About Me

A visit to the West coast: San Diego.

This blog wasn’t always about nutrition. I used to weigh a lot more. After I lost my job, I had one of those “getting the last of my insurance” doctor’s visits, got on the scale and knew something had to be done. I got my sh*t together, landed another job, and started working out and eating right.

I was always interested in nutrition, but never had the confidence in my body to pursue a career in it. Even after I started shedding pounds and looking at master’s programs, I still wasn’t there and chose something that didn’t interest me.

Almost three years later, over forty pounds lighter, and some new eating habits later, I still had a serious love affair with nutrition. So I gave up the masters, my job & favorite town to pursue the career, hence the blog title. I guess I’m committed now.
