I’m a couple of days past the halfway point of my No (Added) Sugar Challenge that I’m undertaking for the month of February, so it’s time for another video update (if you missed it, you can watch my first update here)! You’ll have to excuse my hoarse voice – I got a cold from my daughter a couple of days … Read More

Nutrition Experiment: Wrap-up
An amazing thing happened today. I came home from work, had a light snack, took my time getting ready, and went for a run. And it felt great! Okay, not profoundly great.
