The company I work for (VSP Vision Care) subsidizes our gym membership...we pay just under $6 a month, but the gym's records have to show that we go to the gym on average 2 or more times a week. If it drops below that average we have to pay full price until we get our quarterly average up again (motivation! heh). They can then show our insurance ... See Morecarriers exactly how many of their employees work out how often, which lowers the insurance rates...which more than pays for the gym membership subsidy. Win-win!

Just bought a new pair of running shoes. My husband and I decided that maybe if our insurance would pay for more running shoes every 6 months......! What would happen?

Bingo!

... then you are in that group whose probability is less than alpha! : )
I'm teaching stats/rsch. methods and have used your explanations as examples. I love a columnist who explains the methods and statistics instead of just saying "this is". Thanks!

Our company just announced a new vending machine program to promote healthy eating and discourage bad choices ~ it's a start!

Read that article yesterday. Interesting concept.

Yes, that caught my attention as well! Thanks for posting.

lard = made with dead animal fat. lard = sad, dead animal pie. I'd rather risk my arteries. :-) It's not like I eat pie every day (in my dreams!). (And yes, my family is from the south, so lard is the only way pie is made according to family tradition.)

Ah yes, definitely not for vegetarians! I'd eat pie every day in my dreams, too.

I hope I made clear in the episode that it's NOT necessary. It's just an option. Sounds like you're on the lower end but still well within recommended range.

Yes. Your podcast was very clear about it. No problem there. It's just that I kind of knew I was on lower side and wanted to see if I could go up on protein in-take but couldn't. I am not really vegetarian but after reading Michael Pollan's books, don't feel like eating meat and without meat it's difficult. That was my only point.

Sorry, no calorie counting for me today. My mother makes the most delicious pumpkin cheese cake; but only once a year.

Happy Turkey Day to you also, & I will watch out for the pie. When I see it, it will be all over for the pie. :-)

I actually like running in light rain.. refreshing

just hit a minor setback in my thanksgiving preparations, having removed the tip of my thumb with my chef's knife. You totally lose points for that in cooking school.

OMG. I did that to both of my middle fingers with a mandoline. Of course, I can't believe that you posted to FB while bleeding profusely. Now that's dedication to the new technology.

You just got my vote! I LOVE your podcast - thank you for all your work!
