by Charles February 19, 2008

Yes! This has been one heck of a week with many struggles, but many positive experiences as well. Food: I only had one drink that was not on the core plan (a couple of glasses of wine last night). I managed to cut back on sweets and increasing fruit and vegetable intake. I took my [...]

by John T February 18, 2008

Just how far is it?

by Charles February 13, 2008

When I started pushing myself to exercise this week by walking, one of the factors that becomes important in recognizing progress is just how far I am walking.  Naturally, the simplest method is to drive the route you walk.  However, I don’t really want to waste the gas (and it costs more than it used [...]

What's the opposite of Wardrobe Malfunction?

by Rick February 13, 2008
