SoG Doin it for the cause

March 18th, 2009

Sorry for the late post today. I was at a photoshoot… lol you heard me right. Years ago, I used to do some small time film and television work. My old agent called me up the other day and asked me to come audition for this runway show that benefits a children’s charity. Well, seeing [...]

In a world full of unscrupulous marketing campaigns and products full of chemicals and crap, I bring you a cosmetic health product that you can trust. I call it “Healthy Glow”. Best of all, it is being given away… Absolutely Free! Product Ingredients: 1. Healthy exposure to Vitamin D and Sunlight 2. Regular exercise 3. [...]

I binged a bit this weekend. You heard right… the SoG and a binge… not often you hear that put together. By binge, I mean that I had about 50g extra carbs this weekend and a little extra natural sugar from fruit…. so nothing too bad but for me a binge none the less. The culprit [...]

If you don’t have a jump rope yet… go buy one. Head down to the local sporting goods store. A jump rope will cost you $10. If you are really cheap (nothing wrong with that), make your own. Simply tie a knot in both ends of a piece of rope. There was a time when I [...]

What did he just say?Did the SoG really just say that whole grains are part of a balanced diet? Yes… yes I did. Here is the thing. I do not WANT a balanced diet. I want a darn good diet. Balanced to me implies that you are balancing something good with something bad. So if [...]

*Prelude: Foodrenegade is giving away some grassfed beef. If you have been putting off grassfed because of the cost or because of lack of availability, head over there for your free chance at some! Check it out here This little piggy did high knees. This little piggy did none (but he did jumping jacks). This [...]
