“When writing the story of your life, don’t let anyone else hold the pen.” ~Unknown
After my kids grew up and I moved to the city from the suburbs, I became somewhat of a professional dater. I was determined to make up for lost time after over a decade as a single mom, and I was optimistic about my future.
My hopes were dashed almost immediately. Relationship after relationship crashed and burned, rarely lasting more than a few weeks. As soon as they’d walk out the door, sometimes within minutes, I’d fire up whatever dating website I was on at the time and begin again.
I’ll never forget writing a new profile with a box of Kleenex on my lap and taking breaks to cry. I went out on dates feeling like the walking wounded, thinking that was the best thing to do. Just get back on the horse as soon as possible.
After hundreds of dates and a long-term relationship, I found a better way to navigate breakups. The next time a relationship ended, I was determined to take the opportunity to build a better life for myself instead of simply running out to see who I could date next.

On October 11, 2016, the first manuscript describing a treasure trove of genomic data contributed by members of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership for Alzheimer’s Disease (AMP-AD) Target Discovery and Preclinical Validation Consortium was published in Nature Scientific Data. The publication of the datasets and their description are part of an NIH-wide effort to bring together big data and experts from diverse disciplines to better understand dementia, as well as other chronic conditions….

Good morning! Let’s mix it up with another Day in the Life post today. As you guys know, I split my time between the blog and my AnneTheRD nutrition counseling private practice (as well as its associated programs, like my Joyful Eating Program). Here’s what I was up to on Tuesday!

How’s this for holiday cheer? A Santa in North Carolina reportedly told a 9-year-old boy, “Lay off the hamburgers and french fries.” While the comment is laughably ironic coming from Santa (he eats milk and cookies all night long), it’s also all sorts of messed up—and it reminds us of a bigger problem too.

There’s no escaping sweets around the holidays (not that we’d want to). And we all seem to have that family member who takes it upon themselves to ask us, “Do you really want seconds?” Saying something that makes others feel guilty about how much (or little) they eat only makes things worse. If you’re legitimately concerned about a relative’s health, bring it up one-on-one, not at the dinner table. You can bet if anyone asks us if we really need that second piece of pie, they’ll get a piece of our minds too.

Hey guys! Matt and I had another low key weekend at home, starting with some Friday night soup!
We made a delicious sausage, squash, and veggie soup that was from last week’s Sun Basket (<- affiliate link for 3 free meals) delivery. This was one of our favorite meals so far – so good! Perfect for a cold night. Reminded me of my Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili (<- recipe)!
