I eat really, really healthy about 80% of the time, and when I'm at work, it's 100%. I don't have much choice but to eat what I bring with me, because my dietary restrictions keep me from eating take-out or a quick sandwich from the cafeteria. As I've mentioned a few times recently, I'm working …

I've decided to bring back Three on Thursday again. Mostly because it's a pretty easy way to get a good post in 😊 Three Things that make me Happy - PTO time. You can use a PTO day for anything. I decided when I saw my Friday was pretty open, to see if I could …
As I type this, I'm watching the clock, and the sun, while I rub my tired eyes. I've mentioned a few times before how I have a weird sleep pattern. It's less of a weird pattern, and more just that I'm a terrible sleeper. In the last 3 months of FitBit data, it turns out, …

But here's the thing: I'm allergic to all that stuff. Starting this past …
Ok, so I know this seems like a pretty obvious statement, but every once in a while you need a little reminder. The last few weeks (let's be honest here, it's verging on months) have been really tough for me mentally. And I'd started to find myself dreading each day, because I was tired of …
Friday morning, I sat in a 3 hour meeting where people had brought in items for breakfast. There were massive muffins, bagels with a bevy of topping options, hummus and pita chips (apparently someone thinks this is breakfast food), and lots of coffee. I brought what remained of my apple cinnamon protein muffins, knowing I …
