No one ever died from an itch

by Rick February 28, 2009

Cross posted at antimattr. In one of my favorite podcasts, Zencast, the host, Gil Fronsdal made a comment when speaking about meditation: “No one ever died from an itch”. He was talking about living with an itch while meditating, rather than scratching it. Not only to preserve your posture while meditating, but also to train [...]

The Biggest Liar

by Charles February 26, 2009

This won’t win me big brownie points with the show, but I hate to see this happen on a show I really enjoyed. On 2/25/2009, The Biggest Loser: Couples voted off Dane Patterson. He was later shown in the “see them now” section of the episode to have completed a marathon (The Arizona Desert Classic) [...]

by John T February 24, 2009

Cross Published on Rejected Reality I cannot begin to explain to you how stressed I feel. The worst part, is there is really nothing I can do about it. We have NO extra staff anymore, so I don’t have anyone to work when I need a day off, much less when staff call in sick. [...]

Weigh-in: Year 3, Week 37

by Charles February 24, 2009

I had a good week, not a great week. I only got two responses to my last post asking what I should do about having done nothing of my required list items to avoid the challenge punishment.

Goal modification: Weight loss and Exercise

by Rick February 18, 2009

Sometimes in mid stride I have to modify and adjust my goals. I had a wee bit of a tuff time recently because Saturday Feb. 7th was race day for the 100 miler that I was training for. I did not make it to the race. It was not that I couldn’t have made it, [...]
