5 Weight Loss and Fitness Blogs
For this weeks blogs to check out I’m going with all Weight Loss and Fitness blogs. Hopefully you find something of value on these sites. I really enjoy them and find tons of useful information when I go surfing through them.
Small housekeeping note: First, I installed a new comments plugin and it didn’t go well, I lost all the comments from previous posts. But we are back to normal now and all the comments are listed so crisis averted! Secondly, PLEASE check out the new archives page! I cannot begin to tell you how difficult that was to get on there. Should have been a breeze, but I was struggling with this one. But it’s up and looks good, so take a look around and read some of the older posts, hopefully you find something you like.
1. Fatty Weight Loss Blog - There is nothing like a blog where you can learn first hand from people who are actually trying things. There are tons of great ideas on this site! I think the best part about this site is that its been around for a long time so there are tons of archives to shuffle through.
2. Former Fat Guy - When it comes to weight loss, I haven’t found a more inspirational guy. You MUST check this site out, and make sure you read the weight loss story and view the before and after photos. AMAZING!
3. Steve Maxwell - If you are tired of the same old workouts, then Steve is a guy you have to check out. He is in phenomenal shape, yet uses unusual methods to get there. He uses a lot of kettle balls in his training, which I have always wanted to try but have not yet. This site is a very interesting read.
4. Zen to Fitness - This site fits in nicely with what I’m trying to accomplish here. It’s a very simple site, but loaded with great information. Make sure you check out the post on the beginners guide to minimalist health and fitness. You will fall in love with this site.
5. Fat burning tips for women - Angie over at Women’s Diet and Fitness has some great posts specifically for women. Some of the things she touches on frequently are diets, goal setting and burning fat. In my experience though, weight loss and fitness tips are universal. Most concepts are the same for both men and women, so don’t let the site name keep you from visiting!
That’s it for this one – I hope you enjoy the sites! I won’t be posting for the rest of the weekend…One of my best friends from high school is getting married this weekend! It’s going to be a great time, I can’t wait!

21 Ways to Have Fun For Free!
21 Ways to Have Fun for Free!
In response to my post from yesterday, I got a comment from Steve that said, “Dude, you forgot #8, cut out all the fun!” While I don’t agree with Steve that those 7 ideas are cutting out all of the fun from your life in order to save money, I think this is a great opportunity to list 21 ways you can have tons o’ fun without spending a dime!
Saving money doesn’t have to be a chore. You shouldn’t have to hate your life because you are trying to be frugal. Just get a little creative.
Use your imagination!
When you were a kid, you didn’t have any money to spend but you had fun all day long! What did you do then? Why not now? Don’t underestimate the amount of fun you can have by just acting like a kid again.
So here they are:
1. Build a bonfire
2. Go camping
3. Grab some friends and play freeze tag (you know you want to!)
4. Have a picnic
5. Go kayaking
6. Read a good book
7. Build a fort
8. Play beer pong
9. All night board games
10. Go do karaoke
11. Start a blog
12. Blast your favorite cd
13. Take a ton of funny pictures
14. Go swimming
15. Create your own holiday and celebrate it
16. Go see Shakespeare in the park
17. Make someone a mixed cd
18. Watch funny movies
19. Play with your kids
20. Go to the dog park
21. Explore downtown
Extra tip: Watch the Big Lebowski as many times in a row as possible!
See, saving money and having fun don’t have to compete, you can do them both at the same time! Do you have any ideas to add to the list? Let us know in the comments section!
