Reflections From Montreal…
Last weekend my girlfriend and I were in Montreal for the annual SiteSell company dinner. Of course, we took this as an opportunity to spend an extra couple of days in one of my favorite cities, doing a little sight-seeing, and taking a nice break from the daily grind. Of course, what I do here is never far from my mind – even if I am taking a break – so it’s not surprising that a visit to our hotel’s...
Mannatech Settles With Texas AG
Hot off the presses… DALLAS – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today reached an agreement that resolves the state’s enforcement actions against Coppell-based Mannatech Inc. and its former CEO, Samuel L. Caster. In 2007, the state charged both defendants with orchestrating an unlawful marketing scheme that exaggerated their products’ health benefits. Under the settlement, Mannatech will pay $4 million in restitution to Texas...
Bench Day – Update VII
Normally we do this on Saturday, but there was a powerlifting tournament at the gym yesterday. The bench we typically use is close to a “traffic lane” – and I figured it’d be distracting to try and bench with a lot of people walking back and forth. Pity though – as it turned out, it probably would have been better if we’d done it yesterday. We went out to dinner last night to celebrate Number One...
Sketchy Additives? Or Sketchy Reporting?
Although my bio on the “About Us” page doesn’t mention it directly, I have an M.S. degree in Food Science from the University of California (Davis). Most people I talk to assume “Food Science” = “nutrition” – but they couldn’t be more wrong…it’s about food technology. As I once described it to a mechanic (who was confused by the concept), Food Science teaches you...
(W)hooping It Up
Most of y’all know I’m a desk jockey – I’m here at my computer most of the day, every day. Sure, I work out – hard – on a regular basis, but I don’t believe in spending hours at the gym. I go there to get strong, not burn calories… thus, when my performance begins to deteriorate, it’s time to hang it up, go home and eat. All told, I don’t spend more than an hour/day...
The Rests are Part of the Music
A lot of people struggle with starting/maintaining an exercise habit, so it’s not surprising that folks with the opposite problem – exercise addicts (EAs) – get a lot of positive attention. They’re soooo disciplined, after all. Everyone should be just like them…right? Not really. Always striving to feel the “burn” for 2 – 3 hours/day, 6 – 7 days/week, can actually be...
