There's a lot of brouhaha about whether you should drink coffee if
you're trying to lose weight. I say that if you can avoid it, you
probably should. However, I only drink one cup in the am and consume
no other caffeine the rest of the day.
But I'm starting to prefer my exercise high!
Last night: chicken and tomatoes and spinach sauteed in balsamic
vinegar with sweet potato "fries." who says eating well can't also be
yummy?
Last August, I got my Wired magazine and was surprised there was a pretty, 20-something woman on the cover. The story was about Julia Allison, a blogger living in NYC -- where I was about to move. She's apparently one of the most hated people on the Internet, but, hey, that also means she's one of the most known people on the Internet. Anyway, I started reading her blog and have been hooked ever since. I also started reading her cobloggers' blogs, Mary and Meghan.
Mary may be a god-awful speller, which, sometimes makes her posts a bit hard to read for this grammar nazi, but her blog's gotten better and better. She also teaches occasional spin classes and is really into fitness. To that end, she's been devoting posts on Mondays for the past to weeks to fitness tips and secrets -- including how to set up your spin bike! Now, I've been taking spin classes for the past year and a half, but I never, never knew the handlebars were supposed to be below the saddle. I could feel if the seat was too high or too low, but that was the extent of setting up my bike correctly.
Yesterday, she asked for readers' favorite fitness blogs, so, learning from her coblogger, I took the liberty to do a little self-promotion and sent her a link to this here little blog, which she linked to! Hello NonSociety readers and thanks for visiting. Hope you like what you see, and feel free to let me know if you don't. (Which I'm sure you will.) I'm a professional writer, but still trying to get my blogging sea legs.
And thanks for the shout-out, Mary!
Then you add protein, veggies and a "bold flavor," which is something
like onions and peppers or tomatoes and basil.
I like it here because it's easy and healthy.
Today I got:
A little bit of brown rice - my stomach has been a little rumbly
lately, so hopefully this will settle it a bit.
Tofu
Chili
Peppers and onions
A wee bit o cheese
And some Guac. I'll check calories after I get back to work and let
y'all know later!

My last post talked about how to be hungover healthily. This weekend, I also over-indulged. I've been staying on track all week, but by the time the weekend comes, I want to let loose a bit. I think it's possible to do that healthily, but one needs to remember "everything in moderation." I sort of remembered that this weekend :)
