Registered Dietitian Quote of the Week: “Flax Seeds Are a Waste of Calories”

One of the many things I dig about my girlfriend – other than when she actually dressed up as Princess Leia the night we attended Star Wars in Concert last winter – is the fact that like me, fitness is a passion of hers. Some couples like to play Sudoko together. Other couples like to… Read more

Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: Technology, Locksmiths, Shape-Ups, and a Little Teaser

1. First things first, as many of you know I’ve been contemplating getting a new Macbook for a few weeks now, and after doing my research – as well as little coaxing from a few friends, clients, and colleagues – I bit the bullet and bought one yesterday. So far, all I have to say… Read more

Miscellaneous Miscellany Monday: I Love Eggs Song, Karate Kicks to the Face, Tracking Progress
