Hi. Today is my third day at my new job. This job is from home, regular full time employment. This job looks very interesting. I am right in the middle of training. And the best thing is the commute, a staggering 30 seconds that it takes me to turn the [...]

First, the lowlights. I never made it to the Expo because we had several family matters that required immediate attention. But, as you may know, I started working yesterday. Since my working hours start after 10 AM and I am working full-time from home, I decided that I could not turn into [...]

Today I decided that my diet needs a mayor overhaul. The way I discovered this was really a no brainer (the kind of no brainer that has to hit you over the head before you admit that you know what you know). It so happens that I drank a soda and right after [...]

A lot of things have been written about chocolate. Today is the one day of the Year when no one looks at you funny for eating chocolate. So I decided to give my often uneducated view on chocolate for the benefits of those who like me, are trying to get healthy and loose [...]

So, I went to see Ricky Martin on his last concert in PR. It was amazing. I don’t even like Ricky that much and I danced along and screamed like a teen ager. It was fun but unfortunately, Anna got sick and she did not enjoy it as much as I wish. [...]

Today has been a day of reflection for me. This thought process might be a little convoluted so bare with me. I just found out Anna Nicole died. She was 39. Oddly enough, I had just finished reading this story about a lawsuit based on Trim Spa and Anna getting sued [...]

If you have a sore calf muscle that cramps up every time you go walking, what do you do? I read somewhere that it might have to do something with dehydration or lack of potasium. But I eat one banana a day and I am drinking plenty of water. Should I be [...]

Today I went for my walk. I finally found out that the night walk is exactly three miles long and the morning walk is 2.8 miles. Easily resolved, a walk around my block either before or after the big walk in the morning completes the three miles. That is not the small [...]

Today, even though I did not get any sleep last night (insomnia), I took Anna to school by walking. I walked half way (0.6 miles) and then walked back. She walked the way up and down (which is aprox. 1.2 miles). Tonight we plan on doing our walk, which adds another 3 [...]
