Hi Everyone, So I really wanted to blog yesterday (it's 1am now, so it's technically tomorrow..or maybe it's today?) :) .  I have a huge presentation tomorrow/today and had more to prepare than I've had to prepare in years.  So I'm still not in bed...I still haven't blogged...and I can't even admit how long it's been ...

For those of you that received my newsletter a few days ago, I challenged you to test your potato expertise.  How much do you know about America's favorite veggie?  Well, now is the moment of truth.  How did you do?  1.  What percentage of a potato’s nutrients are found in the skin? A) 50%, B) more than ...

Hi Everyone, I wanted to do a quick post to let you know that plans to start P90x, though delayed, are completely in motion.  It's generally my nature to beat myself up when commitments are even postponed, but I'll reiterate that on this one, because I've been forced to be way more active than ever imagined ...
