The engineering team at NetStruxr goes out for lunch every day. Since I started working here, I've been joining them. (The food is almost always great, and so is the conversation.)

Since I started working here, I've been gaining weight.

Today I stayed behind, with a nice homemade chicken salad for lunch. I HAVE to get back to my diet, so this is a necessary step. Now I just have to find a gym somewhere close to home so I can start exercising again.

The other benefit is I won't be spending so much money on food. I didn't budget for eating out when I decided to move down here, and some of the places in the area are pretty expensive.

It's not easy being a single-income family in San Francisco.
