After my post on Wednesday, I got a few questions/responses about the Moshi Moshi handset, and thought it would be helpful to post about it. Let’s be honest: we all have a cell phone…even my grandmother has one! And if you’re anything like me, chances are it has developed into a borderline necessity. Hands up …
Blogging at the airport might be the next big thing. For one thing, I know my wallet prefers this method of killing time (as opposed to duty free purchases which I probably don’t need). Other than free WiFi & Pinkberry in the Dubai airport, I thought I’d reflect on some of the things I am …
As I was traveling, I took last week off from Body For Life. Not sure what my gym options or plans would be in Dubai, fitting in workouts was the last I wanted to worry about. As much as I enjoy the BFL workouts, playing it by ear was definitely a refreshing change. However I’m …
Other than customer feedback forms, I love filling in surveys. Don’t tell me you don’t remember the good ol’ days of AOL where the ‘cool’ thing was to forward it to your entire buddy list. As you guys know plenty about what I eat and about the workouts I do, I thought I’d mix it …

As I’ve discussed the fitness pillar of Body for life in terms of weight training and cardio, I thought I’d touch upon the nutrition angle of it. The BFL eating plan promotes eating 5-6 small meals, containing one portion of lean protein and another portion of wholegrain carbohydrates in order to ‘speed up fat loss and maintain …
After years of trying to find alternatives for “unhealthy” cravings, I’ve finally realized that there is only one way to nip them in the bud: go for the real deal, even if it’s a small portion. Obviously it’s probably not wise to do so every time a craving kicks in, but for the most part: …
Some bizarre stories have been popping up online over the last few weeks: Story 1: Seventeen-year-old Stacey Irvine has been following a chicken nugget diet for the last 15 years. Since her mom brought them home from McDonald’s when she was two, she has been hooked, and has eating nothing but nuggets since. Unsurprisingly, Stacey …
After my post last week on Body for Life workouts, I got a comment about whether my workouts are shorter: Overall, I am in the gym more days of the week, but I spend less time in the gym per session. Before BFL, I used to spend at least 50 minutes in the gym, because …
