At the office, I keep a drawer specially dedicated to my food stack. I call it the “survival drawer”, because it is necessary for my survival, and the survival of others. Let’s take a closer look, shall we? 1. First and most important: coffee. I keep a bottle of instant coffee at all times, because … Continue reading »
Week round-up #4
This week has been weird as far as working out goes. It started out really badly, but it ended on a high note. All and all, I feel that I returned to my 5 workouts/week routine, which makes me happy. Monday, April 23rd: 1.53 miles in 20 minutes. Pretty much from the get go, my … Continue reading »
Kids 4 Kids 5K: race recap
This morning, I ran the Kids 4 Kids 5K race. I was pretty nervous about it, because I was afraid that my leg would start hurting again and I would have to take an extended break from running. Fortunately, nothing happened, the leg held its own and it didn’t feel any tight until the very … Continue reading »
Things that annoy me today
1. Being in risk for something does not mean that this something will necessarily happen to you. Point: – Being overweight/obese increases your risk for cardiac problems. – Smoking increases your risk for cancer. Being in risk does not a causal effect make. It just means that you have an increased probability that something *might* … Continue reading »
I am in pain, so I can complain as much as I want
This is a post in which I complain. About bad luck and first world problems. So, abandon all hope all ye who enter here. Or just, you know… skip the post. Yesterday, after the longest time, I felt the urge to run a race. Maybe not necessarily “race” it, but join a fun event with … Continue reading »
Week round-up #3
This has not been a good week. Not good at all. I think I jinxed it. How random do you think it is that Donald Duck is my favorite cartoon character? To get this out of the way: Monday, April 16th: 6 miles on the elliptical. Wednesday, April 18th: 4 miles around school. … And … Continue reading »
Breakfast WTF
I am no registered dietician, no doctor, no specialist. However, I am interested in nutrition, I do research various online sources, some more credible than others, and I do make a decent guinea pig out of myself. One of the first nutrition tidbits I ever read was that protein provides more long-lasting satiety than carbohydrates … Continue reading »
Home alone
Seriously, there is no better feeling than returning home and be greeted by an empty house. *Your* empty house. Your super empty and super quiet house. Well… as quiet as a house in south central LA can be. To not be obliged to talk to anybody. To not be obliged to do anything fun. To … Continue reading »
Week round-up #2
This has been a weird week. On top of being pretty busy at work, I was also hosting a friend from Greece, who decided to spend Easter week in LA. Not that I skipped work. I couldn’t have done it either way. But I did try my best to leave work earlier than usual and … Continue reading »
Blast from the past
Last night I attended the one and only Metal Masters Tour. It was such a good show! Albeit a little bit too short, since his highness Kerry King did not honor us with his presence but an hour late. Still, all is forgiven when representatives of 4 of the greatest thrash/heavy metal bands play on … Continue reading »
