A little less Clyde...a little more rider.

Since I haven't been posting anything here, what, pray tell, have I been up to? Well...losing a decent sized chunk of my fat ass...that's what. About 23ish pounds thus far. "What? With your beer hall visits and extravagant culinary adventures?" you ask? I know...but its actually been pretty easy. The main ingredient for my success is a book, but its NOT a diet book. This is the new food gospel. The title is pretty cryptic...its called "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes.

Here is a handy link if you wish to know more...and you should wish to know more...even if you are not overweight. Seriously. Everyone knows Americans have a HUGE problem with our weight and the health problems that go along with being heavy. I should know, even though my health was really pretty good. This will help you or it will help someone you know...I promise. If you buy this book and think it's complete bullshit, I'll buy it back from you and give it to someone else...that's how sure I am.




In an effort to be transparent, this link to Amazon does give me a kickback if you use it to buy the book. That's not important to me. Buy it somewhere else...your local bookstore, your own Amazon account...hell...in this economy you should check it out at the library and save some cash. If nothing else, after reading this iconic publication you'll know where I'll meet you for lunch and where I probably won't meet you for lunch.

My next post will be about the new belt I had to buy because my old one ran out of holes...including the 2 new ones I had added. Sounds fascinating doesn't it? But really...it is bike related and it's a cool belt from a very interesting company. Stay tuned my svelte yet sturdy friends.
