Manage Your Weight The Scientific Way

Somehow this post got hijacked.  It was a reference to a weight loss book.  You can get it here.

Running Alone Won’t Help You Lose Weight

I don’t get it.
I exercise a lot. 1800 miles of joggling. 90 minutes a week of volleyball. Walking to stores instead of driving. Climbing 3 stories of stairs multiple times a day instead of an elevator. I’m a calorie burning machine.
So, explain to me how it’s possible that when I [...]

Run 50 Miles and Gain Weight?

Imagine this.
You spend 8 hours, 23 minutes and 52 seconds running and juggling your way to joggling world record glory. You take over 80,000 steps and make that many throws and catches. You burn over 7500 calories while taking in only about 2000.
You’re weight change…+3 pounds.
That’s right, you actually GAIN weight by [...]

How much faster will losing weight make you?

There was a great article in the July 2007 edition of Runner’s World that asks the question, what’s your ideal weight? We’ve talked about this subject a few times on the joggler blog including this post about how do you know if you should lose weight and you know you’re overweight when…

This research about running seems a bit obvious but it’s further proof that being a lifelong juggling runner is [...]

A chubby chart to motivate your joggling

Here’s an interesting chart showing where the fattest people in the world live. Guess who’s number one?
Of course these statistics are based on the % of people in the country who have BMI’s greater than 30. We’ve written about the shortcomings of BMI in the past and have seen that is not necessarily [...]

Who wants to eat fast food and still be healthy?

I don’t know about you, but making a healthy lunch everyday is just not part of my lifestyle. It’s so much easier to eat at a fast food joint. Well, if you’re anything like this joggler, you’ll love this list of healthy options at fast food restaurants compiled by the good folks at [...]

You know you are overweight when

Yesterday, it happened. While sitting on the toilet, I heard a loud “CRACK”. Puzzled, I looked around but couldn’t find the source of the noise. When I got up, I knew. The crack came from my toilet seat. It succumbed to me and my fat joggling ass. So [...]

How do you know if you should lose weight?

To run fast, it helps to be light. It’s just a fact that less energy is needed to move less weight. I’m a joggler who weighs in at 195 lbs. That’s not bad at my height (6′1″) but it’s not good if I want to be the fastest marathon joggler in the [...]

The Evening Before Juggling A Marathon

Just before I leave I wanted to get in my last post. I added up the numbers to see how well I did versus my training schedule.
I was following a 17 week schedule that required me to run about 670 miles. However, I ran about 564 miles (500 plus joggling) for a shortfall [...]
