To further this metaphor - there are several fun tools you can use to 'gamify' your journey. I started using MyFitnessPal to track my intake and a Fitbit to get a rough approximation of my output about a month ago. Flash forward to now - and the positive feedback loop of tracking weight, body fat % (through approx.…

Anyone have a good recommendation on an armband for Galaxy S5 that you don't have to take out of a LifeProof case to use? Thanks as always for the deals Shep!

I have struggled with this my entire life. I highly recommend the book "Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets Out of Control" - it's an ongoing struggle - but you can in fact see your need for perfection wane over time (mindfulness is KEY). Also, try making mistkaes on purpose every once in a while to prove to…

From roughly 2011-2013 (when my daughter was 2-4 years old) I repeatedly had the theme song of that show stuck in my head every morning! Great programming for developing minds - insidious brainworm of a theme song.

How about the "WWJD" phenomena of the mid to late 90's? Maybe it was just me growing up in Georgia - but it seemed like conservative christian culture pervaded all aspects of society.

Does asking for a free night if you fail on the 25% off really work? If I were a property owner, I'd be able to recognize that conceding to a fourth night free is exactly the same as a 25% reduction on the overall fee (I know the math shakes out different depending on days booked). Love the tips overall though! The…

Toilet paper!

Sure they froze in the snow... but why did they all have belts tightened around their necks?

For anyone in search of discounted kitchen, bath, home wares this weekend - both JCP and Macy's have big sales running, with the opportunity to use a coupon for an additional 15% off (bringing these items below the Amazon or elsewhere online price). We had been looking to pick up a KitchenAid stand mixer for some time…

'Couch to 5k Pro' is such a knockoff misleading app in this list. The true Couch to 5k (which also retails for $2) is not the one that is free. No fault of Shep or anyone here, but just wanted to make sure that anyone here looking around knows that it's not the extremely popular and much higher quality C25k app.

That is excellent! Thanks for the quality writing as always, and the ongoing transparency and dialogue you maintain with your readers.

This is from yesterday's ''18 Horrifying Things Hidden In Fine Print''

Did you read a recent Cracked.com photoplasty and get interested in this, thus leading to this article a couple days later? When I saw that one on there, I thought WHAT THE HELL? And now, an explanation. (Or maybe it was serendipity between my two favorite sites)

The link to the LG 60" TV loops me back to this same page. Also - I own the REI Quarter Dome tent (used to be called REI Quarter Dome Ultralight I think) and it is EXCELLENT for backpacking in non-winter scenarios. That is a screaming deal - and anyone tentatively interested in backpacking this upcoming spring/summer…
