Walk in the Park!

Jonathon Weston — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:14:15 +0000

I’m testing out the new GD Star Rating system by Millan. Its free, but I’m finding it a little tricky to use… it looks really professional and well done too, so I’m really keen to try and get it working properly. I want to use this star rating system to get feedback on this blog as well [...]

Burning The Christmas New Years Fat

Jonathon Weston — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 03:24:57 +0000

Well finally we’re all clearing the Christmas/New Years period (not to mention my family’s annoying birthdays on the 28th & 3rd!), and as usual my partner is saying she’s put on at least a few kilos. Me on the other hand… I’ve dropped weight, because I’m not at the gym. Ah, the curse of the [...]

Blood Type Diet Effects

Jonathon Weston — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 03:52:50 +0000

While shopping for Christmas presents this year, my partner found a book called “Cook Right For Your Type“. Its a book about how to cook (and eat) for your own particular blood type. I’ve read the book, and I was fascinated by the background on how blood types evolved, and the rationale about eating particular foods [...]

Colorado Experiment Results

Jonathon Weston — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:36:15 +0000

I can hardly believe its been 3 months since my first post about the Colorado Experiment – but its true! Thanks for all the emails & comments I’ve received badgering me to add a status report… I needed it! Ok… So, how did it all go? In my original post I said that the first few sessions made [...]

Testing out the Colorado Experiment

Jonathon Weston — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:29:17 +0000

My brother & I have recently decided to give a variation of “The Colorado Experiment” a test. We regularly go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week as it is, but are now tweaking our sessions to match this Colorado Experiment we found on the net. Briefly, the Colorado Experiment says to try very [...]

Dancing Craze Wins!

Big congrats to “Dancing Craze” inventor, Stacy Cho, the winner of HopeLab’s Ruckus Nation competition and recipient of $50,000 in prize money! What is Dancing Craze? It’s not really like anything else on the market today, in fact, its more an expansion of real dancing and the sharing of that experience. Dancing Craze users will wear [...]

Ruckus Nation Semi-Finalists Announced!

Jonathon Weston — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 04:34:34 +0000

Ruckus Nation’s competition to get kids moving… moves on! The semi finalists have been chosen and you can view the whole listing at http://www.ruckusnation.com/semifinalists.html. There’s some really wacky stuff there, but mainly a good solid group of products some of which you’ve probably even thought of yourself. My favourite is “mile a minute” under the “other” catagory. [...]

Shock! Horror!

Jonathon Weston — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 11:41:30 +0000

My brother has stolen my copy of Psycho-Cybernetics! It’s a complete outrage… or should I say, completely understandable outrage! Now utterly dog-eared to oblivion, I’ve “donated” that copy of the book to him and we’re still waiting on another copy of the book to come through our local Borders bookstore. 1 month and counting so far [...]

Can These Little Known Mental Exercises Help You Lose Weight?

Jonathon Weston — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 03:00:18 +0000

I finally got my hands on a copy of Psycho-Cybernetics, by Maxwell Maltz the other day. I’ve been recommended this book by friends, business colleagues, and at least three authors I’ve read have recommended Maltz’s work. You could easily label the book an “Epic” or “Magnum Opus”… untold thousands of people from all [...]

Ruckus Nation Judging, It’s All Over Folks!

Jonathon Weston — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:08:01 +0000

I finished my Ruckus Nation Judging today. I can tell you it was a fascinating experience… but as to the details on what exactly I judged? Unfortunately I can’t go into that. What I will say is that I got a lot of entries that used very popular current day technology and tweaked it to make [...]
