About me

Introduction	Occupation: Graduate Student Goals: Conquering inequality in many areas, including healthcare, economics and education. Survive this term. Maintain current friendships while making new ones. Settle into my new apartment. Find a cheaper apartment for next year. Goals for this blog: I want to maintain a healthy lifestyle without constantly having to think about exercise and diet. I was so sick of reading health magazines (and Oprah) in which experts try to give "real life" suggestions that seemed so unreal. Of course they think that adding 20 minutes of weight lifting to a routine is not a big deal-- they work as personal trainers at a gym and get paid to look good! I am not a personal trainer or a nutritionist. My academic work is health related but a majority of my time is spent listening to a lecture or in front of a computer. I want to give myself an opportunity to experiment with the "real life" practices offered by professionals and decide which lifestyle changes maintain or better my health, which are totally unrealistic without a healthcare team assisting me and which I can at least laugh about for trying once they are over.
