The Biggest Loser – Day 1

A bunch of guys at the office have started a weight loss competition.  Mostly because if we don’t, we’ll probably all have heart attacks by the end of the year. We all put in $100 and it will last 4 months. The one who loses the greatest percentage of weight wins. If you fail [...]

I have some good news and some bad news

I LOVE pasta!!! In fact I’m eating some now.  I’d eat it every day if I could but it’s biggest drawback is that it’s 100% carbs. Well here’s the good news, I just saw a commercial for new pasta called Barilla Plus. It’s got quite a bit of protein and [...]

Coming soon to a state near you

Gay marriage in Massachusetts. Gay marriage in California. It’s happening everywhere so get used to it. Soon it will be in every state. My stance is probably slightly different than most. I do not take any sort of moral or religious stance on this issue. I am [...]
