  • Ok... Third and final for week one: 11, 15, 9, 9, 33 (!) Last set was the result of intense verbal motivation from my wife... It's incredible how far one can go when prodded :-)

  • Ok, here's my first set (from an original try of 15): 10 12 7 7 12 I've tried the hundred pushups app for iPhone in the past, but it's nowhere near as fun as trying it in a crowd.

  • Yes!! Me too. The rule for me is: RESPECT THE CHOCOLATE. It's a wonderful thing, but it's dangerous as it's packed with calories (as you well know). It shouldn't be about the amount, it's about the pleasure of it... Smell it; feel it; taste it. Slowly. Give it a chance and you'll find that a small piece of good chocolate…

I'm trying to lose about 14 pounds as I prepare for the Toronto marathon, coming up later this year! I've run a few marathons (NY, Chicago, Amsterdam) several years ago and I really…
