Does Exercise Have to be Boring?

Today, I went to the Historical Downtown district.  I keep my snail mail box there.  They also have a great library and some cool restaurants, that I will talk about in other posts.  The thing is, I don’t have a car and I like to walk the 1.35 miles to go there.  It is not [...]


Procrastination – Health update

Are you procrastinating on your diet? I have a better option for you. Read today’s post and find out.


Do not let anyone tell you

what to do, not even me. I was watching Dr Phil yesterday, Tuesday, because the topic was weight, something that interests me. They had advocates on both sides of the issue. I was a little disapointed that most of the “experts” talking about healthy weight were so “in your face” about it. In fact, one [...]


Biggest Looser as a Metaphor for Life

I have always being a fan of the NBC show The Biggest Looser. Every year, I watch in awe at the accomplishments of the contestants. As an observer, I have always separated Biggest Looser contestants in two distinct categories: the selfless and the selfish. The selfless are those who put everyone else first. They are [...]

Healthy Tuesday – How much do you exercise?

Do you exercise?  What is your excuse? For the last three weeks I have been very busy.  As a consequence, my real workouts have suffered.  I know that when I do my squats again today, my legs are going to hate me.  That does not mean that I did NO exercise. Instead of driving to [...]


Your health is not a matter of fashion

On Tuesdays, I usually talk about health and on Wednesdays, about fashion.  At least, that is the schedule that I created.  Yesterday was such a long day, that I did not have a chance to post anything.  It so happens that on Monday I read about a person that was speaking on the issue of [...]


Healthy exercise or evil torture?

Why do you exercise?  Do you want to “loose” weight?  Do you want to be healthy?  Does it matter?  Do you care? I have two secrets for you.  The first one is that the more you care about keeping your body healthy, the less time you are going to spend at the doctor’s office.  I [...]
