fitgeeks | The diet and physical habits, in the framework of ecological selectionism, of the Lowland Machina (Reply)

I agreed to be interviewed by an Anthropology grad student in a survey about healthy eating/lifestyles on campus. It's tough to behave oneself when one is married to an anthropologist, and I thought hard about going into it before literature won out. (Also, I burn so easily! Books are in libraries, potsherds are usually outside in the dirt.) When he started off by asking me to write down and mark on a map where I go on campus during work and what I do each day to get meals, I struggled to not write "Foraging Habits".

The results of his group's study will go into a joint campus/Kaiser Permanente venture to improve the food and fitness offerings on campus. As an anthropologist, he was rather tickled by my mentioning this livejournal group (not by name, as it's invite only) and how we work together as a group to keep each other on target. It's funny how I work out best going by myself to the gym, but I still come back to checking in with all'y'all to keep positive and motivated in what I do.

And, hooray, hooray, the coordinator of the campus personal trainers finally called me back-- he's in the process of hiring two personal trainers, and will let me know ASAP when I can start working with one. Just the shot in the arm I need as it gets cold and High Calorie Season starts in earnest.
