Fast Reset – Fasting for Weight Loss or Biological Reset
It’s Sunday Funday circa 300,000 years ago, our homo-sapien ancestors all gather around the stone table to decide where they’d like to go for dinner on this family evening. As usual the kids are being difficult – “We had berries and leaves last week” – causing mom to remind them to “live off their fat” […]
The Label Games
How come we don’t have any video games based off the complex, deliciously dangerous aisles of today’s supermarket? Each row is like starting a new level, entering a land of deception and nutritional propaganda. The game would come fully loaded with excess marketing, bright colors, animated characters, dodging spills and shopping-cart road rage. Fighting off […]
What Your Cheat Meal Says About You
“Hey Cheater!” Yeah I’m talking to you. I’m talking to me too. We all cheat, in some form or another, it’s just human nature. When assigned a task we naturally try to solve it in the simplest, most time-efficient way, and sometimes that entails breaking a few rules. But can you cheat if your […]
“Have A Day” – Field Guide
You remember Rugrats, right? Who doesn’t? Tommy, Phil, Lil and Chuckie roaming around the backyard, adventure after adventure, fending off Angelica from spoiling the party. So many adventures and no supervision, now how’d that always happen? Three words – Grandpa Lou Pickles, this dude was the master of starting a sentence and being out-cold before […]
To Be Clean, You Gotta Get Dirty
As part of my necessary son duties, dinner was in my hands, just as it should be on Mothers day. Back home to honor the lady who raised two mischievous boys while working full time, the least I could do was stir up a meal. I set the pot a boil, got the cutting board […]
Why you SHOULD Sweat your Assets
6pm – And it felt like the sun was just clocking in on this blistering Late-July evening, the crowd began to swell, a few thousand gathered for an annual charity run at Long Islands Jones Beach. 5K (or 3.2 miles) was the task at foot (Hah! Get it, Ya Get it). It’s one of those […]
The Wall is Never to High to Climb
What a day it was, a cool 92° on a moist July evening. With every step another drop of that homemade, custom, salty water traveled down the side of my cheek to its final destination, the New York City pavement. I would have wiped it off but my hands were busy at the moment, […]
Yeah, I’ll Take Some Health Over Here
This past week I went somewhere I haven’t been in a while, some call it Americas favorite pastime, I call it a game of catch. My lacrosse bias is clearly not shy, but I have to admit it was pretty cool going to the Ol’ ballgame, not necessarily because of the game itself but more […]
All Aboard – Next Stop, Your Mouth
Remember sitting high, eye level with that magical spoon of mushy goodness, hearing “Chooo Chooo…Open up, Here comes the Train”. Remember embracing the journey with unmeasurable content or sealing those lips in pure horrid. I don’t, but I can guarantee it happened, so many times in fact, that it’s probably better off that I forgot. […]
YOUR HEALTH = YOUR BUSINESS
What are you thinking about right now? Wondering if this read is going to be a load of garbage, or an invigorating nine minutes that change your views of the next 50 years? I bet your not thinking about breathing, hearing, or digesting that apple you just ate (I’m giving you the benefit of the […]
The “Palms Down” Rule
Final minute, the offense settles and begins whipping the ball around the perimeter, our heads followed, as if we were cats tracking a rubber mouse being whirled around a mechanical wheel. We’re up by one but we all know that can change in the blink of an eye. My six teammates and I bark commands, […]
Practice – One of the Very First Investments You’ll Make
I remember back in the day watching one of the GOAT TV shows of 90’s Nick, the crew was at basketball practice and -as expected- it wasn’t typical by any means. The Coach/Tuckers Dad released a forceful bark “PASS THE BALL TO TUCKER!”, that was the play, and if you haven’t heard… “practice makes perfect”. […]
