Walk from last weekend.

I’d been wanting to plot this out on the map to see what distance I covered. It was a beautiful day and I just kept walking. At one point I realized that I had to re-cover all the distance that I’d traveled to get back home.

My Favorite Type of Street Food

The Grilled Cheese Truck

My favorite type of street food…hmm. In the US I’d say it would have to be the grilled cheese sandwich I got from The Grilled Cheese Truck in LA. I happened to be visiting our Los Angeles branch during their Employee Appreciation day. Because of my impeccable timing I was able to take part in some of their festivities. I’m pretty sure I ended up getting the “Cheesy Mac and Rib”. Rib meat and macaroni, how can you go wrong there!?

In China I think my favorite street food so far has been Dou Pi (豆皮). I had this the first time I went to China, my brother knew this place and said that we had to go their for breakfast one morning. I was not let down. It was a delicious hot breakfast, kind of like a crispy hash brown with a meat filling.

What’s the Minimum Amount of Sleep you can get by on?

Sleeping with Bo

Today’s prompt: What’s the minimum amount of sleep you can get by on?

That’s tough to answer because it can very greatly. Sometimes I can wake up three hours after going to sleep and feel rested, other times it feels like I can barely function on eight. I think is much better appreciated in a quality measure, over quantity.

My Astrological Sign

The Design

My Astrological sign is Aquarius. I believe it means that I retain water. I've never really researched astrology to understand the thoughts around knowing and understanding the different signs and their supposed interactions in a persons personality.

The Most Important Thing I Learned This Year

Attraction

The most important thing I learned this year, is that I can be found attractive.

I don’t like to sound vain, but a year ago, I never would have guessed that I would be dating someone that finds me both physically and mentally attractive. I’m thankful that I was able to come as far as I have with my weight-loss goals and hope to be able to continue on to achieve my final goals.

What will be different in 2012

Brain

Life is pretty grand and I believe that 2012 will be…grander! 2011 was a year focused on the physical me. 2012 will involve a continuation of that focus but migrate to a full examination of the mental me. I feel it’s healthy to check-in with myself from time to time and make sure that I’m on the right paths and making the proper choices to achieve life goals.
