In addition, the total cholesterol [...]

Despite my excitement of last week, I decided this morning not to do my usual measurements this week. T.O.M. is back in town and he is punishing me for some past transgression that I obviously made against him. Out of pure meanness, he is causing me to swell and I do not want that marring [...]
I was trying to avoid Girl Scout cookies. When asked about purchasing some I went to the Girl Scout website to see if they contained High Fructose Corn Syrup and / or Partially Hydrogenated Oils. Well, according to the website, yes. So I said no. I have two boxes of Thin Mints in my freezer [...]
So I started a new workout routine Friday. In particular, a new chest routine. I started with dumbbell chest flies and immediately followed each set up with dumbbell bench presses. Essentially, I did a super-set. I’m feeling insanely sore today, which is nice.
This afternoon I did 30 minutes on [...]
The famous golden arches have been in the news this week and as usual attracting a degree of criticism. Questions have been raised about McDonalds sponsorship of the Winter Olympics and also a deal struck with weight watchers.
It is worth getting something on the table straight up. McDonalds is in the business of selling fast [...]
