I live in Los Angeles, the capital of Smog and Trying to be Healthy. 5'9, I ignored my physical health for several years, assuming that since I didn't gain weight, I had nothing to worry about.

Hi! I'm a recent college grad and have just moved back north (SF area) from LA. I'm an active, not-quite-coordinated one who enjoys food and fun. I like to work out and try to eat as healthfully as possible. I'm a vegetarian. I do sports that aren't too seriously competitive (since I'm generally not very good at them). Snowboarding is fabulous. I run.

Time to get fit and healthy.
