The newest science suggests that exercise alone will not make you thin, but staying thin requires exercise. Real exercise. You must work out. In Weighing the Evidence on Exercise, Barry Braun, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts states: “When you look at the results in the National Weight Control Registry, you see over [...]
People are always surprised when I tell them I lost 50 lbs. without exercising. Turns out, as a woman, I probably had the best strategy. Controlling my diet took all of my effort and resolve. Adding on any type of exercise, which I despised, was too much for me. I’d been to Weight Watchers [...]
My son, now nine years old, has been playing in a recreational soccer league for a couple of years. Since we started to play full field with soccer nets, our team has never won a game, although once we had a tie (1-1). Our boys never game up. They keep coming back together to [...] Today is Adoption Blogger Day so I welcome a guest post by my friend Michael Mangum. I had the great honor of writing a recommendation for their adoption.

This week, in need of sustenance, I searched for their location. Perhaps I needed to physically [...]
Last weekend a friend wrote that she wanted to find grant funding for her photo documentary. Since we were fooling around with the Google Wave, I could easily research sites for her and post the links into our live chat. I gave her an assignment. She had to get this cutting-edge project funded. Many artists and [...] A funny thing happened to me in the grocery store. Well really, it’s been happening to me everywhere I go. People keep telling me about hidden pains and injuries. Since my wrist is in a brace to allow my tendon to heal, I am visibly injured. When people ask and find out it will take [...] Rivers roar, split and combine repeatedly “Wait a minute,” the teenage student from Togo interjected, “You mean the United States had a civil war?” I was in the middle of giving a tour of the Gettysburg battlefield to a group of teenagers on a week-long service project.
