Ain't No Momma's Boy, BUT...
(Caption: Gettin' taken care of shortly after coming home from the hospital.)
This morning I had some "downtime" and was reflecting back on the critical impact and positive roles my parents have had in my life.
If you think about it, we interact with so many people and see relations… Continue

Cruise is a no-go. Here's your way to win consulting time!
Say it ain't so.
Emily had purchased us a one-day excursion to the Bahamas this weekend to celebrate my birthday.
But bummer of all bummers, we got an email saying the cruise ship was having engine problems so the trip was cancelled.
So now our plans are up in the air. Any sugge… Continue

Lots of fun at Plantation Relay for Life (Plus Pics)
This year, Plantation city council woman Sharon Uria, who co-chaired the city's Relay for Life, added me to the schedule with a "Getting fit with Doug" bootcamp on Saturday morning.
We ended up having 30-40 people join our energizing workout. About 75% of our participants were teenagers and I give them so much credit. They did a great job and were so enthusiastic. Here's some pics from the event.

The Ritz said "yes". What that means for you...
Since our place in Weston literally butts up to the Everglades, Naples is an easy sixty minute drive across Alligator Alley.

Fitness Tip
Read food labels. The labels of almost all foods will tell you the amount of dietary fiber in each serving, as well as the Percent Daily Value (DV) based on a 2,000-calorie diet. For instance, if a half cup serving of a food provides 10 grams of dietary fiber, one serving provides 40 percent of the recommended DV. The food label can state that a product is "a good source" of fiber if it contributes 10 percent of the DV--2.5 grams of fiber per serving. The package can claim "high in," "rich in" or "excellent source of" fiber if the product provides 20 percent of the DV--5 grams per serving.
Use the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food pyramid as a guide. If you eat 2 to 4 servings of fruit, 3 to 5 servings of vegetables, and 6 to 11 servings of cereal and grain foods, as recommended by the pyramid, you should have no trouble getting 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day.
