Breaking Down in Fred Meyer

May 29, 2013

On our way back into Seattle from a nice, relaxing visit with the in-laws (no, really), my wife and I decided to stop at Fred Meyer for some much-needed household supplies. As Lindy was busy filling the basket with useful sundries, I foolishly thought, “Hey, we’re going to a film festival in a few days. [...]

What the Fork?

April 29, 2013

Occasionally, I like to take a break from regular blogging and do some product reviews.  And by product reviews, I mean eviscerate the inventors of anything in the Skymall Magazine and mock those who buy their products mercilessly. There is simply so much shit out there that we just don’t need, and we keep coming up [...]

Redefining Fit: Toning Arms And Legs

February 19, 2013

I recently had a friend ask how she could tone her arms and legs without losing her curves. And I swear, I heard angels singing. Because yay(!) she loves her curves, which is music to my ears (and most men’s, too). Curves are beautiful, womanly…sexy. She loves her hourglass figure, and that is sexy. Even still she would [...]

Redefining Fit: It’s What’s Inside Your Body That Counts

February 5, 2013

I once had a friend tell me that she gained weight while training for a marathon. At the time, I didn’t believe her. How can you run that much and gain weight? How can you be that in shape and not look it? Well, now I know. Because I myself have experienced it. Over the course of [...]

Redefining Fit

January 23, 2013

Fit.  Take a moment and think about what that word means to you. What comes to mind? A certain look? A certain number? A certain body type? Yourself? Sadly, that last one, for a lot of us, is definitely not what comes to mind. It certainly hasn’t been for me, even though I am an exercise [...]

Why I Gym

December 20, 2012

It started in my 20s.  It started when losing weight was just a treadmill away, when happy hours and parties weren’t detrimental to having pants that fit, when all the calories from the night before could be forgiven by a 30-minute elliptical session. But it has turned into so much more. A way of life, [...]
