The Iguana Diaries

This morning was a comedy of errors, but I eventually got my workout in and all is good with the world.  Tim Shevlin wants me to do my cardio immediately when I wake up. Like, wake up, chug some water, and get after it within ten minutes. This differs wildly from my usual routine, which […]

Seasons bring rituals, whether it’s Football Sundays at a local sports bar, or simply pulling out all the fishing, skiing, or hunting equipment for the first trip of the season. This looks different for everyone, depending on who you are, what you like, and where you live. For some, the tradition might be making soup […]

Well, I’m just back from a two week business trip that took me to Los Angeles for a week for meetings and other ISOOSI work stuff, then Vegas for a week for an SEO conference called PubCon. All in all, it was a good trip. I ate much better than I ever have on a […]

Imagine, for a moment, that you’re laying prone on your side, while a complete stranger inserts a tube into your butt. Now imagine that stranger flipping a switch that pushes water into your butt through that tube… And once you’re full, reversing the engines and sucking all the water out, along with whatever’s been trapped […]

It’s been a rough couple months. We wrapped up The Get Healthy Summit in June, and as soon as I wasn’t talking about raw foods and natural health 5 times a week, I could feel myself slipping into old ways of thinking. I was still eating green and raw, but a hectic work schedule and […]

Well, I did it. I completed my first 5k run. Actually, lets call it a walk, with a little bit of jogging thrown in. At no point did I run. So maybe it was a walk/jog… But whatever. But I did it! The event we picked for my first time was something called the “Color […]

Eating out and eating healthy at the same time is a challenging proposition. In fact, it’s proving damn near impossible for me to find a menu with healthy, raw choices on it. Take Carrabbas, for instance. We never ate there all that much, but when we did eat out, we  liked places like Roy’s and  […]

I get asked all the time to recommend healthy natural weight loss supplements. But it’s not happening. Why? Well, the obvious reason is because I’m not a doctor, and I don’t want to get my ass sued off when someone takes my advice and doesn’t get the results they want. But believe it or not, […]

Sorry I haven’t been around blogging much lately. I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire… I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake… A terrible flood. Locusts! […]

Sitting here on my porch with a hot tea this morning, staring at the full moon and reflecting. Reflecting on the fact that at one time, not all that long ago, I weighed 330 pounds. What was it like? Well… I was tired all the time, for starters. I couldn’t sleep more than 2-3 hours […]
