In Part 1 of my Metabolic Efficiency Test (MET) review, I gave some background on the test and how it is used. In this post, I’m going to tell you why I wanted to have this test done so bad that I asked for it as a birthday present (yes, I’m a geek). I will […]
Metabolic Efficiency Test – Part I
Last week I went to Fitness RX here in Louisville to have a Metabolic Efficiency Test (MET) done. I’ve been curious about having this test done for some time now. Before I get into why I wanted to have a MET done and tell you about the test procedure and my results, I wanted to […]
ACV
Every night, just before I head upstairs for the night, I take two big swigs of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar). The main reason I do this is because my wife loves the smell of vinegar on my breath as I crawl into bed next to her. There are actually many (more than I can list) […]

What I Learned From Cutting Out Sugar
Today is day 25 of my no sugar journey…it’s also the day that I will eat sugar. After all, it’s Thanksgiving and I can’t imagine the day passing without a piece of pumpkin pie or some sweet potato casserole. It started on a whim. I just decided on November 3rd to cut all sugar (natural […]
No Sugar November
Now that Halloween is over and we are still a little over three weeks from Thanksgiving and the start of the “holidays”, I’m issuing a challenge to myself and my blog readers – eliminate sugar from your diet from now until Thanksgiving! To some people it might sound simple, after all it’s only 24 days […]
