  • Noonan’s ’17 “Kick Start your New Year” Menu

    As her father says, the Ina Garten of B-More. One of the biggest benefits of being married to an opera-singing-Irish-wordsmith is her prowess in the kitchen. Her mother, who is closest thing to Martha Stewart without actually being her, is one of the best cooks this side of kingdom come; Noonan (my wife) soaked up…

  • The Best Exercise and Diet Routines for 2017

    As the New Year approaches, in the first few months, we will once again obsess over working out and eating right. The problem is that by Febuary,/March most of us will have foregone our health/fitness resolutions. The secret to achieving any goal can be summed up in one word: consistency.

  • When I started to think about using which diet I was to use to win my bet against Will, here were my choices: Veggie and Protein (Kate calls this the “Joyless Diet”) AM starchy/PM fibrous carbs Ketogenic diet Intermittent Fasting In my attempt to get super lean, a common denominator in most diets is that…

  • It has been week 12 of my IF experiment; boy, the time has flown by. During the last three months a few momentous things have occurred: My 9 month-old baby boy has gone from wearing 12 months clothing to 18 months. Kate’s weight has dropped down to 111lbs from chasing Mr. Man (Christopher) around the…

  • I can’t believe it has been 17 weeks and only one more day to go till JUDGEMENT DAY. I have to admit I have been mired in a bit of misery like George Constanza on Seinfeld this past week because I have been eating like a rabbit on a diet. All I can see is…

  • Tori is another trainer I work with—but not as awesome as Will—who is also doing intermittent fasting. As far as I can see, I think she is making pretty good progress herself. She did tell me she was taking a weekly selfie, perhaps she will allow me to post her before and after pics. In…

  • After watching one of our favorite reality shows, the Bachelor, I usually tune into watch the rest of The Biggest Loser (TBL).
