Second day of TJ's pandemonium. What's with these lines?!?!
Ideal Protocol weight loss system is working fantastically amongst my patients! So much fun!
Bad choices: DSL vs. Comcast - One can only hope that Verizon will expand FiOS service to Old Town Alexandria.
Verizon DSL keeps shutting off in the office today. Thank goodness for my iPhone. fail

Here's hoping that my friends have power tonight and that it stays on despite the strong winds...
I've seen ThunderSnow before, but never ThunderSleet. Amazing weather day...

Since I was born in the Chinese year of the dog, does this mean that I need a leash if I go for a walk in the snow tonight? :)
However, I do not need milk, bread or toilet paper. :)
I hate to admit it but I really do need to buy eggs. Waiting 'til 8 am... :
The roads are even treacherous for those of us from Buffalo. Stay indoors and stay toasty!

Please don't panic about the upcoming snow. Pretty please? ;)
I like to start each day with a 16 oz. glass of water. It's life-affirming.

Although I dearly love the people of Pittsburgh, I can't stand the Steelers. Go Packers!!! :D

Truckers should really exercise more caution during snowstorms on Interstates. Ease that pedal off the metal!
One of my siblings got blinded by a tractor trailer that was too close in a snowstorm. Driven into 6' snowbank in median. Everyone ok. Phew!
Just got word that my sister near Syracuse will get to -14 degrees tonight. DC is relatively balmy. :)

When people tell me that they don't have time to eat, I wonder if they have time to live.
"It's not how much we do but what we do that counts." - sign in my father's chiropractic office.

Hope give us the buoyancy to ride the storms of life.

One serving of pistachios has as much potassium as half a large banana.
A one-ounce serving of pistachios equals 49 nuts - more per serving than any other snack nut. @healthbychad @starzskymoon

So glad to see that freezing drizzle has turned to snow.
Ice on the car as I leave the office. Clear your cars, slow down and "drive friendly." :)
A few flakes bring out a lot of flakes!
To the idiot in the red Camry on Route 5 who nearly collided with me a 10 min ago: Pay attention, slow down & stay off the road!!! panic

Ha! Just realized that I meant to post "biochemical individuality" but it came out "bioindividuality." :) serendipity
Interested to see what happens to DC cell phone coverage today when the snow hits.
When employees of CareFirst BCBS refer to it as "CareLESS" there's a clear morale problem.
Clearly DC is not Western New York. So glad to have grown up in Buffalo.
Preparing for a *devasting* 2-4" snowstorm today. ;-) NotWNY
Looking forward to 11-11-11 (my brother's future birthday)

A day of fun with ideal dieters and ideal chiropractic patients. There is joy in service.

Never underestimate the alkalinizing power of vegetables.
A "serving size" of fruits or veggies is often defined as 1 cup.
Protein will satiate you more than carbs. Post-Chinese food hunger? Too little protein.
My father used to eat peanut butter on cabbage leaves. It's surprisingly tasty.
Raw carrots - better than a bagel but still a high carb veggie.
Baldness = faulty stem cells?: http://ping.fm/DLFhW
Clinical observation: Most women carb it up first thing in the am. Breakfast *needs* protein!
Here at Dr. Singer's office in PG County subbing while he recuperates.

This little carb addict is craving protein! Ain't that a kick in the bagel? :)
Started new IP diet today as a guinea pig to lose 10 lbs fat & gain 5 lbs muscle / game of inches rather than obsession with the scale. :)

I'm very optimistic about 2011. It has one of my favorite numbers in it - "11" :-D
Retail therapy = buying more stuff makes me feel better. (Temporarily...)
Magazine rack observations: Diet: Look good --> feel good, Tech stuff: Newest & best will make me feel good.
Overall impression of stores today: People want to feel good.
OH: She: "Do you want to go there?" He: "Probably not." She: "OK, Let's go! (That means *yes* to me)" :)
2011: So far, so good. Brisk walk, Salad brunch, organizing & planning...
