Yesterday we considered the fact that we are fast becoming a society of statues. A curious species who seem to have our collective asses permanently attached to a chair. Or preferably, a couch. We discovered that within a few years many of us will have identical movement patterns and daily activity levels to that of the Oak tree. Yep, it appears that many of us have become fat (seated) spectators in the game of life. Heavy sigh.
Fat sigh.
Moving towards a Solution
So as I’m an Exercise Scientist and Personal Development Bloke, I thought it might be timely and appropriate for me to throw out one simple suggestion which might be a practical and realistic strategy to offset a little of that collective inactivity. A simple way to burn a bunch more cals, lose some weight and fat, improve our health, increase our fitness and get us in a better place emotionally and psychologically without even having to leave our lounge room (although we could do it anywhere). No use talking about problems unless we’re serious about finding a solution. Otherwise we’re just complaining.
Note that what I am about to outline is not a global answer to obesity (of course) or a one-program-fits-all solution for the fat asses of the world. No, it’s my way of showing how simple and effective exercising for weight-loss can be when we find a way, rather than find an excuse. While the moaning masses might be problem-focused, you and I are gonna be solution-focused. So there.
The following example is exactly that; an example of how practical and uncomplicated we can make the process of increasing our daily energy expenditure.
Some Interesting Facts:
1. The average Aussie watches about three hours of television per day – mostly in the evening. The figures are similar in the U.K. and actually a little higher in the States (according to the research I have).
2. Every hour of commercial prime-time television is programmed with about fifteen minutes of advertisements. Forty five minutes of show, fifteen minutes of ads – with the ads typically being broken up into five three(ish) minutes blocks.
3. An individual who regularly watches TV from 7.30pm – 10.30pm (for example) will be subjected to approximately forty five minutes of mind-numbing, ass-expanding ads every night.
The Suggestion
Use those three minute blocks to change your body and life.
A Question
What would happen over the course of a year if our average TV watcher got off the couch and did some simple, easy-to-do step-ups (stepping up and down on a box, step, platform) every time the ads were on? The answer is quite staggering.
Some Hypotheticals
The following hypothetical scenarios are based on the assumption that the only change in the subject’s lifestyle (diet, incidental and occupational activity) is the inclusion of the fifteen three-minute bouts of stepping. The step height would be either eight or twelve inches (20 or 30cm). The estimated annual weight loss was calculated by dividing the total calories expended for the year (via stepping) by 3,500. See yesterdays article for clarification on the significance of the 3,500 figure.
Weight of subject: 150 lbs (68 kgs)
Daily stepping commitment: 15 x 3 mins
Additional energy expended per day (8 inch box): 460 cals
Additional energy expended per day (12 inch box): 552 cals
Additional energy expended per year (8 inch box): 167,900 cals
Additional energy expended per year (12 inch box): 201,480 cals
Potential weight loss for the year (8 inch box):
Potential weight loss for the year (12 inch box):
Weight of subject: 200 lbs (90.7 kgs)
Daily stepping commitment: 15 x 3 mins
Additional energy expended per day (8 inch box): 614 cals
Additional energy expended per day (12 inch box): 737 cals
Additional energy expended per year (8 inch box): 224,110 cals
Additional energy expended per year (12 inch box): 269,005 cals
Potential weight loss for the year (8 inch box):
Potential weight loss for the year (12 inch box):
Weight of subject: 250 lbs (113.4 kgs)
Daily stepping commitment: 15 x 3 mins
Additional energy expended per day (8 inch box): 767 cals
Additional energy expended per day (12 inch box): 921 cals
Additional energy expended per year (8 inch box): 279,995 cals
Additional energy expended per year (12 inch box): 336,165 cals
Potential weight loss for the year (8 inch box):
Potential weight loss for the year (12 inch box): 96 lbs (43.5 kgs)
Wow!
Freaky huh? Now, of course I’m not suggesting that we would, should or could (well, I guess we could if we really wanted to) step for forty five minutes every day for the next year, but what I am suggesting is that when we remove the emotion and the bullshit excuses, increasing our daily energy expenditure (thereby losing weight and fat) really ain’t that complex. Unless of course we find a way to make it so. And no, what I’ve written above is not (in any way) intended to be a personal exercise prescription for any individual.
Who said disclaimer?
Some Final Thoughts
Naturally the heavier you are the more energy you will expend (cals you will burn) per unit of time, so simply adjust the numbers up or down by using the above weights and figures as a guide. Of course you could replace the step-ups with a number of alternatives and use your three minute intervals any way you choose. Activities such as stair walking, skipping, treadmill and stationary bike could all be viable options. There are a few other variables which will have some impact on precisely on how much energy you expend over your three minutes (like technique and intensity) but overall, the above figures will give you a good idea of what’s possible.I chose the old-fashioned step-up because it’s cost effective, practical, convenient, requires no equipment (okay a box), no skill and is suitable for most fitness levels. It’s also pretty handy at targeting the ass, hips and legs – per chance you should know somebody whose lower body is in need of some attention!
Okay, now I’d like you to do a little something for me.
I would like your feedback on what type of articles you prefer me to write (health, fitness, motivational, creative, philosophical, thought-provoking, ass-kicking, humorous) and why. I know there will be a varied response to this one question but I would like to know why my readers come here, what type of content the majority prefer and how I can do what I do better. At the moment I am in the process of assessing how I do things here on the site – what needs to change, what should stay the same and what I should do differently to create a better product and to be more effective as a writer and educator.
As usual, love your thoughts and feedback on the above article too.
If (for example) ninety five percent of you tell me that you don’t want me writing health/fitness articles, then that’s something I would take notice of and address. Any specific, relevant and constructive feedback on this matter would be welcomed.
However… I probably won’t be changing my periodically-offensive, grammatically incorrect, conversational writing style any time soon. Sorry.
Thanks for your help.

Hey Big Fella
I like it that you cover a wide range of topics and I always find them interesting.
I think the variation you offer is one of your main strengths…..keep up the great work!!
Dasher
Dear Craig,
I like the way you explore the psychological stuff. I think it is all so relevant for so many of us.
I also love articles like the one today. I have no idea how you think of this stuff but it is always so interesting.
Thank you
Keep it just the way it is please, Craig. An interesting mix of everything !
{{HUGS}} Tina
I love the ass kicking stuff! The blunter the better!! Don’t massage my delicate ego! I need the motivational kick up the butt every day!!
Hi Craig,
I think the reason so many people come to this site is that you offer a wide variety. Remember you can’t please all the people all the time. But I think you must be pretty darn close
Hi Craig,
My day starts with reading this site. Whether its the comments from yesterday or a new article (Not Blog) today.
I love the thought provoking, psycho stuff. Anything that challenges the way i think. I would say most people who read your site are health concious individuals looking to live the best life they can.
Your words challenge us to change the way we have seen,judged or acted in situations in the past.Whether this is physical, emotional or intellectual.The mix is great.
Every day there is something that is thought provoking or inspiring from you or the Bloggers.
My only suggestion would be, that i would love to hear more stories from the Bloggers around the world. Maybe, share the challenges we all face each day. There are some of us dealing with all sorts of things like disease, loneliness or even teenage kids. I am sure there is lots we can share.The support of like minded people could make a huge difference in all our lives.
Thanks for inspiring me to be the best i can be Craig.
Lots of love & hugs,
Shelley
P.s. More cartoons would be good too Johnnie XXXX
Dear Craig,
I what you are doing is spot-on. You mix it up and that is why you reach so many people. You have shown everybody what you say and do works. Just look at what you have done for myself and family – The Bulte’s.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you.
Craig,
Just keep on truckin’ one day I’ll actually make some changes.
But today – you came VERY close to an idea I’ve had for a while. What if the *only TV* we had was connected to a bicycle that we had to pedal to create the electricity to run the it? I saw this once years ago being done to run a washing machine by some cluey people up near Nimbin.
Cheers
Julie
Hi Craig,
Love your work – all of it! Especially the ass-kicking articles, they’re always great. I do like to hear your opinion on fitness / health too, cos there’s so much bogus info out there.
Today’s article was great, I can think of a few people who should be reading it!
Cheers
Sus
Thanks Dash – noted.
Manhug
You’re welcome Amber…
Thanks Tina ( )
Hi Amycat – ass kicking there shall be..
Hi Narnie –
“Remember you can’t please all the people all the time.”
Oh… I know!
Interesting thoughts Shelley – thanks for your feedback…
I’ll include a cartoon just for you very soon..
( )
You’re very welcome Mum Bulte..
You guys rock. ( )
Hey Julie – great idea. There’s a business in that concept!
( )
Thanks Sus…

I am not sure how I got to your site, divine intervention, but I enjoy it. Sometimes I wonder what is going on but I enjoy the butt kicking articles the best. I know I am not completly honest with myself about what I need to be doing to be healthier, so go ahead, point it out, maybe it will sink in.
Thanks
Hi Craig.
As others have mentioned, I really appreciate the kick up the ass. The psychological stuff is also great.
I’d be really keen to see more “how to” with the thought-provoking articles. Today’s article was a great example of that from a health point of view – some of the internal thinking changes are harder to know where / how to start.
With regards to style – you absolutely shouldn’t change. I love the way you write – it’s something I can instantly relate to. Yours is the only regular e-mail I get that I really look forward to receiving!
Thank you!!!!!
Alicia
Hi Candy – get honest!
Cheers.. ( )
Hi Alicia.
Just for you, I won’t change my style – I’ll keep being offensive and blunt!

Hi Craig
I originally started reading your blogs when a friend (who has done brilliantly with weightloss on account of her daughter giving her a gym membership for her birthday) told me about it.
I really like your exercise thoughts, and yes, I AM going to give the stairs a shot during the ad breaks. What the hell, it’s not going to hurt, is it! I often get up during the breaks anyway.
I also like your arse-kicking thoughts. They make me laugh, but better than that, they make me think, and motivation is all about using the best weapon we have: our brains.
I like it that you have a mix of stuff in your blog. I never know what I’m going to get when I open up your emails, it’s like a lucky dip. Some days, I just think “meh” but other days I’m going “yeah, baby!” As you say, you can’t please all the people all the time, and I just know there are people who think “meh” when I’m going “yeah baby” and vice versa, so I reckon keep it up. I don’t want to miss those “yeah baby” moments.
My ONE COMPLAINT is your constant use of the word “ass” when you really mean “arse”. It disturbs me greatly, Craig, and I know I’ve emailed you about this before. I have to correct my kids’ graffiti. An ass is a long-eared equine and a stupid/stubborn person. An arse is the big thing you sit on. Okay, people sit on asses as well, but not nearly as often. I do think you need to address this very serious problem.
Oh, and there is no apostrophe in the pronoun “its”. Think of this: if you can replace “it’s” with “it is” then you need the apostrophe there.
That was a brief message from my alter-ego, Super Apostrophe.
Thanks for your blogs and thoughts Craig. I do appreciate them.
Hi Craig,
Here comes an essay. I love your site (you know that) and even if you write an article that I don’t relate to immediately I usually still get something out of it. Sometimes it’s a small gem of wisdom that can keep me going for months. Eg. make it non negotiable – that finally sunk in and is now working for me.
Sometimes I think that you are preaching to the converted a bit but maybe not – I wonder how relevant all the fat lazy pig style articles are to your readers. It seems to me that most of the readers are already on some journey and rather than a life changing 180 degree change, they need a push or a diversion or a tangent like the 28 day challenge. Maybe it’s just me.
I have a good friend I train and eat with and we are both facing the same issue right now – we know what to do generically and are seeing great results. We have different goals – I want to lose body fat and inches and gain definition. She is a 170cm 61kg scrawny chick who wants to bulk up and gain muscle. We are bombarded with information from different people – trainers, gym members, friends, anyone with an opinion (i’ts a big like being a parent of a difficult child) and everyone’s opinion is slightly different. Do I eat before I train? Or after? Should I eat more protein? Less? How good are supplements? I realise that this is very personal and that there is no one size fits all solution, but at the moment I am after more science!
(maybe we should just book in and get a consultation – whaddya reckon).
love
Miss Jojo
Hi featherfour
yeah, I know about the ass thing – I use the American slang spelling.. don’t know why -just do. I’ll consider changing it…
Thanks for the ‘its’ reminder – I know but I forget sometimes and my proof reader (Johnnie) spent four years in grade six so what hope do I have?
Thanks! ( )
Just adding to the already long list of those who appreciate the variety of your blogs. This is definitely the attraction – you never know what you are going to get! sometimes the blogs / articles are quite timely. At other times you can go back and find the one you need at that point!
I too enjoy the ass-kicking blogs as much as the psychological stuff. The most effective ones are those that describe behaviours you can get stuck into!
Oh, and of course….. maintain that humour!
Karen
P.S. On the sitting on the backside issue – I am an office worker corporate chic and some days I sit at my desk all day, only get up to go to meetings and sit down again, I then get on the train and sit on the train and when I finally get home and watch my one hour of TV a night I sit on the couch (drape myself on it actually).
At work I have moved my rubbish and recycling so I have to get up every time I use it. And I worked out my printer is 100 steps from my desk so when I print something I pick it up from the printer straight away. These little things help.
Your reminder to do something when watching the ads is very timely. All I need to do is get up every ad break and do something. Another gem. thanks
miss jojo xx
I really like the ass-kicking stuff too. Too many people seem to pussy-foot around the real issues and “tickle our ears” with what they think we want to hear. It’s not all that effective.
I LOVE this article that looks at ways to incorporate exercise into day to day stuff. One thing I have found with healthier living is that the first few steps are the hardest. Once you start to move more and eat healthier, it becomes easier to move more and eat healthier. But getting started can be SO HARD. Even when you’ve been there before and KNOW that those few steps are hard but that it’ll get easier if you just push through them.
I LOVE the calculations you’ve added here. It’s a real eye opener. Now do one for “if you eat a Mars Bar per day, here’s how much weight you’ll gain”. On second thoughts….maybe I don’t want to know.
(And no, I DON’T eat a Mars Bar per day but I DO eat too much chocolate! 
).
Perhaps you should write “Lightening, put down the chocolate or I’m going to kick your butt into the middle of next week”. LOL.
Now I know this question wasn’t an invitation for us to all tell you how great you are (or was it???
) but I’ll tell you anyway – you’re amazing!!! I love what you write. 
Hi missjojo.. hmm, yeah I still have plenty of readers who need the fat, lazy pig articles (as you call them) … they tell me… BUT I’m hearing you with the sciencey stuff.
A consultation may be the go…
Thanks for your feedback ( )
LIGHTENING!!!
STOP EATING CHOCOLATE!
( )
Craig, I mostly enjoy everything I read here, and like others, enjoy that variety, and your ability to do that every week.
Sometimes I don’t like what you say-
but I know you are less of a touchy feely guy than you are an enthusiast and an arse- kicker- and well, I think that’s OK.
We need people like you to remind us it’s NOT ok to treat our bodies like garbage bins.
A bit of psychology, a bit of practical advice and a bit of personal comment- it’s a good mix.
Keep up the good work, and keep learning (as I know you are)- we are all benefiting by it!
Thanks for your feedback Briar..
Hi Craig!
Loved this article. Last week I realised how much time I waste watching tv, so I went out and bought a bike trainer so I could burn some calories while watching the news.
One of the things I love most about your articles is not knowing what I’m going to learn from you each day. I love that you touch on all subject matter – it’s the variation that I enjoy the most.
Looking forward to RYL workshop! 3 more sleeps!!
() Have a great day
Triple G
I think its a matter of a persons needs at the time they are reading the blog. They may read a post today and think nothing of it, down the track they may read it again and it will be inspiring / life changing, touching etc.
You write what you want to write when you want to write it and it will be what it will be. People may think a post is crap because is doesnt relate to them that day, but they may think its an awesome post when something in their life has changed and it applies to them down the track.
If its not broke no need to fix (change / improve) it.

It’s the left field stuff that I like best
the walking on grass, dude on skateboard, coaching the groom to be down nepean highway. BRILLIANT!!!!
Yes missjoj, there are still people who need the fat, lazy pig stuff … like me! Please keep writing those Craig!
Sus
Hi Craig
I just love the thought provoking, ass kicking stuff. It’s what makes me keep coming back – that and your periodically offensive unique way with words – just can’t get enough of your straight to the point, no bullshit reality!!! Bring it on….
Thanks, J9
Hey Craig…. I think you rock!! I’m grateful for each article. Sometimes its not for me & sometimes they are. I’m amazed that you can write so often on the variety of topics you cover….DAILY.. it is daily isnt it?? I too log in every morning to be inspired by you or your readers.
Back to todays topic… I used to have one of those mini trampolines & would jog on it for the whole of the news… found my 30. I tend to be a channel surfer during ad breaks..or I get up to do dishes or get chocolate or go to the toilet or or or……
Today I’ve already been to the gym & was flogged by my PT…. so I will sit down for the rest of the day & enjoy my squishy butt… hee hee

More video posts and more business stuff.
See you on Sunday.
I am on the plane bright and early from the sunny Sunshine Coast tomorrow – You better turn the weather on Harper!!!
Can’t wait!
Hi Craig. As a motivational speaker, you also are a motivational writer. I like your stuff because it does just that – motivates me. I am interested in health and not just physically – but emotionally, mentally, socially,spiritually too. So bring it on Boy-o!
High C
As always this is a great post. I don’t have a weight problem myself, but have the utmost admiration for people who can help themselves to a healthier lifestyle. It would take courage, determination, persistence and more!
There is an article in our local paper today (The Advocate) about a young man who has turned his life around and given up his playstation and take aways because he didn’t want to hit 100kgs at 14…reminds me of someone.
Here is the address if anyone would like to take a look.
http:/nwtasmania.yourguide.com.au/news/local/news/general/fit-club-boy-sheds-30kg/792821.aspx
I don’t know how to do a link thingy sorry
I agree there is a great mix in your posts and if you hadn’t asked for feedback, I would say change absolutely nothing!! It’s all great! But personally I do have a bit of a leaning toward the motivational, thought-provoking stuff – yes, stuff that kicks our ass (or arse) is so effective and you do do it in a way that delivers,but also with a bit of humour, wit and a touch of kindness (you do!) – keep that goin’ !!
I particularly enjoy (and who doesn’t??) posts that remind us of our unlimited potential, our value etc..- they give me more motivation than anything else. But then again I like to be informed too – so anything on exercise & health is also educative & motivating, as well. So maybe you have got the mix right !!
I think we’re all pretty happy little readers and on the journey of living our best life (with your help) ( ) ( )
PS Your writing is style is unreal – glad you won’t change that.
Monica
Craig,
I heard this idea from you on Gold 104 and have since been putting it in to practice. I wear a pedometer all day and try to better each days steps. During the commercial breaks…don’t have a box so I actually march on the spot. My kids laugh at me but hey who cares right lol.
As to what sort of stuff I like well I love reading all the stuff you do, it is though provoking and most of the time applicable to me. I also love the way you write it so definitely do not change that. (sorry I am not being more specific!)
Keep ‘em coming Craig
Michelle
I look forward to meeting you at RYL Triple G… we’ll have a ball!

Hi eggcarton, yep, sometimes it’s a perspective thing…
Cheers..
Okay J9.. I’ll do my best to insult you at least once a week! ( )
Thanks Pet x
I can give you inspiration Matt – the weather is another matter… enjoy your flight – See you Sunday yer big stud.
Okay High C – I’ll do m’best ( )
Hi Anon – reminds you of who??
LOL

Craig
Most people come to your site looking to change their lives. Me? I come to your site looking for a good time. Is that bad?
By the way, I like your ‘ass’ please don’t change it.
Ange
Ange… you can come for any reason you like.
That’s one vote for ‘ass’ and one for ‘arse’….
noted.
Hi Anon – left field it shall be..
Hi Karen – thanks for your feedback… ( )
I really enjoy reading your blog entries because of their straightforwardness and bluntness. Sometimes harsh words are needed to break out of a rut. I’d continue to write what you feel needs to be expressed in each entry.
One idea that I’ve had is would you be open to guest posts from those who had some succss in changing their life for the better. Others’ perspectives might be helpful to the regular readers and show what can be accomplished.
P.S. I’ve never been fussed about “ass” v “arse”
Hate to be boring but I like the variety too.
I don’t necessarily connect with all posts but some I think, yeah, okay, I’ll read that again later.
Sometimes the posts just set off a little reminder trigger for me, so stuff I already know or do but always good to have a little kick up the proverbial.
I like the cut to the chase stuff. I know you need to be a bit careful when writing for others to read but I think you do a good job of ass kicking Craig, in a politish way.
Keep going just as you are.
Hi Ben – thanks for your thoughts. We’ve done the guest post thing a little already and will probably develop it in the future…
Cheers.
Hi justme – appreciate your feedback… thanks
I like the site just the way it is..what you say and how you say it. Well done.
Wendy
Thanks Wendy… ( )
I like all the different types of articles you write….I check your blog daily and love the variety. Keep up the great work….your ideas inspire me and keep me going!
Hi Teri – thanks!!
I agree with you in principle. I don’t know about the math, because it depends upon the frequency of the steps those 3 minutes. Your idea is correct. People need to find a solution not just talk about the problem.
What most don’t realize is that they need to be interested in the fact that they have a problem and then want to solve it. Many are in what Prochaska termed pre-contemplation. Their description of their attitude is “I won’t or I can’t”. The first issue is to get them to see that the benefit of change is greater than the benefit of remaining unchanged. Someone needs to pay for one ad per night that is aimed at convincing people of the benefit of change. Your solution, written to your audience appears to be just a rehash of the problem. It appears to be a solution but actually is just another complaint session with no actual solution offered. If you are serious, recruit one person who you convince to change and with out anything except use of your time – persuade and support them in implementing your solution for one year. Keep us posted on it. I would pay for that. See how that person responded to you calling them a fat ass. It may be true in a sense, but it isn’t motivating. Your audience here is captivated, and largely motivated but probably for mostly the wrong reasons. Ultimately that is the prescription for personal disaster. Are they following a “Scientist”? Or a demigod who likes to preach what his followers want to hear.
The only part of the solution you got correct was the fact that the majority are too sedentary.
Craig,
I read your blog because I like your easy going, down to earth conversational writing style no matter what topic you’re writing about.
I really liked this post because it went along the lines of comparing gas prices to bottled water prices or latte prices. If you do a little work for 3 minutes 15 times, you can make a lot of progress over a year, and all it takes are baby steps. Those calories add up (and the pounds fall off) just like the dollars add up buying those lattes or the savings adds up not buying them.
Add hand weights to your stepping and you can burn even more calories each day.
Sherri
First,
I just plagiarized the hell out of this post for my team!
Taking out the “ass” references and using only US measurements, and deleting some dialogue paragraphs, of course, gotta be PC.
Suggestion for the future writings: Be you… It works!
This is your creative outlet, and it is not in you to please the masses or asses… =)

Hi Craig
I really like your idea of the step-ups in the ads. I have a variation I use, because I rarely watch commercial tv! I keep hand weights next to my chair and do arm exercises while I’m watching.
Now you’ve inspired me to try another variation. I write, so I spend a lot of time on the computer. I do get up and walk around every 40 minutes or so, but now I’m going to some step-ups instead.
By the way, I’m a grandma in my sixties and I started going regularly to the gym this year, 3 times a week, non-negotiable (never been in my life before). I’ve lost nearly 10kg, but plenty more to go!
Jackie
When I was searching around for blogs that might be of interest. I remember you being recommended by another blogger. To me your title name got my attention. Motivation is what I need and you being a public speaker and me wanting to be one just fueled my curiosity. I continue to feed because I love your personality, the exercise articles and the many times that you have inspired me Thank you
Hi Craig,
I love your site, I don’t want you to change anything, I find the health and fitness posts particularly helpful!
Hi Craig,
I’m a big lurker, but since you asked, I’m chiming in. I would love to see more articles specifically about losing weight, exercising, eating right, etc. Yes, it gets repetitive. But for someone who’s actually on the journey, repetition is a good thing. Constant reminders help me stay focused.
Thanks!
Hi Craig,
I vote for health, fitness, motivation and ass-kicking type articles. Perhaps a steady diet of any one type of article would get monotonous….but I do enjoy the kick ass/wake-up call type articles!
Selfishly, those are my areas of focus right now. I continue to be motivated to remove this excess fat and it helps me to read about it.
Your latest on 15 minute intervals during commercials reminded me of the article you did several months ago about doing something every hour – to get up from the computer or your desk and move a little. So, for my personal 9 week challenge that is starting tomorrow, I’m challenging myself to add 4 – 5 minute intervals of some kind of play/exercise to my day (in addition to my gym workouts). I’m thinking things like jumping rope, jumping jacks, dancing, hoola hooping…..just a little something extra.
Take care,
Kris R
Great post Craig
I’ve been telling people for years to do exactly what you are teaching here.
I like the way you broke it down to the per hour workload, 15 minutes of exercise for every hour of tv watching.
Nice!
I really like the stuff you write, particularily things like a dogs’s life. It’s all good!!!
I just stumbled on your site today and I am getting such a kick out of your writing style. I say keep doing what you’re doing because it’s obviously working for you and many others—as seen by the numerous blog posts.
just stumbled upon this site … lead here by a fellow Weight Watcher on our online chat site…
bloody fantastic
love your style, funny, honest, butt kicking (that’s so American!), (i’m an Aussie)….. and switched on
can’t comment much on the content, but give me a few weeks and i will.
I’ll start with ownership of my problem, and getting up in the ads, the two things you’ve suggested to me today
on ya!!
