On Excuses & Resolutions: Online Fitness and HCG Diet
I know I’ve mentioned in my past blog post in August that I’ll go on a reboot and post more often. Heck, I promised to post as often as I used to back when I have started this blog early 2000’s.

On my Fifth week.

FLY PROJECT: On Sleep and Caffein Punch.
I have a confession to make, I haven’t been sleeping according to schedule. Crawling to bed was the easiest part however snoozing my way to dreamland is a different story.

Truthful to my capabilities, compartmentalizing and zooming in to what matters. I left the employment world once again … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago we went to dinner at The Green Chile in Boise (which was delicious, and highly recommended) and JJ ordered a combo that included … [Read more...]
