If you get a chance, be sure to check out the two part series that Sean Platt and myself had the chance to share at ProBlogger.  It’s about the how’s and why’s of having a blogging buddy.  Yesterday was part one and today, Darren will be publishing part two.  Now back to our regularly scheduled blogging…

Eat less, live longer?  You can type those words into Google and find all kinds of information on the subject.  But the general consensus seems to be that those who restrict their diet to a more ‘lite’ amount of calories and portion sizes (based on your body size and activity level, of course) may add a few years to their life.  And if nothing else, will probably suffer less health issues during their lifetime.

The Strongest Desire Always Wins

Written by on

Last week I wrote a guest post for Peter over at The Change Blog called:

The Strongest Desire Always Wins

In it I talk about effective ways to break bad habits and I use the example of my struggle with sweets as an example.  I thought it was interesting that even though the ‘sweets’ example was just that, an example, most of the commenters talked about their struggles with sweets as well.  I guess it’s a more wide spread issue than I thought. :-)

I just thought I’d share this with you guys and encourage you to give it a look if interested.
