Who? You’ll have to keep reading. 😉 I worked up the courage to step on the scale yesterday morning. I had gained 3 pounds. As I said the other day, under “normal circumstances” this would be okay. No big deal. But with the competition coming up it is a big deal. My body fat is […]

That’s how I justified my choices last week. Under normal circumstances that would perfectly appropriate excuse to enjoy a bit of controlled splurging. But trying to get small and tight enough where I can walk on stage in 4 weeks wearing a sparkly velvet bikini without looking like I had jello implants put in my […]

A few years ago my friend made something like this. Since then, I’ve been playing around trying get the ingredients in just the right proportions to fit my taste and it has become, by far, my favorite dressing. So much that I brought it in a cooler with me on vacation. It is a tasty […]

Someone once told me, “Ovaltine is good for you.  It’s full of vitamins.  I give it to my kids every night before bed.”   We sure do live in a culture that is confused about nutrition to say the least.  On one had we have major companies marketing products like Ovlatine as “a health food” […]

It’s pms week and that means I want to eat my body weight in nachos. The crazy train arrived Saturday night while I was teaching “Sunday” school during the nighttime service at church. I had been a little “crave-ish” but not too bad. It was going well until snack time. I passed out the graham […]

This is not a recipe I made up. It’s more of an “idea” that I’ve heard buff fitness people make. The few times I’ve been eating my protein pudding outside of my home people have asked me what I’m eating. When I tell them they almost always say, “Oh that’s a good idea.” Which is […]

I don’t have time (and wouldn’t want to if I did) to do an hour of cardio a day and I guessing you would rather not either. But I believe you can accomplish more in 20 minutes than an hour if you push yourself. Here is a fun short treadmill workout that makes my legs […]

Even it is a little cliche. “It’s not how many times you get knocked down. It’s how many times you get up.” Or as my mom once told me, “You take a licken’ and keep on ticken’.” I don’t know who first said it but I like it. A lot. As an “aspiring”  actor/filmmaker/writer I’ve […]

This weekend, I’m officially eight weeks out from the show and I’m feeling really great. Nope, my life is not perfect and everything is not going exactly the way I want it, but despite it all, I feel better than ever! I think most of it has to do with getting regular exercise and eating […]

I love to make lists. All sorts of lists. Anytime I want to procrastinate, I procrastinate by writing of list of things I won’t get done because I’ll procrastinate again by making another list. I even have a file folder in my filing cabinet labeled “Lists.” So my website wouldn’t be complete without a few […]
