“Some of the best evidence for the role of exercise in maintaining weight loss comes from the National Weight Control Registry, an online group of over ten thousand men and women who have lost at least thirty pounds and kept it off for at least a year. These folks defy the cynical view that meaningful, […]
The pups back in July. Remember these guys? The pups after replanting and spending an ungodly number of days in 100+ degree heat. I didn’t think they would survive. But they did. The Boss says if I retire I need a hobby. Voila! New hobby!
After four weeks on the diet, the animals showed characteristics of metabolic syndrome, such as weight gain, insulin resistance, and glucose intolerance. And their microbiomes had changed dramatically, with the amount of segmented filamentous bacteria — common in the gut microbiota of rodents, fish, and chickens — falling sharply and other bacteria increasing in abundance. […]
Yes, I’m messing with the spice mix. So far I like the changes. Changes from the first version Chickpea and Sweet Potato Stew are in bold. In this revision I used dried chickpeas instead of canned. The night before rinse one cup of dried chickpeas with 2-3 changes of water. Then add enough fresh water to […]
Alongside nutrition and sleep, exercise is one of the three pillars of our health. Before coming up with a realistic and sustainable plan, let’s see what types of exercise are most recommended and how much we should try to do each day or each week.

It looks good. That’s about what I had done at my salon two weeks ago. No appointments for April. I think I may need to buy a clippers. Do you have any recommendation on hair clippers?
Did you do it outside? I keep thinking it would make an awful mess doing it over the bathroom sink.
Sorry no recommendations on clippers. I borrowed my son’s clipper and all I know is that it is of professional quality. I did my buzz outside because there’s just too many tiny short hairs that will go EVERYWHERE. I’m hoping this buzz cut lasts long enough so that the barbers reopen or I can get another buzz with borrowed equipment.
I think that’s what I’ll do, clip outside. Did you bring a mirror with you, or just do it by feel?
I will go search Amazon for professional quality hair clippers.
No mirror. The spots you’ll miss will be on the back side. Tips from Dr. Lee – 1) take your time. Overall it will take 10-15 minutes. 2) move the clipper slowly rather than quickly. 3) use both side to side and front to back motions. On my first attempt I missed a few spots all on the back side!

What do you think of this statement?
I would agree but also think we will never get a true accurate number of COVID-19 fatalities. Cause of death will get listed as “pneumonia” or sudden cardiac death (MI).
Very true. And then there are also the deaths of people who couldn’t get emergent care because the priority was treating patients with COVID-19. And then longer-term deaths due to people unable to receive their ongoing routine care on time because the medical system is overwhelmed.
