I spent the entirety of the previous weekend in Los Angeles, California, and I had a wonderfull time. I was accompanied by Brittnee, Kelly, and Aaron. The adventure started off rather reluctantly with several problems interfering with the ignition of the trip. The morning of our departure I was supposed to transfer the title of my vehicle to my name and renew my tabs. This turned into an ordeal much bigger than it really should have been. First I drive out in source of the Auto Licensing center out on Mill Plain, and I managed to drive past it not once, but twice! I’ll write up more details on that and compile a collection of pictures so I can make a page dedicated to the story of the trip, with pictures!
The USDA some time ago decided the pyramid should be sideways, and that different people should use a different pyramid (wow). If you go to mypyramid.gov and enter some information about yourself you will be given a pyramid that is a little better tailored to you. The site itself provides a wealth of information on why it’s important to eat healthy and tips on what you can do to feel better about your dietary decisions. I’ve already printed a copy of this for myself and have posted it on the fridge with the intent of hopefully getting healthier eventually. My pyramid actually recommends that I have 2800 calories instead of the popularized 2000 calorie recommendation often seen way back in the day. I honostly don’t think I eat nearly that many calories which would sort of explain why I’m so sickeningly thin.
