Its Berry Pickin Time! When Chuck Norris Tells You to Do Something. Way back in January of this year, I read this Chuck Norris article. Chuck Norris is never wrong. Ever.) Sitting all day was starting to get to me. My left leg would hurt and my knee would stiffen up so that it would take me a while to straighten up. One thing Chuck suggested was to swap out the traditional desk for a standing one. Well, when Chuck Norris tells you to do something. Every once in a while, you just want to SIT! You can't fa...

My 5K Challenge | Technical Pajamas
http://www.my5kchallenge.com/post/2012/07/12/Technical-Pajamas.aspx
When Chuck Norris Tells You to Do Something. I haven't run since the Firecracker 5K on July 4. There are various reasons (read excuses) for this. It was my vacation week. It was my son's birthday. I did a lot of yard work. I didn't get enough sleep. I needed to motivate myself, so I tried something new. I slept in my running outfit. You could call it "technical pajamas". My daughter looked at me like I had two heads, thinking I was going to go on a run right before bed! So, I got up, had a cup of coffee ...

My 5K Challenge | Fasting
http://www.my5kchallenge.com/post/2012/07/13/Fasting.aspx
Fasting is a spiritual discipline, not a health related activity. I do not suggest that you go on a fast to lose weight. That is counter productive. Fasting causes your body to shut down or slow down certain systems, since it has no idea when the next meal is coming. On a mental level, it teaches you to deal with your hunger. Have you ever been driving home and been so hungry that you decide to hit the drive through first? Don't you have (healthier) food at home? Another level of fasting is just abstaini...

Fat Free Turkey Gravy Recipe. I just made some awesome turkey gravy. Yes, it's a day late, but part of the key was refrigerating the leftover turkey drippings. There were two reasons for this. One was so that the fat was easily removed. The other was so that the flour would mix in well with the broth. 3 Cups turkey broth from the roast turkey, refrigerated. 1/3 cup all purpose flour. 1/2 cup Egg Beaters (or equivalent). Season salt and/or pepper to taste. 75e1654e-7038-462f-9163-a7131d2a0a59 0 .0. 3 ounc...

http://www.my5kchallenge.com//page/5K-Challenge-The-App.aspx
5K Challenge - The App. As part of My 5K Challenge, I am writing a companion app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I suppose it will work with the iPad, but who is running with one of those? Train for about thirty minutes a day, three days a week. In nine weeks, you'll be ready for your first 5K. Each workout is time or distance based in metric or english, including voice prompts by "Serena". Share your progress on social media. Follow along with our developer's weight loss blog. Works with any music app.

My 5K Challenge | Portion Control Mythbusting!
http://www.my5kchallenge.com/post/2012/06/18/Portion-Control-Mythbusting!.aspx
Mayor Bloomberg: Size Doesnt Matter! One common problem that many people have when trying to lose weight is portion control. This is especially true when dining out. If the restaurant can't (or doesn't) tell you exactly how much food you are eating how do you account for it? In Weight Watchers, we track everything via a points system, but you could be counting calories, or just servings. It is difficult to just look at a meal and know how much food is there. A cup represents the size of your fist. It was...
