My workouts revolve around P90X, but in the late afternoon on Sunday, I go for a good run. I paused at my turn around point because the view was so extraordinary with the Sandia Mountains standing majestically to the East. I was thinking of the words to say to express […]
There have always been rumors spread about food. Remember the one about the Kentucky Fried rat or Mikey, the kid from the Life cereal commercials, who allegedly expired after washing down his Pop Rocks with a Coca-Cola? These, like so many, turned out to be apocryphal, but now in the […]
Two stories on World News Tonight Saturday evening grabbed my attention. One was about the collapsed economy in Zimbabwe under the Presidency, since 1980, of Robert Mugabe. The other story was about how much money drug companies spend on marketing and how much of that money is directed to doctors. […]

Walmart and Whole Foods are battling it out for supremacy in the organic food business, Walmart having the advantage in name recognition, size and infrastructure and Whole Foods having the advantage of having a better name and being the world’s leading retailer of organic products.

This week, we are going to focus on “breaking the fast”, which is the true meaning of the word breakfast. Most of us have gone 6 – 8 hours or more without eating, so our bodies need fuel to get us going. Thus, the importance of this first meal of […]
My life has revolved around sports and fitness for over 45 years. In many ways, that has put blinders on me in the ways that I experience the world. I am narrow minded in terms of what I eat and in terms of how I take care of my body, […]
“It’s so surreal,” said Earl Broughfman. “I feel like I may wake up in the recliner where I saw my first Power 90 ® infomercial.” But it’s no dream. Broughfman, along with Kimberly Barnett, are now $250,000 richer thanks to their steadfast dedication to lifestyle transformation. Last week at a […]

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and I hope that it is a happy day for all of you. This week’s articles continue the theme of the “lecture”, What’s This World Coming To? and challenge all of us to work together to make this world a better place. Time Management Tips […]
The older I get, the more that things bother me and the more opinionated I am about the things that bother me. Since Friday, when I found out that one of the biggest youth running clubs in Albuquerque had “downsized”, it has bothered me (and will continue to bother me). […]
Please don’t think that this is some cheap take off on the movie, the Passion of the Christ, one of the most powerful movies that I have ever seen. It is actually the only way that I could think of to describe to you why I have been so remiss […]
My productivity is at an all-time high and that means that I am able to branch out in a number of directions at the same time. One of the drawbacks, however, is that I have to keep track of all of the projects that I am working on and remember […]
My primary reason for my presence on the Internet has always been to provide information on fitness, health and nutrition and to provide access to the means to optimize your wellbeing. Over, time, my sites have grown faster than my ability to properly maintain them and now that I have […]
Imagine how you would feel if you taught an online class and you were on your way to the grocery late in the afternoon and you realized that you hadn’t posted the Class Lecture or the Class Articles that are always posted on Monday. Then imagine how you would feel […]
In between channels (that would be something on Animal Planet or Disney Channel), I saw part of the story of the evacuation of Dunkirk. In one of Winston Churchill’s speeches, he said, “Never, never, never give up” and when he asked the British people to help evacuate British and French […]
Before I start this blog, I have to say that the title for this theme came from Sojourner’s Magazine and I did not think up the title myself. Nor am I using that title for monetary gain. It is what I was thinking this week when the latter part of […]
Hope, optimism and health. Turn it into an acronym, repeat three times fast and you have “Hoh, hoh, hoh”. I love finding out the origins of famous phrases…! We’ve been getting some good news lately – wow, we can shoot at and hit a satellite traveling at 17,000 miles an […]
The power of hope and optimism, or the lack thereof, has a powerful impact on our health. News stories can make or break our days. Seeing hope in a time of crisis can turn around our life outlook. Being optimistic will carry us through even the toughest situations. This week’s […]
At other times in my life, the reason that I haven’t blogged since Wednesday would be attributed to poor health. It is not the case this time. In fact, I have been quite busy and have accomplished a lot in terms of my mission to spread the gospel of fitness. […]
Do you have a vision of your life or your body that the light of hope is quickly going out on? My light of hope revolves around my ability to run, which has become so challenging that I thought that the melted wax under the wick of the candle of […]
I have a stress problem. I guess that I have been in denial for a long time, because now that I have given up stress cold turkey, I realize how good I can feel and how badly I felt. Whether you have a stress problem or not, this week’s articles […]
If what I am reading is true, I may not be around a lot longer. My long term goal is to live to 105, but unless I can repulse the attack of the killer stress, then it could get ugly! If you adhere to the “everything happens for a reason” […]
