Would you rather read my straightforward and unbiased review of Food Inc.?  Or.... Would you prefer to read my personal thoughts and highly opinionated view of the subject matter presented in the movie?  Keep in mind that my personal opinion may piss you off. :)   Basically, do you want me to be more reporter [...]

I was quite disappointed to come home from work and see that it was pouring! The rain resulted in a delay on my long run -- it was a pretty insane thunderstorm and we lost power for  a few hours.  Oh, Florida in the summertime!  Hopefully, I can run tomorrow!   I snacked on a [...]

Last night on the way home from dinner, my friend Harry said to me, "You know, whenever I feel like I have a lot to do, I just picture you always running around like a headless chicken and I feel much better."  HAH! Thanks, Harry.   It's been a busy morning so far, and I'm [...]

Thank goodness it's Friday!  I have a packed day, but I'm really looking forward to my packed weekend.  :)   I woke up to a delicious breakfast: I made two Hodgson's InstaBake whole wheat waffles with a little dash of cinnamon added in. I topped my waffles with 1/4 cup Oikos yogurt, maple syrup, and [...]

Since Megan is injured and cannot go for a run tomorrow, we moved our Friday morning date up to Thursday night! We went to my favorite Thai place.  My friend Harry joined us as well! I started off with a Sing-ha beer and Megan and I split Spring Rolls: I ordered Tofu Pa-naag and Megan [...]

On yesterday's edition of Operation Beautiful, I posted an e-mail from Yvonne describing how she found an Operation Beautiful note:    "I was at the Philly Airport on July 6th on my way home to Oakland, Ca and found a post it in my bathroom stall with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt and this website [...]

Reading your responses to The Protein Question is so interesting!  Different diets work for different people.  I really like to learn more about different eating styles (which is why I read meat-eater blogs, vegan blogs, raw blogs...) and your feedback is very insightful!   So, now everyone knows that I'm a little paranoid when it [...]

Good morning!  I didn't go to sleep until really late (Twitter sucked me in), but I somehow managed to wake up early enough to go for a short run.   The goal this week is to increase my mileage over 10.0-miles per week.  I need to get over this hump so I can start doing [...]
