How to Stop Worrying

In my last blog post about the effect of worrying and what to do about it I forgot humor! Paul wrote the following article when I was stuck in a cycle of worry and fear that the "normal" stress relief methods could do nothing about. How to Stop Worrying. by Paul Hood Dale Carnegie had some good ideas, but the story isn’t over yet. It’s not as if there aren’t thousands, maybe millions of positive examples out there. So many mentors, so many shining examples of how to live life more joyo… Continue

Happy Thanksgiving...and Pass the Pie!

Is there anything worse than being on a diet during the holidays? How about being on a diet period? Even if you’re not on a specific weight reduction/maintenance program, but are just practicing healthy eating habits (like my high-fiber diet), holidays, especially family gatherings around the dinner table, can be a challenge.… Continue

Are You Like Good Mike or Bad Mike?

Life is all about choices. Take the recently completed presidential election. Millions of Americans were offered a ballot filled with multiple choices. From those choices, we analyze, ponder, discuss, weigh the pros and cons, then make our selections. While a national election is a major event that challenges our decision-making prowess, the personal choices we all make every day of our lives are equally, if not more, important.… Continue

I Miss My Hair

Hello! As you know, Iowa Avenue is one of the best sites around when it comes to health, fitness, diet, exercise, nutrition, and all things that are good for you. I advocate all of these things on my website, livelife365.com. But one other thing that I love to do is make people laugh. And while laughter will not help you lose weight or get that belly flatter, it IS good for you. Very healthy for you! With that in mind, I would like to share my latest music video, "I Miss My Hair," which should… Continue

Can you Name that Fruit?

Growing up, every Sunday night meant watching 60 minutes, and what defined 60 Minutes more than Andy Rooney?

Who needs a treadmill when you've got Briggs and Stratton?

I spent the day today mowing our yard. This may sound trivial if you have not seen our yard. I was mowing for almost 8 hours - we are on an acre, and due to some semi-sadistic character flaw that I have since gotten treatment for, I apparently thought it was a good idea to use mowing my lawn as exercise, so I purchased a lawnmower. Now it is self-propelled to a degree, but it really only propels itself when the bag is 90% empty. And when you don't mow your back 1/2 acre for like, a month, or two… Continue
