The Technology that may just save this old Marine's life
As a disabled vet I am eligible for the Veteran Administrations MOVE program, a national weight management program designed by the VHA National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention to help veterans lose weight, keep it off and improve their health. I am all over that!
A Partner With Your Healthcare Team
This little device here is my new friend, it greets me every morning with all kinds of cool suggestions on how to make healthy food choices. It attaches to a scale that I can send in my weight with and is connected to the nursing center at the Carl T. Hayden VA Medical Center in Phoenix where I have been assigned my own personal nutritionist. I weigh in once a week but check in daily for tips, helpful suggestions and questions designed to motivate me. Check out the one here on How Do I Get Started With Changing My Eating Habits
How Does A Veteran Get Into The Move Program?
The MOVE! Program is designed for veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system who want assistance with managing their weight. Typically, the program is offered to veterans who are overweight or obese. Talk with your VA healthcare team about MOVE! If you are not already enrolled in the VA healthcare system, visit the Gateway to VA Healthcare website to find out more information about available medical benefits, enrollment and eligibility.
It's About Making The Right Food Choices
I wasn't kidding about the saving my life part. Since leaving the Marine Corps in 1972 I have struggled and fought a mostly losing battle to maintain my marine corps weight or some semblance thereof! Even accounting for my age (61) I am way over the line for any kind of healthy outlook, pre-diabetic and fed up with the way I look and feel. I have tried everything but I think this time between the support I get from the Viterion 100, my VA nutritionist, the follow up MOVE Forward programs, and the staff of the VA MOVE Program in Phoenix, I may just have a shot at becoming human again! The good news is that a low carb approach works great with the MOVE program – so stay tuned for progress reports! Read the rest of this entry »

Dustin Johnson and his caddy spent a whole lot of cash in that sandy little spot at Whistling Straits during the PGA Championship 2010 final round. Besides missing a three way playoff with Bubba Watson and Martin Kymer, and one that would have had me betting on him as the next PGA Champion, his eventual tie for 5th after a two-stroke penalty cost him a cool quarter mil. At 10% his caddy dropped 25k. Sadly, he was the best player that day too.
I've got to assign blame for this boo boo primarily to Johnson's caddy, who as I understand it was not his regular looper. Even in the heat of the moment and with all that gallery tramping in the bunker he should have said something to his player to the effect, "local rules may stipulate that this sand is in fact a bunker so just to be on the safe side – don't ground your club."
There is plenty more blame to go around even on Dustin Johnson's part and while he handled it well and seemed to be philosophical about it, it has to hurt, big time.
Who do you think was to blame for this, if not his caddy?
I prefer to remember Dustin Johnson in better times, such as this candid and funny interview he did on Maginnes Uncut.

The Golf Diet for Health Conscious Golfers
Putt small portions in your mouth.
Eat lots of greens.
Approach processed foods carefully.
Avoid chips by presenting a closed face.
Keep healthy sauces in the condiment caddie.
Take just a drop of cream for your coffee.
Minimize your fat intake.
Check the loft on your fork to make sure it doesn't cut more than it should.
Leave those loose impediments on the table.
Mulligans on meals (seconds) are not allowed.
Stay out of the cart as much as you can.
Sugar is out of bounds for the golfer.
Follow through on your plan to eat healthier.
A hacker is a golfer that can't carve a roast OR hit a golf ball.
Slice your whole grain breads thinly.
And above all, drink lots of casual water!

U.S. Open final round Sundays have always been special, to the eventual winners obviously, but a U.S. Open Sunday and Fathers Day falling on the same day at Pebble Beach is special and has always provided some sentimental moments. 2010 was no different and as a TV spotter stationed on the 18th hole I was able to get some exclusive footage of two contestants, PGA Tour players who went a step further to recognize the special relationship they have with their Dads.
On the 18th tee, Drew Watney and Steve Wheatcroft exchanged their regular caddies for their respective fathers and played their last hole with Dad on the bag! I may have been the only one to know it because they didn't make any announcements or inform any tournament officials, they just did it! Are you listening Nike and Mr. Knight – here are two guys who "just do it!"

I am getting kinda tired of the grandstanding tactics that these high profile attorneys use when they have a weak case, blowing smoke to stir up the female population just to create a diversion with some catchy little slogan.
Just remember this little ditty ladies, if you are in need of slogan material: if he doesnt hit, you must submit -
Of course that's a bad joke but just look at this latest sleezy attempt to extort more money from Tiger Woods.
OMG! An ADULT film actress has been traumatized by yet another black weenie.
