		<description><![CDATA[I gave up coffee and sugar for Lent and, after an initial adjustment period that included withdrawal headaches, I found that life without stimulants is easier than I thought.  Because I enjoyed a steady, more even supply of energy, I vowed that I after Lent I would continue living this way&#8212;except for the occasional [...]]]></description>

While traveling, I didn’t get to exercise as much, but I made sure to do at least 20 minutes of yoga per day. I also did plenty of walking while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another source for the weather at Mt. Wilson, compliments of Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
I was planning on wearing a tank with a light windbreaker on this morning&#8217;s hike, but since this page reports a chance of drizzle and highs in the 50&#8217;s, I think I&#8217;ll add an extra layer.

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I’ll be missing our weekly hike tomorrow in favor of extra rest. Although I think it’s fine to continue exercising if you’re mildly sick, I want to avoid the moderately difficult conditions of the snowy, uphill trek. Instead, I’ll take a yoga class. All that deep breathing and gentle but challenging movement will do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well I finally broke my 2-year streak of dodging the flu and the common cold, and I’m very curious as to why it happened.
I have not been particularly stressed lately, though I’m far from stress-free. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been consistent enough with my wellness routine of exercise, meditation, and eating well, but I’ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I did something stupid yesterday. I went out in the cold, early morning and jogged to the Silver Lake Resevoir, jogged around the whole thing, and then hiked up some stairs along the way back. (All this after not having jogged for the past two weeks.)
 I probably didn’t warm up properly, and I certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There wasn&#8217;t a whole lot of hiking to recap, actually, as the freezing weather caught us off-guard. (We&#8217;re southern Californians, meaning that we shiver when the air conditioning dips below 78.) 
It&#8217;s still winter so I knew it would be cold, but snowing? Nah, that only happens in the movies. You have to drive at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lack of exercise is driving my batty. Ever since I began my new job, my workout frequency has dwindled to twice a week.  So, at a time when my stress level is increasing, my main stress-management activity is decreasing.  I must do something about this.
We’re going hiking today, and that should help. Exercise [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After not exercising in almost a week, due to my new work schedule, I made sure to attend the Saturday morning yoga class at my gym. I feared that I wouldn&#8217;t make it through the entire 90-minutes, but told myself that I could always take a break if need be.
Turns out I did all right. [...]]]></description>
