Share We are moving from late summer into early fall. The mornings are getting nippy. We close the windows at night sometimes. That means time to look forward to a new season. I love enjoying seasonal food and drink. It provides variety as well as a sense of movement, a sense that the future is [...]

Whether someone is doing P90X, P90, or Insanity, it’s clear that getting a spelled-out nutrition plan in your hands and eating well are not at all the same thing. I suspect that’s even more true [...]

Did 5 miles, trying to make it a good tempo run while also not falling flat on my face. Got my heart rate up around 163-170 bpm. Slower pace than roads but [...]

Phrases like “it’s a breakthrough” and “it’s a meal replacement” just [...]

Move-related things are getting a little hectic, to the point where I’m pretty sure it will not be feasible to start another round of P90X next week – that’s when the moving truck is showing up. I’m not [...]

I just didn’t need to eat as much as my hunger told me to be satisfied. Good to know. I learned something about myself today. (I also learned how [...]

What does “cleansing your body” even mean? And living off some strange liquid concoction like the Master Cleanse sounds downright dangerous to me. So why am I doing a cleanse? I’m not cleanse [...]
