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?

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! (more…)

July 2009 – There is a rumor going around on the Internet that Nike will pull the tapes of their star player representative after a dismal showing at this year's British Open in order to save Tiger from further embarrassment. Tiger was mad at himself and disgusted with his performance, but embarrassed? The great Bobby Jones was the guy that said golf is played on a field 6" wide, that area between the ears that we call a brain, meaning golf is just as much mental than it is physical. We all know that Tiger has the talent to win every time he tees it up. The fact that he doesn't is appreciated by every real golf enthusiast out there.

I find it hard to believe that Nike would be this stupid, even after the Lebron James "dunking" incident. It was James himself and his monster ego that demanded the evidence be sensored. Believe me, Tiger Woods is no Lebron James. I know Tiger Woods personally and he is one of the most humble of people off the course. 

The sportswriters are already second guessing him about his swing even though he has won multiple times since his comeback from knee surgery, they are hinting that he should drop Hank Haney as his swing coach. Sure, by Tiger's standards he has had a rough stretch of majors since the Masters Tournament but so what?

Tiger is very much a human being with human frailties. If you wish to think him super-human for what he has done in the game of golf go ahead and believe that. But don't join the legions of armchair quarterbacks that take joy in his failures. A guy like Tiger has a target on his back each time he doesn't win a tournament he is entered in, there is useless speculation and mean-spirited rumor mongering out there that has Tiger ready to fire his swing coach, his knee hasn't healed right, Hank Haney is messing up his swing, even that he is having difficulties with his marriage and is depressed. Simply not true.
