Weekend Roundup - Dogpark Edition

We just came back from the dog park where our little puppy, Daisy, spent a couple of hours running around like mad chasing everything in sight and playing with any dog that looked willing. She came home covered in mud and exhausted but also very happy. We’re tired just trying to keep up with her.

And now, on to some interesting health articles.

Earlier in the week I talked about ways to spot a fad diet. Well, the Diet Blog has a similar post which asks “Is your diet a cult?”

Over at Almost Fit, they’re talking about 10 ways to build momentum with your weightloss plan. I liked this article even though it focuses a bit too much on weightloss, which I think is only one component of fitness. Motivation is key and the tricks mentioned in this article are a great way to keep yourself motivated.

The following article is not for people who are easily offended. It features a man by the name of Jack Lalanne who, for those who don’t know him, is one of the legends in the fitness community. Jack is extremely outspoken and can sometimes get a bit graphic, but I think he’s spot on in most cases. I just hope I’m in as good a shape as him when I hit my 90’s. So take a look at this article from the IF Life which introduces Jack to a whole new generation.

And if you want more information about Lalanne, here’s an article from Outside Magazine which features more of the man and his philosophy.
