Most challenging aspect of losing in your 30s?
Mine is the stress from wearing so many hats. I'm expected to juggle working, parenting, housework, yardwork, and being a husband. Added to that accelerated college courses to get my B.S. and eventually MBA and get out of my crappy job. Added to THAT is the fact that I'm not a young buck anymore and got injured at work.…

Challenge! Forgot my lunch!
One of two situations: I forgot my lunch, or I planned to go out somewhere healthy for lunch and was swamped at work. My option at that point is buy some overpriced crap at what we call our lunch counter. I want a better option. I have access to a little12" locker, and I was thinking of stashing some emergency food in…

Cool to do list: habitrpg.com
I'm a list guy. I could probably get more done if I stopped organizing my lists! As a gamer in a past life, I'm pretty obsessed with gamification. I found a pretty cool to do list: habitrpg.com. I'm just starting with it, but it pretty much hits the mark with keeping me motivated. The developers just revamped the iOS app,…

Nutritionist vs. Dietitian
I see a lot of folks talking about nutritionists, and not a whole lot of talk about dietitians. A dietitian is a licensed, regulated term in the US. Eatright.org, the website of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says this about the requirements. A nutritionist, on the other hand, can fill out a piece of paper and get…

Never going back to bottled pesto again!
O...M...G... so good. This is a recipe forum, so I'll include the recipe, but I really just wanted to show the picture. I'm lucky, my grocery store sells potted basil, so I get it home and give it some TLC before murdering it for it's leaves. So green! Sorry it's in tupperware, it's actually going in tomorrow's dinner-if…

Getting started...again
2014. The year will live in infamy. I brought home three pairs of size 38 pants today. For years I was size 36. I did real well with diet and exercise a couple years ago, and flirted with 34, but lost my momentum and went back to a solid 36. Today I could no longer deny my increasing waist. What a crappy wake up call.…

New beginning, new software
Sigh...here I sit, the stereotypical dieter. Nearly two years ago I decided to get healthy and lose weight. I dropped over 40 lbs, from 230 to just under 190. I started running, and eventually made my goal of running a 5K in under 29 minutes. Then it all fell apart. I went from a 3rd shift job to a 1st shift job, where…
