A Gentle Nudge?
Monday, February 4th 2008
If we all spent as much time reading nutrition labels as experts tell us to, supermarkets would have to start installing more cushy chairs and coffee bars than Barnes & Noble. Which may be what inspired two gods of healthy eating Harvard's legendary nutrition guru, Walter Willett, MD, and Mollie Katzen, author of the groundbreaking Moosewood cookbook to name names in their latest book, "Eat, Drink, and Weigh Less".
The book lists brands for the foods that make gr...
Super Duper

(The only thing I find remotely interesting about the Super Bowl is the possibility of seeing the Budweiser clydesdales. This time of year I use this picture as my desktop. It's from the old commercial where the horses are standing around waiting for the zebra to review a play.)
I drove home from Ohio yesterday rather than risk the chance of running into icy road conditions on Friday. Seems it was good move; trees and road signs along 90 east of Buffalo were still covered with froz...
Good News? Bad News?

This is the first time I'll have a computer with me on the trip so I'll be able to log most if not all of what I eat. And since I'll be able to play a dvd, I'm taking my first brand-spankin'-new copy of Leslie Sansone's "3 Mile Weight Loss Walk" so maybe I'll finally see what that's all about.
All of the snow seems to be staying north of us where they need it for the Tug...
To Weigh or Not to Weigh
Sunday, January 27th 2008
I see people continue to struggle with the question of when/how often to get on the scales. I, for one, have been weighing myself every morning for several months now, since my rate of weight loss slowed. I follow the advice of "You on a Diet" and think in terms of a range rather than one number and I've found that I'm learning a lot about my body and how it works by weighing every morning.
