Great Visualization of Obesity Data

January 22, 2012

I don’t see how you can view this short video illustrating the obesity epidemic in the U.S. and not want to change something.

Welcome 2008

January 2, 2008

December 4, 2007

Midweek Review

October 17, 2007

As I suspected, this has been a tough week.  Went to my parents for a party Sunday night and did not do well on the eating front.  I had a 6:00am flight Monday morning and I did lift weights before that, so that was good.  But then after a half-day meeting we had dinner and [...]
