It’s kind of like throwing a pebble in the ocean…I suppose

October 5, 2011

I was playing around with some numbers for other projects I’m working on, and decided to see how only one small change could affect my weight (in theory). For example, a 12 oz. can of Coke is 140 calories. Now, let’s say I have only one can a day. If I’m not doing enough activity [...]

The 10-Day juice fast: The End

August 18, 2011

Yesterday, Cindy and I finished our 10-day juice fast, and now we’re heading back into eating solid foods. We broke the fast with what started out as a simple cabbage and broth but morphed into a full-blown (and extremely satisfying) vegetable soup. Tonight, we had veggie pizza. Losing 10 lbs. as a result of being [...]

Halfway through the 10-Day juice fast

August 12, 2011

Today is Day 5 of 10 of our juice fast, and it seems to be going much smoother for me than some of the other detox/cleansing/reboot diets we’ve tried. Everything I’ve seen or read from other people doing a juice fast, they’ve all said that the first few days are the worst, and I’d say [...]

In 5 days Cindy and I are starting a 10-day juice fast

August 2, 2011

A couple of weeks ago, Cindy and I watched a documentary on Netflix called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. It’s about an Australian guy bloke named Joe Cross who is overweight, and suffers from an  autoimmune disorder called chronic urticaria. Sick and tired of being in such lousy shape, he comes to the United States [...]

I’ve Just Spent One Full Week On The 4-Hour Body Program

March 21, 2011

About a month ago, I picked up a copy of The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss. I’ve been off the better-eating bandwagon since about November 2010. Between the holidays, kidney stones (and with it, a lack of any kind of exercise), birthday dinners, Mom’s comfort foods, good-bye meals with friends, and eating out way too [...]

Water

February 25, 2009

I had to go to Sam’s to pick up some kind of hyper-super eye drops that I’m supposed to use the day before my Lasik. I was a little thirsty and had twenty minutes to kill, so I went to the food area. This is what happened after I sat down with my drink: A [...]

Fat Tuesday on Ash Wednesday

February 21, 2007

Yesterday was Mardi Gras and we were planning on having our yearly meal of Everything Jambalaya, but one of our friends was busy working on a grant, which was due today at 5 PM, so we decided to have it a day late. (Should we call today Fat Ash Wednesday? Or does that just sound [...]

Swarm of WASPs

August 15, 2006

Last Sunday, Cindy and I found ourselves in the middle of a swarm of WASPs. We had decided to have brunch at a little place in town that serves up some pretty tasty food, but when we showed up at 10:00 AM, the place was closed. Curse those dirty, lyin’ fuckers and their crappy-ass lyin’ [...]

The Psychology of Dinner Plates

June 14, 2006

Let me be the first here to say that, yes, size matters. A couple of weeks ago I was on a drive from Tulsa to Houston. The Trailblazer I was driving had XM Radio, and during Air America’s commercial breaks, there was a health tip (brought to you by Maxim…or Men’s Health or somebody) that [...]

Nut Goodie

May 3, 2006

Found this at a small drug store in Rawlins, Wyoming. I realize that I was pretty tired when we arrived in Rawlins, so it might just be me, but I’m still filing this under Things That Sound Dirty. It really isn’t just me, is it?
