Cure Talk
I'm a 30 year old (for now) aspiring writer who wants to get back in shape and learn more about being healthy. I hope that my journey can help others to live longer and fuller lives. Or at the very least, laugh a little and that's the best medicine, isn't it? 
Happy Spring everyone! Look who’s back! The last time I wrote (which was approximately 17 months ago) I talked about my latest cholesterol test and how the results were NOT good. Well I’ve been tested again. Let’s compare those results with my previous ones. Dec. 2011 Mar. 2012 Healthy range Triglycerides 117 250 <150 Total [...]
In honor of Hipster Ariel, this post will be in Helvetica. I hope you enjoy the change. Wait. I can’t control how the post is displayed. Only how it is typed. Oh well. Still, a great meme. Can you believe we live in a world where internet memes exist? I mean, they’re amusing, but what [...]
Hello friends. I’ve been married for a month and I’ve been back from my honeymoon for about two weeks. What a beautiful country Italy is. After being on the Amalfi Coast for 10 days, the lights of Orange County, California just don’t burn as bright. As was our aim, my new wife and I enjoyed [...]
Hi again. How was your summer? Good I hope. In my previous post (early July?!?) I said I would commit to writing and working out more consistently. Well like all men, I am a liar. In both respects, my efforts have been sporadic at best, non-existent at worst. But like Penny Lane said in Almost [...]
Hi gang. Remember me? It’s Scott, your CureTalk comic relief. Feel free to relieve yourselves. I haven’t written in a while, mainly because I haven’t worked out in a while. If you’re new to this space, or if you’d just forgotten, I’d been writing about (among other things) my quest to get back in shape [...]
Summer’s coming. If you’re just joining us, this blog is about my effort to get skinny enough to fit into the Brazilian bikini I bought for myself at Christmas…Wait, I’m a man. No, this blog is about me trying to get a halfway decent pool body for my Vegas bachelor party, now just a few [...]
We’re T minus 30 something days until Vegas. Crunch time. Meaning, time for more crunches. If you’re new to this space, a major subject I write about is my quest to get back in shape for my bachelor party. As I’ve said before, I don’t want to look like a chump at the pool. That’s [...]
Hello Friends. If you missed part 1, click here. Ok, I’ll recap anyway. I’m trying to get back in shape and pot should be legal for medical purposes, at the very least. My fitness regimen is going well by the way, nothing much new to report. I’ve done a couple of track workouts in thanks [...]
Before we get to things like the pharmaceutical industry and the utter farce that is the War on Drugs, let me quickly update you on the War on Skinny Arms and a Gut and No Pecs (read my earlier post,Circuit Training and Getting Ripped ). I’m entering my third week of training, working out four [...]
Well I’ve been working out. I can run about two miles and I only have to stop once to walk. Gotta start somewhere. I feel like I’m getting into the habit of working out, but I’ve felt that way before. I always end up getting distracted or disinterested and I have to start over time [...]
A friend of mine just said, “Everyone has their own path in life. You can’t compare yourself to anyone else.” That’s a nice thought. But what if I’m comparing my current 30 year-old self to say, my 24 year-old self? Mentally, yes, I’m a hair further along. But physically, I’ve regressed and that’s putting it [...]
