In episode 68 I was really trying to move beyond the biggest loser contest, and fill out some gaps in my diet or supplement regimen. That contest was not healthy in the sense that to win it I had to just basically starve myself for 12 weeks. That’s not a healthy lifestyle. The one thing…

This is a great statement of how you don’t have to go crazy. Unfortunately, a lot of information you get is tied to supplemental products that you really don’t need.

Another motivational episode, which I like. I can list the things I’ve done in my life. I don’t count any as great accomplishments, but it has been exciting, and there have been some high points. What do I want the rest of my life to be like, when I’m in my teens again, 113-119, and…
