I’m doing it. I’ve debated a lot about “telling” the blog. Because even though I’m doing the homeopathic HCG diet, it’s still a very controversial extremely low-calorie one. The even more controversial one uses injections of a pregnancy hormone. A trusted advisor suggested I do this homeopathic version of the HCG diet, and I’m nothing…

Ask for what you want
I’m in the airport at a restaurant I actually really like: Denver Chophouse. they offer buffalo burgers and brew their own beer, what else do I need? I wanted a salad and the burg, so I said to the waiter: “I have a weird request.” he interrupts me: “we get weird requests all the time,…

Sports Psych Update
I withdrew from the Fittest Games. My back/SI joint stopped hurting. I did all the right things (treatment, standing, icing, yoga), but I also worked through the conflict. Naysayers can say it was physical, believers can say it was mental. It was probably a combination of both. Like most things. There is no black and…
