As I was browsing in the BYU Bookstore Annex this afternoon, looking at the books and offerings written or recommended by Education Week speakers. There were two, young boys running in and out among the tables an unusual sight, given that children under 14 are not...

Another mod of the diet. Yesterday I did go to the cafeteria for one meal and I ate the huge salad with some protein. But walking past the huge array of desserts—desserts that are included free on the meal plan—was enough to do me in. Instead, however, of eating a...

I will be spending the entire week at BYU attending Education Week, an adult education event I try to attend every year. I'll be staying in a dorm. I'm suspending my day count because I don't want to miss any of the workouts/menus. But I'm still going strong. The...

Because of circumstances beyond my control, I'm suspending my full participation in Live the Life. I'll be out of town for a week and then moving to a new house. I'll still work out the best I can and eat multiple meals with decent carb/protein/fat ratios. But I don't...

Another week come and gone. As usual I did well on the exercise and only good to very good on the food. I forget to eat and then I overeat. Try again next week.

When you decide to Live the Life, you can't eat whatever you want. But as far as the provided menus go, it seems to me you can eat as much as you want. Why do I say that with an eating plan that has very specific proportions? Because when I eat a Live the Life meal,...

My 16-year-old daughter walked by and said, “Mom, looking good. Those white pants you worked out in? Way looser.”
