Weekend Roundup - Pickup Edition

Just wanted to say thank you to Stephanie over at Back in Skinny Jeans for giving me a chance to guest blog on her site. You can see the post and the lively discussion that followed at this link: Toss Out Your Skinny Jeans.

Also wanted to thank the folks at LifeHacker who chose to feature my article about staying healthy while traveling. I appreciate the link and the great discussion that it caused. I’ll be taking some of the comments from that conversation and putting them into a follow up post tomorrow. In the meantime, you can find the original post here.

And now, on to some useful articles from this week.

From blogging away fat we have this latest entry in Tricia’s weightloss progress. I wouldn’t normally link to an entry like this but the later part of what Tricia wrote really resonated with me. She’s not following some structured plan or a special diet, she’s just eating healthy and being active and the weight is coming off.

From eDiet we have yet another article about the negative impact soda can have on your life. If you’re trying to be healthy, this is one of the first bad habits you should kick. Soda is nothing more than chemical water with calories you don’t need.
@eDiets

And from Zen Habits we have this article on how to become a vegetarian. Long time readers of 60 in 3 know that, although I am a vegetarian myself, I don’t really advocate it as a lifestyle for everyone else. However, I do believe that most people eat too much meat and could benefit from this article, even if they don’t intend to cut their meat consumption to zero.

Hey Gal,

So glad to have you on BISJ. Man! I sure never imagined that we’d get such a polarizing response in comments. It goes to show though how people can get very emotional about body image and perception. I very much appreciated your piece, and you’re always welcome at our blog

Hi Steph,
Any conversation is good, even if there were some extreme responses. Thanks again for the opportunity to talk to your readers.
