Saskatchewan Marathon

This was supposed to be me. Due to ongoing lower back problems I decided that it would be a bad plan to push my luck. I did not think that my boss would appreciate it if I had to miss work. I can just imagine how that phone call would have gone: "I am so sorry, I won't be in to work for a few days, I seemed to have aggravated my bad back due to the fact that I participated in a marathon on Sunday."

Who would have thunk it? After watching Paul McKenna's latest program on how to control food cravings I realized he is simply using time proven methods used to train dogs! Yes it is true! He uses positive and negative behavior modification methods. It is basically Pavlov's dog: To train a positive response in the dog I use a clicker. It goes like this. To prime the clicker simply click then give the dog a treat. Repeat many times. Now the clicker is primed, every time I click the dog exp… Continue
