Contest: YouTube Your Way To Stress Relief (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
On a Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago, I was laughing out loud at some videos on YouTube.
If you need some stress relief (and who doesn’t), just go to YouTube, type in your search, and immediately get funny videos for free! One search that works well for me is “clean comedians”.
One comedian I really [...]
Having My Back Cracked Makes Me Happy (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
I mean it. It had been a while since I visited my local Chiropractor. I was feeling pretty stressed and not sleeping that well.
After my adjustment, my attitude immediately began to improve. The next day, after a better night’s sleep, I really was happier.
For me, Chiropractic care makes a difference in my day to day [...]
The Fun “All In One” Workout (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
I’ve been working out consistently for 6 years and I’ve finally found a workout that I really enjoy. I’ve listed what I do but what I do is not the point. The point is that I’ve read for years that your workout should be enjoyable and leave you feeling refreshed. This is the first time [...]
Are You Washing Your Windows In The Dark? Good! (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
If you wait for the right time; you’ll never start.
For about a week I put up with decreased vision because of stuff on the inside of my car windshield. The problem was that I planned each day to wash the windshield after I got home from work. The problem with that was that it was [...]
Don’t Let Desire Drive Out Wisdom (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
Okay, I’ll admit it, that’s exactly what I did.
I love to run and recently I’ve had the chance to run with my daughters. That makes running even better.
On the other hand, I have been recovering from a nagging knee injury. Well, Saturday came and the girls and I had planned a run. The weather was [...]
Crossing The Line Has The Power To Change Your Life (Fun And Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
That’s the tagline to my favorite source of fitness inspiration: podcasts from EndurancePlanet.com. If you haven’t checked them out, I highly recommend these short (usually around 10 minutes long) bursts of inspiration and training advice. Some of them haven’t affected me too much but some have inspired me to the point of tears.
It’s also the [...]
The Get More Sleep Diet (Fun And Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
Want to lose weight? Get more sleep.
I was shocked when listening to a segment of a podcast (you really are going to want to listen to it) based on the latest sleep research (see NY Times Article: Snooze or Lose). My mom was right: consistent sleep is VERY important.
Some things I recall from the podcast.

Have you ever had a shopping experience that was so great, you wanted to blog about it? This is one of those times.
Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving, I get a call from my wife. She asked me to stop by a local store and pick up a specific bottle of wine for our Thanksgiving dinner. I [...]
Rethinking Workout Times (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
This is a guest post by Lisa Hendey. She blogs at Productivity@Home .
I am typically a morning workout person. During the school year, my
routine is to wake early, before my sons and husband. I pray, work,
and drink lots of decaf prior to waking up the rest of the house.
After driving the kids to school, as [...]
Evan Almighty – Mighty Good (Movie Review) (Fun and Fitness Friday) [Tech Rest]
Evan Almighty was every bit as good as I had hoped. I can’t think of anything bad to say about it.
Don’t be put off by the title. I’m pretty sensitive and I didn’t see anything sacrilegious about it.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot, the acting, the sets, and the special effects all combined to tell [...]
