It’s time for a little reflection and review. Each December, I conduct my Annual Review (this is my sixth year) and I’ve found the process useful every time. As always, this Annual Review will answer three questions. What went well this year? What didn’t go so well this year? What did I learn? Before I begin, I should mention one thing: It’s always a little weird for me to share these Annual Reviews because when I talk about the good stuff it feels like I’m bragging and when I talk about the bad stuff it feels like I’m being strangely…

When body size is viewed as a referendum on beauty, we lose sight of this complex, harrowing reality; when we’re told that a body size is a trend, we naturally react to that information by competing—to take “in” or “out” sides. This dooms us to the cycle of body dissatisfaction that keeps us trapped in diet culture and, more urgently, shifts our focus away from creating a world where it’s safe for everyone to have the body they have. “Thin is in” glosses over the racist history of our cultural obsession with thinness. We’ve witnessed exciting representational wins for people of color and fat people…
In zombie movies it typically starts the same way — the character is acting completely natural one minute — then somehow either they are infected by an unlucky scratch or bite. Within minutes this individual is transformed from a rational human being into a terrifying monster.This quick, frightening transition is how I think about my obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) related anger outbursts. Ironically in one zombie movie (28 Days Later) the infection is actually called the “Rage” virus. That is exactly what it feels like when my “OCD Rage” takes over.AdvertisementMy spouse and I may be having a completely normal…

By Leo Babauta One of the things that really humbled me in recent years is the realization that I am often only halfway in on anything I do. I’m rarely ever really all in. For example, I might join a coaching program with the idea of trying it out, but not really sure if I can do it. Then when things start to get hard or overwhelming … I might be looking for the exit door, or hiding so I don’t have to be embarrassed. This is being halfway in, with an eye on the exit. Another example: I commit…
Rusty Burrell is making a name for himself in the running community by running as other athletes, but not in the bib-swapping sense. Burrell ran last weekend’s Broad Street Run dressed as Charles Barkley while dribbling a basketball in 1:31:55. Burrell, 37, covered last year’s Broad Street course dressed as 76ers legend Allen Iverson, a smidge slower, in 1:32:40.

While celebrities like Elon Musk have been open and honest about using Ozempic — aka the ‘skinny jab’ — to spark their weight-loss ambitions, Mark Wahlberg won’t be relying on weight-loss injections to carve out his washboard abs anytime soon.The 51-year-old actor, who’s known for his 4am workouts and strict fitness regime, recently told Page Six that when it comes to losing weight and building muscle, he favors the old-fashioned methods of exercising and eating well.”To each his own, but I do encourage people to eat right and exercise,” he said. “It’s much more [of] a lifestyle change. You’d be…
Whether it’s pre-workout, post-workout or just a small bite in the middle of the afternoon, one of the best ways to guarantee that a snack will keep you satisfied is to make sure it’s filled with a healthy boost of protein. Studies suggest that eating protein increases the body’s production of hunger-fighting hormones, which explains why high-protein snacks are so great at staving off hunger. But don’t worry — that doesn’t mean you have to rely on store-bought protein bars, boring hard-boiled eggs, and dry-roasted nuts. We’ve rounded up 15 healthy, filling and delicious snacks with at least five grams…
