Admit it, when you either read or saw lembas bread in Lord of the Rings, you really wanted some. There’s several recipes out there for it, but I made up a protein and fiber-rich version for the nerdy-lifter that I am. *Disclaimer* I’m still tweaking the amounts, so this may not be perfect but it’ll at [...]

That’s right. As, I’ve said before, kale is the super star of the vegetable world when it comes to warding off sickness and promoting health. (aids bone growth, pumps up the immune system, contains cancer-defeating compounds, and a plethora of minerals and vitamins that make your body say, “YES PLEASE!”) [...]

What? It’s Thursday! I know, I’m just all over the map with blogging this week. Surgery will do that to ya. Anyway, so there’s numerous articles out there about how to train around injuries (you can always find something to do. No excuses!)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a great time with lots of fabulous food and fantastic family time. My family has a tradition, it’s the tradition of Pie.

*Disclaimer* I made this recipe up. I saw a picture in a magazine but I didn’t get the actual recipe therefore this was an experiment. Please, adjust to your tastes! I’ve expounded before why cauliflower is awesome. Here’s another recipe that I’ve tinkered with (and Steve thought was great, and that’s good enough for me). Here’s a great [...]

Yes, I’m writing about poop. Two reasons: 1. the mature part of me finds poop fascinating and an important indicator of overall health, especially of the GI tract. Being a “health and fitness” person, I take my poop seriously. 2. I’m actually an 8-year old masquerading in a 25-year old body and I find poop unwaveringly hilarious. [...]
