Weight lifting Olypmics 2016
Best moment so far was watching 33 year old Oscar Figueroa win Gold and then retiring. At 62kg (137lbs) he cleaned and jerked 176kg (388lbs) to finish.

Allowed to be armed on Campus
With all the crazy crap going on in the US, one of the agendas being brought to attention is the discussion of college students being able to be armed on campus. Idaho does it now. My opinion: I don't think I'd feel okay with my DD attending a college where this is allowed. I understand the "why", but I still wouldn't feel…

Newbies: You can't exercise a specific area to lose body fat
Yeah yeah, the "gurus" of DVD's and other fitness programs will blurt out stuff like "doing Hip Hop abs will slim down your waistline", etc., but the truth is that you can't spot reduce any area of the body by directly exercising it. Even with a calorie deficit. The body loses fat systematically, meaning if you lose 1%,…

Shoes you hated to wear
Back in the day (when Nike, Reebok weren't popular yet), Adidas (black with red stripes), Pumas (blue suede with white stripe) and Converse (white or black) were the rave of shoes. And I had Kmart "TRAX". Why did I hate them? Because it seemed that every kid in America knew that style of shoe and shopping at Kmart for…

What stops someone from "letting it go"?
I'm not talking about major issues, but about minor issues that seem to disrupt someone's life. For example, I have a client who is miffed at one of her friends because after having her kitchen redone completely, the friend stated that it was still too small to function. An opinion, but apparently that opinion sets her off…

Almost got smacked by a phone (another Pokemon Go story)
So this morning (6:30 am) I'm out running on the pavement around the school field (more than 1/4 mile around) and see a few kids (between 11-16 years old) walking around the track. They are walking slow, so I figured out at this point they are playing Pokemon Go. As I round the corner and start to pass them on the left,…
