Imaginary word. Real weight loss.
admin Len Penzo posted a tongue-in-cheek list of thirteen yucky Halloween treats that kids hate. My (semi) tongue-in-cheek response was that the solution to make sure that kids don’t get any treats that they don’t like was easy: Don’t take the kids trick or treating.

My wife is a very persistent and patient woman. She asked me to let her take over my diet for this month in an effort to help me get rid of my carbohydrate addiction. She’s taken to a low-carb diet for the past six months to a year, and she’s dropped 35 pounds. She’s making … Read more
I really adore my rice and beans because it’s something that I can eat day-in, day-out, cheaply, without getting sick of it.

I asked this question over at Slimmify.com: How do you combat the late-night munchies? User “robulus” (who runs a website LiveAndMove.net) came up with this response. Here’s an … Read more
Tough Money Love was kind enough to stop by with a comment on my last post to tell me that I was making things too hard on myself. He provided a lead to a guest post he did over at Lazy Man and Health. He lost 52 pounds in 136 days, and has kept them … Read more
Three nights in a row with 30 minutes or more logged in on Wii Fit … better than the past few months anyway. Mixed in a little bit of yoga — Sun Salutation and Half Moon baby! — as well as an in-place run around the happy island. Just about missed completing the tilt-the-board game. … Read more
