People are so confused about how many calories to eat in a fat-loss program. I don't blame them. Ridiculously low intakes are promoted everywhere they look—magazines, the latest "diet" books, The Biggest Loser, you name it. I have an online friend who I just discovered has been consuming 800 to 900 calories a day for fat [...] You know, I'm not sure I was counting the days in my 50-day challenge correctly before. But I don't have the patience to go back and change the titles of the previous posts . . . Thursday of last week was interesting. I wiped out on my bicycle (managed to drive my front tire into a [...] Had a great Thanksgiving, and today it was back to business. I worked legs and abs at the gym. There's a big chunk of leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator, and I found it didn't tempt me at all. It's liberating to feel that I'm in control and enjoying choosing the right things to eat.

I hadn’t thought about them in forever, but after seeing their names, I spent some time googling for images. Quite [...] MSNBC.com’s fitness section recently ran an article that caught my eye by referring to the Presidential Physical Fitness Award of bygone days. I well remember my disappointment at not earning a badge. The problem? My softball throw. It was terrible. I scored very well on the strength measures–things like sit-ups, push-ups, and being able to [...] One of the things I forget about starting over in the gym: how fatigued I feel. I don’t mean fatigued while in the weight room. There I tend to feel energized. It’s how tired I feel a couple of hours later. Of course, that passes as one’s fitness level increases, and it doesn’t take long [...] A recent Reuters story covers a scientific literature review proving what we already know: that movement keeps us young(er). Aerobic exercise helps turn back biological clock NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Maintaining aerobic fitness through middle age and beyond could delay the aging process by more than a decade and prolong independent living, according to a new [...] Here’s an interesting story from the Associated Press that makes me wonder what the teens in question are eating at home.
