  • San Francisco Bay Area (norther california)! Pros: You are driving distance to the ocean and to the maintains. In the winter we ski and in the summer we surf or lounge by the water. I live in a suburb about 20 min from San Francisco so if we want a night on the town (some of the best food in the US is in SF) it's a short…

  • I'm an addict myself :) I use a coffee presser and use just two scoops of fresh ground beans (vs recommended 6). I also switched to vanilla flavored soy milk....I know soy milk is an acquired taste - but give it a try! Good luck!

  • Technically a pound is a pound...so I shouldn't say muscle weighs more. A pound of feathers or a pound of butter - they're both a pound, right?

  • A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith. It's about a little girl growing up in Brooklyn in the early 1900's. I love to read stories set in prior generations - it's amazing (and a good reminder) to see how far we've come as a society with everything from women's rights and racism to technology.

  • Hi Christine - I recommend to things to help you achieve balance. Find a new outlet - maybe it's running, or pilates, etc...find something you love and do it w/a group so you meet other folks w/the same passion as you.
