BLC 20 experiences
Monday, December 03, 2012 12 comments I started out reasonably well but I think I allowed myself to get derailed. It was a big irony that November was No Excuses Month because that was the month when excuses started cropping up all over! I was sick! I was too busy at work! There... Read more
Eat a Red Apple Day
Saturday, December 01, 2012 11 comments I just read on the Interwebs that December 1st is "Eat a Red Apple Day". It is also, more importantly, World AIDS Awareness Day. I will commemorate this day. I've got a choice between Gala, an old sweet friend, and the Jazz Apple. I got ... Read more
December must be a month of focus
Friday, November 30, 2012 10 comments I know I need to work hard in December. I have too many skinny people in my life who want to socialize by eating. I have to resist. Write letters. Send cards. Make phone calls. But I absolutely cannot be sucked into "food festivities". ... Read more
Thanksgiving plans
Wednesday, November 21, 2012 14 comments I've cooked a turkey every year since 1973. And this is the first year that I will not. My plan: seared sea scallops. A "big" salad. Asparagus. Some mashed potatoes for my son, who, in spite of nearing old age, still believes that Mashed ... Read more
No Excuses November....
Tuesday, November 20, 2012 9 comments Only ten days left in the month and I've spent "no excuses November" making nothing but excuses. It's true that I am continuing to lose weight modestly and I am working out but my attitude at work and at some of the teams here is nothing but ex... Read more

Please Sir, May I Have Some More?
Thursday, October 25, 2012 21 comments So says Oliver Twist about his appalling little bowl of porridge. And so say I about...Exercise! For me, it's a revolution! In the past 15 months I have slowly but surely and steadily come to resent the days that I don't have much time fo... Read more

Wheat Belly
Thursday, October 18, 2012 18 comments 
I just read the book "Wheat Belly" by William Davis, M.D. I think it has far too many 5 star reviews on amazon.com.
I am not an M.D. nor am I a nutritionist but this... Read more

Happy 199th to Verdi!
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 9 comments 
Verdi, one of Parma's favorite sons, is 199 today. I hope that 2013 will bring me the opportunity to see -- or at least listen to -- many of his operas.

October Goals
Monday, October 01, 2012 10 comments I am going to articulate them. It seems as if I got my program stalled today when, out in traffic, I had a flat tire and spent time calling and waiting for the AAA. The AAA is a great investment but my exercise time was diminished. onwa... Read more « First Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Last Page » |

Yes, this is my favorite way to spend money! It must be, because I keep on doing it.
