Fat 2 Fit Show #26 – Internet Resources
Written on April 10, 2008 – 11:11 pm | by Jeff Ainslie
It turns out that Jeff isn’t the only person in the world who makes his morning oatmeal ahead of time. Believe it or not, in this show we read listener feedback about their ways of preparing oatmeal in advance. Here is a link to their suggestions and recipes.
Russ is back on his goal of doing a “couch to 5k” and found some better programs that will hopefully keep him injury free this time. He found some great plans on Beginner Triathlete. Jeff brought up the fact that almost half of Major League Baseball teams this year will be offering seats with “all-you-can-eat” specials at the ballpark… and people wonder why we are all getting fatter and fatter.
We attempted to provide people with not only some great sites on the Internet for Diet and Fitness advice, but also to help steer people away from resources that are not truly legitimate or without some sort of agenda. We found that a great deal of advice and information on the ‘Net all seems to be trying to promote or sell something to us. Some sites actually start with a product that they want to support or sell and then create a site around it.

That one cookie did not keep you from losing. It was your choice to eat it anyway. Factor it into your daily caloric intake.

You mentioned the Couch to 5K… but you didn’t mention what it was or where you found it.

Wow, you’re reaching back in time there. What cookie are you referring to? – Russ

The package of cookies that a son convinced the wife to buy. One of you said “they brought it into MY home”. All of you live there and have to co-exist… the ones on a *diet* and the ones that are not. I’m sure no one shoved the cookie in your mouth. LOL.
BTW… a friend just turned me on to your podcast so that’s why I’m way back here.
I do like it a lot and will probably download the last season soon. So you may get comments from me waaaayyyyyy back. LOL.
