Replay
Replay was originally published back in 1986, but I just found out about it last month. It’s about a forty-three year old man named Jeff Winston who dies while at work only to wake up back in college. The only difference is that he remembers everything from his previous life. What if you could live your life over again?

MyFitnessPal Calorie Counter
One of my goals for 2015 was to lose about 15 pounds and get down to 170. I’ve realized over the years the losing weight is 90% diet and 10% exercise. I get plenty of exercise, but I mindlessly eat more than I should. I decided to start tracking my calories to help me be more mindful of what I am eating. I had typically used Lose It!, but I decided to give MyFitnessPal a try based on a recommendation from a friend.
