What Dr. Freedhoff Sez…
…About this new ad from the vegan group, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM): Dr. Freedhoff is NOT amused… The message I get from it is along the lines of obese people are oafish, clumsy, thoughtless, boobs, and that “fat” is “sickening“. Shame on you PCRM, both for your misinformation on veganism and obesity, as well as for your perpetuation of hateful weight bias, but thank you...
Back in the Gym!!!
Today was the day I’ve been waiting for: my first day back in the gym! Both Ryan (Number One Son and training partner) and I have been out since the 18th – when we started our intensive packing and cleaning. We signed up at our new gym as soon as we had the upstairs (principal living areas) set up, but had to wait a few more days to start working out. The “mild” thniffoos I developed during the week hardened...
Think of Bug Parts as “All Natural” Ingredients
Years ago, I read a pithy quote attributed to the great 20th century geneticist J.B.S. Haldane: As the story goes, Haldane was in the company of a group of theologians, one of whom asked what his (Haldane’s) study of creation had taught him about the Creator.

Israel Outlaws Too-Skinny Models
CNN has the story: Wow – those runway models look anything BUT glamourous to these eyes. They may be wearing elegant designer outfits, but there’s no hiding the bony chests and hollow eyes. Although BMI isn’t an ideal measure, the Israeli law still seems like a good one, to me! (Thanks to Kyle for the video...
Johanna Quaas is Amazing!
Johanna Quaas is a competitive gymnast who hails from Halle, Saxony. That’s not the amazing part… The amazing part is that she’s 86 years old… and can perform moves that would put most younger people to shame! Check out her performance at the recent 2012 Cottbus Gymnastics World Cup in Germany: If I start working on it now, I might be as flexible as she is in 30 years! Some background on this remarkable athlete...
I’m Baaaaack…
Feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been online – I’ve been totally in “move mode” for the last two+ weeks. Unlike our other moves, this one wasn’t bankrolled by the hubby’s company… so, while we hired a moving company to do the actual moving, we did our own packing. It turned out to be a pretty grueling process: at the end of the day, I just didn’t feel like doing...
