Yup, you read that one correctly. It's a halfway, half-hearted or even half-assed attempt at living healthy with yours truly. Not because I don't care enough...hang on...I'm not entirely sure I do. Intensely care, that is. But since I drop the ball so often, I have to take a good, hard look at myself and... Continue Reading →
