Some random facts about me:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can wiggle my ears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wish I was a good cook. I really suck at cooking. I’m trying to follow recipes more and the practice is helping. But I have no intuitive sense about cooking at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I realized a few days ago that I’m going grey. I’m only 35!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I exercise every day without fail. I might miss 1-2 days a month, but its rare. Now, lets be clear, I’m not running marathons every day. I typically do about 30 minutes of something: pilates, walk on treadmill, yoga, stretching, elliptical, etc. Some days I sneak a bit more workout time in, and those days are great. I actually really love exercise and everything it does for me. It helps me be more energetic and cheerful.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t like milk chocolate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite foods are sushi, pizza, brownies, ice cream, and espresso.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I eat gluten, soy, and dairy free even though I have no diagnosed allergies or intolerances. The reason I do this is because I had some ongoing digestive issues that seem to be resolved by cutting these things out. I hope to work dairy back in, and I occasionally sneak soy sauce (mainly with sushi). Generally speaking I feel healthier when I cut these foods out. I started this in mid-february 2010 at the advice of a health coach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite place in the world is Hawaii. I could be anywhere in Hawaii and I’d be happy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get migraine headaches. I have gotten them since I was a young child. I never really believed that food triggered migraines because I could not see any patterns with the foods I ate. In my 30s, my migraines got really bad. I was forced to start doing research on possible triggers. Starting in 2004, I eliminated several foods (msg, cheddar cheese, sausage, etc.) out of my diet and saw immediate relief. I am down to 2-3 migraines per month, which is actually really good compared to how it used to be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I work in HR. You’ll almost never hear me talk about work. Its not that I don’t want to vent about my day, and it sure as hell isn’t that I have nothing interesting to say – - - its that I shouldn’t vent here for legal and confidentiality reasons.
