I am slowly learning that healthy eating is more than a simple checklist to be followed… This is a post a wrote on June 22, 2012 but didn’t publish. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t quite ready to share it – I am now. Want to see something really cool?!? Take a look at this!… [Read More]
Bicycle Fit
Now that I am getting serious about cycling, some time spent tuning my bike to fit me was in order. I have seriously considered upgrading to a new bike but prices are kinda crazy so I’m going to run what I brung. The first thing that was immediately apparent after riding my bike for 30+ minutes… [Read More]
In the money

Tomatoes

I could argue that my fingers dance across a keyboard all day long and that should be plenty of exercise… but we all know that isn’t true…. [Read More]
Bread
As part of my new eating plan, I pretty much gave up on all bread. However; I was browsing thru the grocery store the other day and found something new (to me, at least). It is called Nature’s Own Multi-Grain Sandwich Rounds and is really good! Here’s the sandwich I made for lunch using this… [Read More]
