The Twinkie Diet
In order to prove that fewer calories, not eating healthier foods, is the key to weight loss, nutrition professor Mark Haub went on a low-calorie diet of mostly Twinkies, Doritos, and Oreos. He shed 27 pounds in 2 months, dropped his bad cholesterol by 20%, and increased his good cholesterol by 20%. Source
I might have to try this for a month or so.

Couch to 5K
I’ve decided it’s time to reapply myself and get back on the running/cycling trail. So, over the next seven weeks, I’ll be working up to a 5K. No 5K in particular, but just getting to the point where I can do the whole 3.1 miles in one run.
And then?
And then I have a plan, but as the last time I really (over-)applied myself to running, the mind was far more willing than the body and, well, middle-aged injuries take a bit longer to heal than those of our youth.
So, one thing at a time – I’ll see how it goes as I gradually ease myself back into this particular athletic pursuit.
