WOMEN AND INTERMITTENT FASTING: PART 1 (oR: The Tori blog)

Tori is another trainer I work with—but not as awesome as Will—who is also doing intermittent fasting. As far as I can see, I think she is making pretty good progress herself. She did tell me she was taking a weekly selfie, perhaps she will allow me to post her before and after pics. In

CARRIBEAN Vacay, Done!

Gordon Ramsey, of the popular reality cooking show, “Hell’s Kitchen”, used to have a British show called the “F Word”, which was one of my favorite cooking shows.

Destination: Aquamarine Beach House

After starting our day at 5:20 am and getting to the BWI Airport with 3 suitcases, a carseat, and a high chair, we are finally here at the Aquamarine Beach House; our home away from home for the next 7 days. Mr. Man did surprisingly well during our two flights. He ate, read, ran all

My Final Beach Story

Before we had Christopher, Kate and I took a lot of adventures together. From Canada, to Asia, to the Caribbean, we’ve explored, seen the sites, and gotten to know the locals.

Our Rehoboth Beach VaCay: Final Day

Wow, it’s the last day of our beach trip and boy has it been fun. The most pressing issue of this day: Get up early enough to get in line to get croissants from Cafe Papillon before they run out. Kate has been itching to get her hands on them the entire week. Papillon, which means

Beach Vacay: Day 4 and 5

Day 4 Remember I said in a previous post about our beach plan to get subs to-go from a place called Frank and Louie’s? Well, when we got there on Day 2 it was closed! We read that they would re-open on Thursday, so that meant that we had to wait two WHOLE days to

Mr. Man and the Sea

After spending time sight seeing in Lewes, DE on the first day, the temperature rose to a warm mid 80’s on second and third days of our beach vacay and we were finally able to get some sand time in Rehoboth. Day 2 On our second day, the plan was to get sandwiches from Frank
