In fact, I would like to point out that next months meeting will be the 5 year anniversary of Square Pegs, so Mark and I will be cooking up something special. That would be a good first meeting for anyone who's been interested in coming but hasn't yet for one reason or another.

Thanks. I am not fit yet, mainly due to me not having the best diet. Trying to eat better is tough when healthy food up here is much more expensive. Continuing to work at it.

We actually see that quite often, it's so hard for us to work up the gumption to walk into a new thing that a few abortive attempts are pretty normal. Just let me reemphasize that the meetings are super low key, like cocktail parties with really odd and interesting conversations instead of inane small talk. We don't do a lot of structure at the Seattle meetings, we tried that in the beginning and it just didn't work for us, so there's no going around the room and introducing yourself or anything like that, just "here's a drink, have fun!".

take it from me, it doesn't have to be that expensive, it is about choices, what you choose to spend your food dollar on. a simple rule of thumb, is to simply avoid white foods. white foods are sugars and starches. so try to avoid table sugars. avoid gravies and pastas. avoid 99% of breads and crackers and such. the goal is to restore your body to a proper ph balance damned close to 7.3. it has been known for decades that too acidic a body ph will cause all manner of health ills/unwellness. so if you simply cut out the foods that your great-grandparents knew were bad back in the day, you will progress towards fitness much faster. just a suggestion.

Seattle Squarepegs just hit 500 members, which is pretty dang cool for our fifth year of existence. I'm so happy the weather has gotten nice, I can wear shorts again, and we can barbeque on the deck, which really helps with the noise level and crowd factor.
