Weekend Update - Heat Wave Edition
It’s HOT in the south bay today. Temperature outside should hit the 90’s by mid afternoon. Yes, that’s hot for around here, my apologies for those of you in places like Phoenix where this would be a cool spring day
Before I melt, here are some articles from this week that I thought you might find useful:
I’ve never even heard of this blog but I like the name and I like this rant! It’s all about the methods the authors plans to use to eat better. All stuff you’ve heard before but it’s nice to see it in one spot plus I always get inspired after reading posts like these.
@Calorie Killers
And if we’re in the mood for a good health related rant (and I always am!), here’s one from a neat little blog called Waterproofing (which normally has nothing to do with health). It’s all about the various fallacies surrounding weight loss and diets. I love it!
@Water Proofing
Speaking of calories, here’s an excellent guest post from Mizfit that explains what calories are in small words and short sentences. Good for those of you who, like me, don’t have a degree in biology but still want to understand how our body works.

And hey, since we’re highlighting smaller news sources these days, how about an article from this little almost unknown source called Canada? Eh?!?! Sorry, couldn’t resist :) However, this excellent article from Canada.com (how come we don’t have a USA.com? Sigh. Never mind, I just checked and we do except our site is a redirect to some advertising website) highlights the dangers of over emphasis on fitness and health. Yes, you can overdo things, as many high end athletes will tell you. That’s why my philosophy is to really enjoy what I’m doing when I exercise and not just do it for exercise’s sake.

It’s so hot here too… I just can’t focus on anything. Don’t know why that is but people always would want the opposite weather. In winter everyone’s like “I want it to be summer” and then the summer comes and everyone complains about the hot temperatures (unless you happen to live near the sea ;))
