Remember those Schoolhouse Rocks! cartoons, the ones they showed back in the 70s and into the early 80s?  The one that stuck with me dealt with the number three, multiples of three, and how the number seems to pop up a lot in life.  This week, “three” has personal significance because it’s the number of [...]

What’s this?  A mid-week post?  It is!  It is indeed!
I’m afraid I’ve left the tremendous number of readers I have here (all three of you) a little in the lurch by not posting anything but Friday weigh-in blogs.  Well, this is not a weigh-in post, and it’s not Friday, so rejoice!  After all, I’m only [...]

So sure, I know it’s been a couple days since I posted.  I’ve been trying to make sure I get something worthwhile up here at least four days a week, and this week is already looking like like a stretch.  But that won’t keep me from living up to the goal – I still have [...]

That’s right.  One pound.
All I dropped this week was one pound.  Part of me really thinks I should be disappointed, but mostly I’m just relieved there was no net gain.  After last weekend’s major holiday shindigs (that’s right, two of ‘em), and really not paying much attention to what I ate, there was a stark [...]

Bratwurst.  Burgers.  Potato salad.  Chips.  Apple cake.  Ice cream.  Pink junk.  Fruit Salad.
I ate way too much this weekend.  Not all at the same time, of course, but spread out from Friday until last night.
But it’s Monday, and I’m back to what I should be eating.  That and some exercise, and maybe I’ll manage to [...]

So… a couple days later, I’m up to about six minutes, maybe close to six and a half.  I think tomorrow I’m going to start using the timer so I know just how many minutes I’m actually doing the Shovelglove routine.  I’ve been using the clock on the cable box, while watching a little television, [...]

Recently, I’ve been following quite a few links from other blogs,. Ducking through one, I found myself in a rather interesting neighborhood of the web – one where I felt simultaneously comfortable and awkward. I had found links to “fat” sites.
Now, many of you know that the first part of this site’s name [...]

Two days ago I wrote this:
If you’ve been reading up to this point, you may have seen me mention chocolate-covered bacon.  My first response was pure shock – I mean, we’re talking about chocolate and bacon here – but it settled in very quickly that, yes, we were talking about chocolate and bacon here.  Now, [...]

Okay… I’m not going to make this site about food, but I wanted to make sure I followed up on the last post, after reading this one.  I thought Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheddar Burgers were the end all and be all of food to clog up your pipes and throw you into a state of [...]

We all know that donuts are sugary and fattening and sweet and full of all sorts of goodness, and we all love a good cheeseburger, don’t we?  (Okay, you vegetarians and vegans notwithstanding.)  But there are some extremes to which mankind should simply not go, or perhaps they are just extremes to which we haven’t [...]
