Lessons from the Couch

On Thursday, I was outside doing my usual walk and run when my shoe came untied. I put my foot up on a car bumper to retie my shoe and felt a little pull on my back. I finished my walk/run. As the day went on, my back started to bother me more and...

The Importance of Healthy Goals

A Gallup poll on obesity, desired body weight, and changing perceptions over the years caught my eye the other day. The study, reported by Fox News, indicated that the average American weighs about 20 pounds more than they did 20 years ago. This is plenty obvious to me by just looking around the mall,...

Morning Snacks May Not Be Such a Great Idea

I am a proponent of eating when you are hungry and also recommend planning your meals in advance. Intuitive eating and some solid planning really can enhance each other. When I lost weight, I snacked when I felt the need, but did not generally have a morning snack. Apparently that may have helped me...

With the days getting colder and the little fact that I cooked a 20 pound turkey over Thanksgiving weekend, I needed to find a way to use up the extra turkey. After two days of sandwiches, I had just enough turkey to make a hearty but simple turkey and rice soup. Ingredients: 2 cups...

What is the Real Purpose of Thanksgiving for You

As I lost weight and learned to stop thinking about food every single minute of the day, I also learned something really important about the holiday season. I learned that the success of the holiday isn’t about what food is on the table, but rather who is sitting at the table and what kind...

Exercise is one of the mainstays of my weight maintenance. Soon I will hit 14 years of weight maintenance, and during those 14 years, there have been very few days that I have no exercised. I didn’t exercise during the first trimesters of my pregnancies, took a few weeks off when I broke my...

Do You Have a Junk Food Loving Friend or Family Member

Do you have a junk food junkie living with you, or a close friend who you spend a lot of time with whose primary form of entertainment is eating junk? Fortunately for me, I do not have a junk food loving family member but I have talked with a lot of people who do! I’ve had...

I Trotted but Very Slowly

In my heart I really want to be a runner, but even though I finished the fabulous C25k program several months ago, I’ve struggled with foot problems. I got two new pairs of shoes, both Nikes, and one time after I ran for 35 minutes in one of the pairs, my right foot hurt...

The skies were light blue, and the sun was brilliant. Tall, green grass waved back and forth in the hands of a gentle wind. Few tires crunched down on a road bathed in light, and the little traffic heading west barely disturbed the area around it. We were home free. Adrenaline continued to fuel...

James Calder could not admit defeat. In a head-to-head competition with any piece of electronic equipment, there was no such phrase as 'I give up'. It was a bitter bloody battle to the end, at which point the particular concoction of knobs, integrated circuit boards and LEDs was tamed, brought to heel, and compelled to perform...

Anthony Bing had worked at Omnitest Inc. for years. The entire company was engaged in a huge test program of the future interstellar spaceship IS–1. Every morning, Bing typed his personal code into the computer and then his mark TP–7/AB would appear on the screen. Decoded, that meant the Test Program on the seventh...
