What is Your Biggest Health/Fitness Vice?

July 12, 2008

This is the closest I’ve gotten to the start of a meme, where Fit36 started this meme by tagging Andrew who tagged me. Fit36′s vices are eating out at lunch and tequila. Andrews exercise vice had been having his exercise plans fizzle out (but he is past that now as evidenced by now being a [...]

Use the Chipotle Calorie Calculator For a Dose of Reality

January 18, 2008

I’ve mentioned numerous times before how a part of my current diet strategy is taking my old standard meals that I am used to eating and optimizing them to find the perfect portion sizes that still satisfy me.  See Even More Paring Down at Noodles & Company as an example.

Going To Bed Hungry

January 11, 2008

I’m going to bed hungry tonight and I feel good about that.  No, I haven’t suddenly gone off my rocker and am starving myself, don’t worry.  But I am slowly but surely trying to remind my body that it doesn’t need to be full all the time.  Of course take all of this with a [...]
