One habit I’ve taken up of late is to review the latest trends in the fitness world. Not that I’m a particularly trendy guy. I’m a CPA, which is as far from swanky and fashionable as professions can get. But I like to see what people are doing on the off chance that I mightContinue reading “Exercise #19 – Strange Workouts People Do In The Suburbs”

Bad Habits #18 – 24 Other People’s Bad Habits, A Blatantly Clickbaity Listicle
So, I’ve been writing this blog off and on for roughly two and a half years. Or is it three and a half years? Sometimes I lose track because that year where we all hid under the bed feels like it doesn’t count. You know the one I mean. The one dominated by the All-PowerfulContinue reading “Bad Habits #18 – 24 Other People’s Bad Habits, A Blatantly Clickbaity Listicle”
Good Habits #18 – Why Cavemen Were Rarely Obese
I’ve occasionally researched the various diet fads out there, including the Keto diet (whose acolytes I regularly pan, just to be irritating), the Carnivore diet (who get the same mistreatment as the Keto types, for the same reason), and the Vegan diet (a diet that is a total non-starter for me). My own diet isContinue reading “Good Habits #18 – Why Cavemen Were Rarely Obese”
Bad Habits #17 – We’re Already In a Zombie Apocalypse, And It’s Making Us Fatter
When I was growing up, I was the guy who fell asleep in the back of the class. This started as early as thirteen years old or so. And it wasn’t the result of narcolepsy or any other sleep condition. It was initially because I would often stay up late reading and would go toContinue reading “Bad Habits #17 – We’re Already In a Zombie Apocalypse, And It’s Making Us Fatter”
Good Habits #17 – Clean Food For People Who Don’t Like To Bathe
Ever go into a restaurant and see that the guy seated at the table next to you has more body hair than all the people at your table combined? And that’s just on his face and under his arms? The type of place where everyone seems to have a dog under the table, tattoos inContinue reading “Good Habits #17 – Clean Food For People Who Don’t Like To Bathe”
Exercise #17 – I Will Be Your Beast of Burden
When I got married, it was a happy time for both my wife and me. But I didn’t realize that she was happy for another reason. My ego was telling me that she’d found the man of her dreams, her soulmate. I complete her, or whatever. But the real truth is that she was happyContinue reading “Exercise #17 – I Will Be Your Beast of Burden”
How Game of Thrones Made Me Start Losing Weight
Like many people, my wife and I were fond of Game of Thrones. Well, I was fond of it. My wife … was full fangirl. The “searching the internet and watching all of the YouTube videos describing the history of Westeros” type of fangirl. The “if Kit Harrington stopped by and proposed marriage, she wouldContinue reading “How Game of Thrones Made Me Start Losing Weight”
Exercise #16 – Work Hard, Not Smart
Recently, I commented on how I’ve lost a little ground in my “Weight Loss Journey.” And yes, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. That insufferable, trendy phrase probably emerged from the irritating part of the Internet where people look way happier than they are in real life (Instagram), or that partContinue reading “Exercise #16 – Work Hard, Not Smart”
Bad Habits #14 – Return of The Jelly (Belly)
So I’ve noticed that I put a little weight back on recently. I can feel the jealous people at the office giving me gloating glances when my back is turned. I know they snicker that my miraculous weight loss, which made all of them feel inadequate, is apparently reversing. Or at least I would ifContinue reading “Bad Habits #14 – Return of The Jelly (Belly)”
Good Habits #15 – Cubans Are Healthy, Especially When Libred
Ever since I found my way down to the state once known as the craziest (and now the freest) state in the nation (Florida), I’ve been exposed to a type of food that is ubiquitous in Florida, but not so common in my native Georgia. A type of food that Desi Arnaz might have stolenContinue reading “Good Habits #15 – Cubans Are Healthy, Especially When Libred”
