Re: Taming the Scale: Why do we get emotional about our weight?

Love the article. Focusing on the tape measure vs the scale has been one of the biggest changes in my fitness life. It has made my weekly 'weigh in' much more relaxing. If I see the tape measure move, no matter how much the scale budged, I'm happy.

What is the serving size for those macros? I assume its not 78g of protein for the whole dish, right?

Re: Why “I Don’t Have Time” is a Big Fat Lie

I like this approach, but its equally good in the opposite direction. Acknowledging your priorities can give you the freedom to say, 'I need to study for a final, so its ok that studying is my priority tonight and I can run tomorrow" Rather than feeling guility for missing your workout, you can say that it wasn't your priority and feel good that you focused on the most important thing in front of you at that moment.

I'm a big fan of walking. Two years ago I started my 70lb weight loss journey by just getting out and walking during my 30 minute lunch breaks. That was the catalyst that spurred me onward to running and eating right. I can't say enough good things about walking!

7 months later I found this post. Very helpful list. I feel like I'm stuck with all the same ol' medium tempo sway in your seats songs, so thanks for pulling this all together.

Re: How to Not Suck at Running

Steve! this was excellent timing for me as well. I've been running since the beginning of the summer, but just started Mark Sisson's 30 day Paleo challenge. He doesn't seem to be a big proponent of long endurance cardio stuff, so I've wondered if running and paleo were compatible. Also great tips on how to keep paleo before and after runs. You rock!

JB, its possible to dig out of a hole like that. My wife and I paid off $120K of student loans in 4 years because we made it our priority. You can do it man!

That is really interesting.. My wife and I are being called to start up a house church.. Out of those 4 authors you listed, what books would you recommend by them?

I've been really interested by the Chinese home church model where there is no central church, just thousands and thousands of people meeting in each others home each week. Its beautiful and organic.. I wonder if anything like that could take root here in the US?

Great Post. I would think that people should actually protest more at the Democrat Convention. After all, we know what we're getting with the current batch of Republicans, however, 2 years ago the Democrats came to power in congress by leading us to believe they will get us out of this war and they've failed to deliver in any sort of way.

My wife and I committed to a diet similar to this last summer when we grew our own 'victory garden' and we have loved it. We probably only eat meat 2 or 3 times a week now and we have no regrets. I'd encourage any one to do this! Its easier than you think.
