A burning question answered

Have you been watching The Weight of the Nation on HBO? I have. It's excellent. The short film posted above (The Quest to Understand the Biology of Weight Loss), parts of which were in the main feature of the documentary, is absolutely mind blowing. It answers the question: Why do so many of us find it difficult, if not impossible to maintain weight loss. 

Thanks to the filmmakers of this extraordinary documentary series, the researchers and practitioners, and especially to all the overweight and obese adults and children who participated. You can watch the entire four part series free online as well as many more in-depth bonus short pieces like the one I've posted. Bravo HBO!

bend in the road

 Never did go to the Asparagus Festival. My husband has had a lot of time off lately and that has caused some tweaks to my fitness habits. Roads trips, house improvement projects, a trip to visit my parents...lots of bends in the road. It's been grand but the unfortunate result has been a lack of blogging. And with a lack of blogging, there has been a lightening of accountability. I gained two pounds! Considering it takes a month of effort to lose a half pound, I've got some work to do!

What have you been up to lately? Staying on the straight and narrow?
