Spending $100, for example, on a Rains mens waterproof jacket, may initially make you question why you would spend so much on one item, versus a lesser known brand at $50. If you have not heard of the cost per wear formula, it calculates the cost of the item by the number of times it is worn – Using the previous example, wearing the $100 jacket, 100 days per year for a total of 5 years gives it a cost per wear price of $0.2 per wear. However, using the $50 jacket for a 100 days but only for one year, and you are left with a cost per wear price of $0.5.

The body, then, to combat this gap in energy coming in and energy going out, will lower its energy expenditure (resulting in weakness and fatigue as mentioned before) and will increase its signals for more energy-rich foods (feeling of hunger). The body will regulate a decrease in the metabolic rate when experiencing a decrease in the dieter’s total daily energy expenditure due to metabolic changes taking place during weight loss. Developing healthy habits, rather than jumping into a new strict, but temporary diet every few months (also referred to as yo-yo dieting) will increase the likelihood of weight loss retention and drastically lower your body’s natural metabolic adaptations. This doesn’t discount the benefits of dieting, rather serves to highlight the necessity of consistent healthy dieting habits, rather than fluctuating back and forth between one strict regime or another (whether it’s from one diet to another or bouncing back and forth from dieting to indulging).

I don’t care if you celebrate Halloween at work, but for the love of god, please do not ask your Human Resources team to plan the party. Every minute spent planning a party is a minute that could be spent saving your company from implosion. Do you want your HR team focused on the profitability of your organization, or do you want them worried about who’s bringing potato salad to the party? If someone comes to work looking like a sexy goth cheerleader or a pimp, send that idiot home.

The recent problems with guys like Anthony Weiner, John Ensign, and Arnold Schwarzenegger have me thinking about love & passion & sex & romance & work. but I’m not sure because CNN didn’t cover it and my family is passive-aggressive like that. If you are a single guy at the office and a woman flirts with you, that’s a pretty big deal. but if a cute intern who likes great music and watches Dawson’s Creekwants to hook up with you, you forget about a bunch of arbitrary office rules that probably don’t apply to you and you say yes.
