nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 15:34:28 -0400

I've been reading Michael Pollan's Ominvore's Dilemma and aside from a general desire to eat more healthfully, I have become very motivated to try and eat mostly organic and as local as possible. I really want to cut out as much processed foods a...

a pleasant time

nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 20:39:42 -0500

I've admired this funky clock above my acupuncturist's mantle since I've been there. Snapped a quick picture before I left today. I realize it's a bit fuzzy but well, I felt pretty relaxed when I finally took this picture. Day 005 Project 365 ...

RPE? WTH?

nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 07:36:27 -0500

nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 07:58:23 -0400

Or at least that's what the acupuncturist did last night! It was an interesting session. First we talked for about 40 minutes about all my "issues" which I didn't realize were so numerous until I started spitting them out. Essentially they fell i...

nobody@vox.com(Crystal) — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 07:32:14 -0400

Over the last year I have become extremely frustrated with my extraordinarily slow metabolism. I eat healthy, exercise for 45-60 min 4-5x a week (varying weights and cardio) but it doesn't seem to really put a dent into my weight loss efforts--an...
