Big news! You've probably seen the #fit4gencon movement if you follow geeky folks on Twitter. We use it when we're talking about our healthstyle - eating better, working out, etc. But there were folks who felt left out. They said, "I don't/can't go to GenCon, but I want to be a part of this super cool idea!" Introducing... The +5 CHA Community! Check out our (very) new digs at plus5CHA, where we have our very own, 100% private members-only forum for geeks looking to get … [Read more...]
It's funny how predictably this happens. As part of my healthstyle, I've been cooking a lot of meals at home using ingredients fresh from the farmers market. And every time I tweet about something I'm cooking, I get responses like this: WHOA! How did you DO THAT? That looks AMAZING! I wish I could cook awesome things like that. I don't think I could ever learn how to cook stuff that looks that delicious. That must have taken forever to make! And every time I see these … [Read more...]
I made a non-resolution that I was going to rock a new healthstyle in 2010, so here I am, being accountable and writing an update about how things are going.

I thought I'd give you an update on how the Salad Club at ThinkGeek's World Domination HQ is going. (If you missed the beginning of Salad Club, check it out here.) Depending on the week, we have anywhere from 3-6 people in Salad Club. There are about 4 of us who are in every week, and the others pop in and out from week to week. We have abandoned the Google Docs idea. It may work for your office, but we have a bunch of people who wait until Monday to check the doc and then go shopping, … [Read more...]

I've gotten some requests for more information about Salad Club and getting one started at your office. If you missed the first post, pop back and read the overview of Salad Club first. I would make PDF downloads, but let's face it, most folks download something, look at it once, and then forget about it. I'm just going to write it all out here so you can copy/paste/modify/whatever you like.

On my quest to become Fit4GenCon, I've invented a club over at my day job at ThinkGeek. It's Salad Club, and the simplest way to describe it is a potluck salad bar. How Salad Club Works Members sign up on a Google Docs spreadsheet and commit to bring 1-2 salad ingredients for the week. For example, this week I'm on greens duty. On Monday, everyone brings in their item and places it in the crisper bins of our fridge. When lunchtime rolls around, Salad Club members pull out the … [Read more...]
2010 is nearly upon us (unless you're one of our Aussie readers, in which case you're already there!) and instead of making New Year's Resolutions, I've decided to go with Chris Brogan's method of choosing words to guide me through the year. If you're single, check out my suggestions on how to use this method to improve your dating life. I have three goal words, but will be sharing one big one with you all because I really, really, really want you to help me stick to it. Whether it's by … [Read more...]
Steel cut oats, also known as Irish oats, are an awesome source of insoluble fiber and protein. If you find that regular oatmeal is too mushy and just doesn't fill you up, you're going to want to try steel cut oats. Now, the problem with steel cut oats is that they take a long time to cook. Who has 30-40 minutes to make breakfast? My solution to this was making them in the crockpot and then reheating them in single servings in the morning. My favorite kind of oatmeal has always been … [Read more...]
