My Birthday Present to Myself

January 29, 2010 Odds and Ends

Today I complete another trip around the sun. As I mentioned in my weigh-in post this morning, today is my birthday – my 28th birthday to be exact. In recent years, I haven’t made a very big deal out of my birthday. We usually just have a small family party at the house, and that’s [...]

Saying adios to soda

January 20, 2010 Healthy Living

Not so long ago, I used to drink a lot of soda. I would guess probably a 6-pack a day. Granted, I always drank diet soda, but that’s really not much better.
