Wearable fitness trackers are old news at this point. And while I still faithfully clip my FitBit into the left cup of my bra every morning it no longer has any affect on my behaviors. I am no more or less fit because of my little electronic pedometer, and you are delusional if you think … Continue reading Getting Fit: A Guide to Exercising with Technology
Beating the Heat
I haven't had pants on in a few years but today when I past the sign at the bank and it read 102 degrees (Fahrenheit, because you know, otherwise people would be boiling) I understood why I had the urge to take my shirt off as well but propriety and shit, so I suffered on. … Continue reading Beating the Heat
Ending It

I would have thought that this decision would have been more dramatic and, if the movies were even remotely close to true, I would need infinitely more ice cream (I went with wine, chocolate, … Continue reading Ending It
Benchmarking

Chant a personal mantra, breathe deeply while meditating on the positive things in your life, that kind of bullshit. But I'm not that kind … Continue reading Daily Affirmation
Happy Birthday because Facebook Told Me To Remember You

And if you are like half of those billion daily users you write a heartfelt message to … Continue reading Happy Birthday because Facebook Told Me To Remember You
God’s Plan
Yesterday, because I keep on top of current events, there was a congressional meeting thing with the head of the Fed, Janet Yellen. The discussion was about the potential raising of the interest rates (blah blah blah). One very intriguing thing did come of the entire governmenty thing, Representative Brad Sherman waxed poetic about when … Continue reading God’s Plan
