DST: Spring Forward
March 10, 2013It’s that time of the year for US and Canada! or as Nomo would say “No Mo Time!”
Some people like it, some people don’t like it.
The nice thing about DST is that despite losing the hour you are an hour closer to something you’ve been anticipating. For example: WOOHOO 1 hour till Xpm and I can head home) and the sun is out during the early evenings.
Set back your clocks and make sure to double check and confirm times with colleagues as well for meetings this week!

Work Out Corner
March 5, 2013Elliptical – great thing about it is it’s small and you can plop it in front of your TV or computer
3lbs. Dumbbells
Adjustable Dumbbells (Handmydowns from Mr. Shay)
15lbs. Kettlebell
Exercise Mat
All these items available online. If you’re creative enough you can get them cheaper at bargain stores like Ross or Marshall’s, Craigslist, a Garage Sale or Goodwill.
Did you know you pay more for your insurance if you’re overweight?
Staying fit is also saving money!

The Biggest Loser
March 4, 2013In lieu of a gym membership and trainer, ABL has her work out corner.
For motivation, ABL watches The Biggest Loser.
It’s great seeing these people transform. See Michelle from Season 9.I enjoy watching the trainers Bob, Jillian and Dolvett motivate the contestants. Each week is a breakthrough and a challenge. Currently it’s on every Monday at 8pm. If ABL misses it, she catches previous episodes on HULU.
HEALTHY BODY = HEALTHY MIND = BETTER DECISION MAKING (SMART SHOPPING)

Babo Bear from Yoyamart
March 2, 2013ABL has always been a fan of the Uglydolls.
This month, David Horvath announced the release of Babo Bear.
Uglydolls is now a huge company. They decided to have the plush company GUND do their doll distribution.
Instead of waiting for it to hit the bigger chain stores, Shay Fei Fei purchased Babo Bear from Yoyamart one of the small business specialty shops. There used to be two shops here in the San Francisco Kidrobot and Giant Robot. However, they closed down because there was not enough support to keep them open.
If you don’t want your local stores or the smaller guys to shut down and disappear, you should support them by buying from them.
If you have something in mind and can afford it, buy from the smaller businesses when you can!
