 Dear Diet Diary,

 I didn’t lose any weight this week and was feeling a bit discouraged. I asked Alice if she thought my progress was normal or if it was particularly slow, because I have friends who are losing faster doing different programs. Alice and I went through some of the “quick-fix” options and discussed the pros and cons of each one. Here is an overview of what we discussed.

Everyone knows that stress is inevitable. Be it a tough class, drowning under deadlines, or worrying about tuition, stress happens.

While according to the calendar winter starts on December 21, per my calculations it is already here, making it the perfect time to winterize your home.

Boulevard ALP has maintained the familiar sight of its Executive Director Howard “Bruce” Neufeld since its inception a decade and a half ago. He has exemplified how comfortability and care go hand in hand with a frum lifestyle. Since late 1979, Bruce has been involved in the assisted living industry, and his stalwart dedication at the helm of the Boulevard ALP is a testament to this legacy of passion and ardor for the aging community. As a founding father at the entirely kosher assisted living facility located just outside of Kew Gardens Hills, nestled in the center of Queens, Bruce redefined five-star service and quality. Each day at Boulevard was a new adventure filled with smiles and laughter where Bruce was fully involved with all members of the facility – residents and staff alike.
