Drive
I have seen a ton of stuff on the market, but nothing can ever replace drive and determination when it comes to weight loss. You can be using the best weight loss products known to man, hire the best trainers, and read the best diet books, but nothing is going to change until you decide deep down inside that you want it to. Not only that you want change, but that you want it more than the things that you will have to give up to get it. That is the key. The skinnier you has to be more important to you than eating junk and sleeping in. Until that happens no diet or exercise plan can save you. Only you can help you.
Silent Bob Can't Fly?
Despite what Jay said in "Mall Rats", apparently Kevin Smith can't fly after all. Apparently, he was thrown off of a flight the other day because he was considered too large for the standard airplane seat he was seated in. The airline has since apologized, but I can't imagine that that made him feel much better.
You may find him trying to get phentermine without prescription sometime in the near future, but if I were to suggest an option, I would tell him to start lifting weights in a circuit. That seems to be the way of the future for weight loss. Even if you just start with body weight exercises. There are plenty of folks that think that that is all you need, period.

Biggest Loser Game for the Wii
I recently bought this game for my wife who wanted to start using it as a workout tool at home. The reviews were good so I thought I would give it a try.
One day when I was stuck working from home due to five hundred or so feet of snow outside, I decided to use it for my workout that day. I chose the intermediate workout and went to work. I have to say that for someone who works out very regularly it was more of a challenge than I expected. I honestly doubted going in that I would even get tired from it at all. In the end it turned out to be a pretty good workout. Decent variety and constant movement. Obviously it was only one of the many workout options so I think it scores well in the variety column as well. Clearly it won't give you advice on the most effective diet pill, but I'm not looking for that info anyway.
For $30 it definitely is worth a try.

The Draft
The NFL draft is coming up. As I've said before it is my one chance a year as a Brown's fan to see my club as a "top team", since they normally draft really high and get talked about a lot because of it.
Most non fans would consider the draft about as exciting as the average acne remedy, and I bet a lot of the fans of the perennially good teams feel that way as well. There just isn't much to get excited about unless, like me, this is the only day that gives you any hope that your team might not be terrible next season.
I have some hope this year, which isn't always the case, so we'll see.

P90X?
I keep hearing a lot about a new weight loss product called P90X. It isn't a pill but a workout/diet plan. It touts a workout that can be done at home that will keep your muscles guessing and never allow them to settle into a routine, thus maximizing weight loss.
Sounds pretty sensible to me. The principles that it is based on seem sound and sometimes it is a lot easier to have someone else do the creative program building for you. So if you are interested in getting started and don't want to do the research yourself, I would give it a try.

Lebron
I'm not an NBA fan so the only thing that will get me to tune in these days is watching Lebron in the playoffs. I don't really know the guy but I am, sadly, a fan of Cleveland sports in general so I continue to hope that he will bring home a championship for the city.
His career is still mostly in it's infancy and I hear that they are trying to inject some prenatal vitamins in the way of acquiring Amare Stoudemire before the trade deadline. The thinking is that there would be no way Lebron could then say that he had a better chance to win somewhere else and thus stay put.
Here's hoping they're right.

Games
I have always loved to play video games. I don't have as much time as I once did but when I do have time now, I play my wii. I love the innovative controls and most of the games are perfect for me as I don't have tons of time to play really difficult and involved games.
Plus there are a lot of games for kids that mine enjoy and are able to play on their own. Hopefully as they get older we will all get to spend some really fun times together playing. Sure I would love to have an Xbox and some of the games they have out for it now, but the wii suits my needs just fine at the moment.

Need, or not
Sometimes you really think you need something only to discover that you really don't. I had one such experience with a dehumidifier. I bought one for our basement because it had smelled a tad stuffy down there but then I could never get the thing to work. No matter how long I left it on, no water was pulled from the air. In the time that it has been sitting uselessly in our basement, I have maybe smelled the musty smell once. So I'm guessing my basement doesn't really need it. I guess if I start to smell that more often, I'll reconsider buying a new one.
