On Business Travel

April 11, 2013

Having traveled extensively for a previous job (how this blog got started!), I came to find that business travel was overrated, and it made me even more of a homebody than I already was. Since joining the current company I’m employed at, I haven’t had to travel at all until this past week. I spent [...]

Eating To My Metabolism – Revisited

March 27, 2013

Somewhere along the way, it seems like counting calories became a bad thing. At times I have felt guilty and embarrassed because I do so. Why do people who look down on this practice care? To each their own. It may not be something that works for everyone, but it works for me. Last Fall [...]

Five Days in Arizona

March 8, 2013

I’ve been to 16 of the last 19 years of Spring Training, and this year is the longest trip of all – 10 days. I normally make the annual pilgrimage to the Cactus League with my Bay Area cousins (and fellow SF Giants fans) but they weren’t able to make it this year. So instead, [...]

Gluten-Free Allergen Free Expo

February 12, 2013

One of the reasons I decided to stop eating refined sugar is because I made one too many visits to Zest, my local gluten-free bakery. And although I stopped making weekly visits, I still read their blog, which is how I learned about the Gluten-Free Allergen Free Expo. The expo was held over the weekend [...]

Need. Whole. Foods.

January 22, 2013

I wish I had kept a food journal (or at least blogged) during the time that I lost so much weight. What I recall about that period is that I was so disciplined in my eating habits — what I ate, when I ate, portion control, etc. I was never tempted by sweets or second [...]
