Enough of these videoes, let’s look at some links that I liked this week (since I’ve been away, some of the posts are a little older):

Deflabbify Got a perfect score on Wii Fit Soccer Ball Heading. I think there’s a 2-inch stack of dust on my Wii Fit. It’s sad, but we just don’t use it as much as we should. On a side note, I hope that Deflabbify posts more often…

Fit36 has Hit a Fitness Plateau. I had hit that with the 100 pushups as well. The 100 pushups stopped being fun and started being work.

Fat Man Unleashed has a comic that I found interesting… Pushups: Another Reason to Not Email Anyone

J.D. at Get Fit Slowly writes about a A 12-Year-Old Burger from McDonalds. I found this amazing.

Jim refers to a list of 10 Things That Are Surprisingly Good For You. Included on the list are topics like pornography, smoking, and beer. Surprising indeed, but we already knew beer is a healthy drink.

Sports and Cooking says, “don’t be too lazy, it’s unhealthy, maybe even lethal. Yep, I’ll come hunt you done for impersonating me.

WeightLadder asks, Is Grazing a Good Idea? I say yes. It’s a lot better than overeating all at once.

Here are some links that I enjoyed from last week:

• Israel is experiencing Consistent Weekly Weight Loss: 1 More Pound Lost. I’m still trying to figure out the photoshop trick.
• Deflabbify is is able to get a 403% burn rate on Wii Fit Basic Run. I need to spend a little more time with the Wii Fit. It’s been gathering a little bit of dust lately.
• J.D. is still Getting Fit Slowly, choosing to get some walks in while his leg is healing. I twisted my ankle a few weeks ago and I have to recommend swimming. For some reason, after each swim it felt like a million dollars.
• Did you know that Michael Phelps Consumes 12,000 A Day? I had read 10,000 recently and was going to write an article about it. Since I’m Lazy, and Jim already has the article, just read his. If it helps pretend I wrote it .
• Fit36 looks like he’s repeating Week 5 of his hundred pushup plan. I think I’ve almost completely given up on the program. I can’t seem to convince myself to do pushups any more. I think if the program was going to be successful for me, it would build a day of non-pushup exercise.
• Weight Loss Journal has a 2.2 pound weight gain this week. It sounds like he’s got a great plan
• NCN has found the Become A Swimmer. As I said earlier, I can’t recommend swimming enough. I’m glad that NCN has realized how good it is.

Earlier today, I mentioned a recent trip to Los Angeles. There I reviewed Gordon Ramsay at the London and Noe Restaurant. I thought I’d follow that up with a couple of Atkins friendly dining experiences that we had from the same trip.

Mastro’s Steakhouse Reviewed

Like any good steakhouse, they make sure the steak is great. My wife had the Filet Mignon and said it was one of the best steaks she’s ever had. I had the prime rib (I know it’s horrible for you with tons of saturated fat). It was up there, but I can’t say it was the best I’ve had. If you aren’t on an Atkin’s diet, I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese. It was the best I’ve had in some time. The food was plentiful – we had enough for two meals. The service was incredible, just very nice, friendly people. We walked out of the restaurant thinking that it was one of the best meals we had it long time. From a price perspective, we paid around $160 and thought it was a very good value compared to Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant.

Fogo de Chao Reviewed

Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian churrascaria. I’ve been to several Brazilian churrascarias and they always seem to have a couple of things in common. It’s all-you-can-eat (dangerous for any diet), and the waitstaff brings big cuts of meat to the table. You get several types of steak, chicken, lamb, pork, almost anything that was living and part of a standard American diet. In the past I’ve been Texas de Brazil (Aruba), Churrascaria Plataforma (New York City) and a couple of smaller ones in Massachusetts.

I first heard about Fogo de Chao from Jim’s review. Since I’m a huge fan of Texas de Brazil, I knew that I’d have to give it a try if I had the chance. I have to say that it was good, but probably a little shade behind Texas de Brazil. I think the cuts of meat were just better there. However Fogo de Chao did have some outstanding bread with cheese baked in. (Perhaps they could have provided some gravy to complete the clogging of my arteries.) We ended up spending close to $150 again for dinner, blowing our dining out budget for some time.

Here are some links from the Fitness Health Network that I liked this week:

• J.D. went to physical therapy this week. When he talked about being out of balance, I instantly thought of my Wii Fit. It talks about how important balance really is. Perhaps J.D. can add a little more Wii Fit into his stretching routine.
• Perhaps J.D. can also use some tips on preventing runner’s knee from WeightLadder. I don’t think that’s really his problem, but it can’t help to be proactive.
• No Calories Needed is looking for the best way to cook chicken. If health is your only concern, I’d say boiling it. However, the result is often dry, flavorless chicken. Instead I just go with the George Foreman grill. I will marinate it in lemon juice and use some garlic powder when cooking it. Yum!
• Journal of Healthy Living talks about avocados as a superfood. It wasn’t until I moved to California that I found that avocado is fantastic food.
• Fat Man Unleashed writes about the ultimate bicep. If it’s anything like the photo, I’ll stick with my own biceps, thanks.

Here are some links from the fitness health network that I didn’t get to share over the weekend while I getting my stink on:

• J.D. from Get Fit Slowly has lost his way with his health, but now he has found it. It’s a great personal story that I highly recommend.
• Fat Man Unleashed had a similar drop and rebound. After some disappointing news last week, he manned up and lost two pounds.
• No Credit Needed probably knows himself better than anyone I know. He’s worked his way out of debt by budgeting his money. This time he’s working to create a food budget. It’s a little like a money budget, but adapted for his health.
• Weight Loss Journal has dropped 62 pounds in 100 days. I saw him before he started his journey and in a lot of ways it’s hard to recognize him now.
• Journal of Health Living investigates omega 3 fatty acids. I definitely need to get more in my diet, but I don’t like to eat a lot of fish (plus it’s expensive). I should invest in the supplements.

• Deflabbify – Deflabbify is an awesome domain name. My favorite article this week is actually one posted today… The killer hidden cost of weight-loss programs.
• Fit 36 – This site one of a few run by one gentleman. My favorite article this week was The Challenges of Living Healthy While on Vacation. It’s one I can relate to. I am going on a vacation myself and looking for Hotel Friendly Food?
• Quick To Fit – This looks the newest of the sites to me. The domain is short, has some good keywords, and an extremely clean look. I particular liked this one on building a basic home gym that doesn’t have to be expensive. I’ve had my eye on those adjustable weights for some time.

If you are serious about health, take a minute and add these folks to your feed reader. I got the feeling they’ll be blogging for awhile.

At least he wasn’t right about their being fish in the river behind my house. Since he’s a pretty good fisherman, perhaps he’s just as humbled to have not caught a fish whenever I’ve been around.

Here are some links I liked this week from the Fitness Health Network:

Idea: Going Vegetarian For One Week – Jim is going to try to be a vegetarian for a week. In the past, I’ve tried it for a few meals and failed.

100 Pushups: Week One, Day Three – J.D. is repeating the first week of one hundred pushups. I barely survived the first week. I may be repeating week two.

Master List of Unconventional Benefits of Weight Loss – Israel has a list of unconventional benefits to weight loss. I wouldn’t have thought donating clothes to charity as one of them. That would mean that I would have to buy all new clothes.

100 Push Ups Week 1 Day 1 – 42 Push Ups!!! – No. Calories needed has joined the 100 push-up craze.

The Karl Lagerfeld Diet – Weight Loss Journal reviews the book. I liked this line: “The main premise of the diet is to simply lower the amount of calories you’re taking in and exercise more.” It’s too bad, I was looking for a diet that requires no exercise and lots of eating.

I’m getting back on track though. Instead of my average lunch, I replaced it with two smaller “lunches” today. The first “lunch” was a whey protein shake and and apple. The second “lunch” was another whey protein shake. I’m going to try to get to two a day while if I’m home during the day. For dinner, I’m going to be a little worse and have a cheeseburger (no bun) and some baked beans. I need to add a veggie to that and I haven’t decided what it is going to be yet.

Onto the links:
Importance of Breaking Routine & Monotony – Jim write that you simply can’t continue to do the same thing over and over again. It gets boring and you won’t want to stick with it.

Giving Up Soda, Diet Cola, Pop, Mountain Dew, Coke, And Pepsi – NCN is giving up soda… wow. I tried that for about 2 days and failed miserably. The thing is that I used to never drink soda as a kid. However, now I can’t seem to find good flavored alternatives.

Ruptured Peroneus Longus Tendon – Weight Ladder had a set back in his quest to lose weight. With an injured ankle for as long as 6 months his exercise options will be limited.

Seeing is Believing with WeightView – Fat Man gives a review of WeightView. I’ll have to give it a shot.
