The Random Number Generator (which technically isn’t random since I specify the range of numbers but we call it that to make life feel a little less like a crap shoot) hath spoken. I have to say though that so many of you responded so positively to this book that I wish I had 100 …
As some of you surmised from the comments on yesterday’s post, changes are afoot here at The Great Fitness Experiment and not just of the Jillian Michaels-inspired variety. I wasn’t quite ready to blog about this yet but due to a comment I left on my friend KatieO’s site (she of the fabulous Sister Skinny) …

I’m sorry all, for the first time in 18 months, I can’t blog tonight. See, I picked up a book this afternoon and have not been able to put it down since, save to dye Easter eggs with the kiddos (why oh why do they make those dye tablets to look so much like candy?). …

April’s Great Fitness Experiment is going to be a little… different this month. See, when explaining my new Experiments to people, invariably someone always says to me, “Well my 80-year-old Grandpa smokes a pack a day, eats two slabs of bacon for breakfast, only runs if someone’s chasing him and he’s the healthiest, happiest man …
I suppose “Don’t hold the gun in front of your face” is a good rule to live by. Eat a vegetable with every meal. Drink 2 liters of water a day. Meditate for 15 minutes a day. Don’t eat sugar. Hug your kids. Take 5 minutes to yourself to relax before bed. Get properly fitted …
