Eat less, move more

I hate math. I really do. Considering math has been a big part of my professional life since my first full time job is ironic. Laughable, really. It rained all day here yesterday, which I gather is a rare thing in October in Southern California. Um, so yeah, all you Californians who laughed that our [...]

Pre-workout snack attack

In the spirit of really trying to work my Weight Watchers program, I am tracking my food and meeting my goal of going to the gym at least three times this week. Tonight will be the second visit. Since this means I won’t eat dinner or I will eat it very late, I brought along [...]
