BigRigg Challenge : Week 1 weigh-in
Published on Nov 6, 2009 - In: BigRigg Challenge| Health| me
Well, it was the first week of the BigRigg Challenge, and I weighed in this morning. Here are the results:
Maybe I should not have had Taco Bell for dinner the other night. In fact, there are a few areas I can pinpoint that might have led to a small number as my loss. I did jog twice, which of course is always good.
So, I lost 1.2 pounds. I am cool with that because hey, it’s a loss. Maybe I can double that number next week. Here are my stats:
- Initial Weight: 241.4 lbs
- Weight after this week’s weigh-in: 240.2 lbs
- +/- : -1.2 lbs
- Total lost: 1.2 lbs
Good luck to everyone else, and make sure you link to your weigh-in in the linkbox down below! OR, just leave some info in the comments!

An easy, low cost way to get rid of dandruff
Published on Nov 3, 2009 - In: Found Online
It’s getting close to winter time, and for some folks that means having a flaky scalp and a small-to-nonexistent collection of dark shirts. There are plenty of shampoos out there that can help get rid of dandruff, but Lifehacker recently pointed out one method that is low-cost, and although a bit odd, probably will not require you to go out and buy anything.
What you need:
- 3 tablets of Aspirin
- something to finely crush it with
- A spray bottle
- warm water
You can probably figure this out on your own, but what you do is take the aspirin and very finely crush it up. Then, you dissolve it on a spray bottle full of hot water. Before you shampoo in the shower, spray your scalp evenly with it. Then shampoo like you normally would.
Seems easy enough, right? So do YOU struggle with dandruff in the cold months?
Any secrets?

Movember = Mustaches for a good cause
Published on Nov 2, 2009 - In: Current Events| Found Online
My buddy Mackalicious over at Blogging Pantsless informed me of a great charitable cause that he is taking part in this month. From his site:
The Movember Foundation was created to raise funding for men’s prostate and testicular cancers. In doing so participants grow a mustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in the form of donations.
The money raised in the U.S. will be split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:
• the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
• research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.
The website has some videos that explains it more, but if you want to, you can show your support by growing a mustache for the entire month of November. Ladies, if you can pull this off, go for it, I guess. But if not, then you can recruit other guys to participate.
If you want to show your support financially, please do it through Mackalicious’s donation page. He might even send you an autographed copy of a picture of him in his Sunday best.
