Happy New Year.....Same Old Me
It's funny. Ok....maybe it's not so funny. For 6 months, I obsessed over eating better and shuffling more. I hated...then loved...then hated...then loved my scale. I rode the daily emotional roller coaster of "becoming healthy". I lost 16 pounds! I shuffled faster...even placed in my age group in a couple races! I felt…

I wouldn't really call this a "success story"....
You know that place......? .....the place where you eat boat-loads of pizza, take less than 3000 steps a day, play video games for hours, eat ice cream and bags of Caramel Creams until your teeth burn?

Keepin' it Real: Scientific Data Week 18 (race report!)
I had a pretty good week last week! There were a couple caloric "bumps" in the road, but for the most part stayed within my calorie range....and if I didn't, I was able to shuffle off the excess!! In fact, I tend to commit myself to shuffling due to going over on my calorie intake almost daily.... (hmmm....guess I'm going…
