[CPU] Happy Back to the Future Day

...but only if you read this on the day it was sent.

On My Mind

Chris Pirillo @ChrisPirillo

Great Scott! @UniAllAccess sent me a Back to the Future #BTTF35 care package (for free). It's heavy - and I'm not just saying that, because it's REALLY heavy!

Chris Pirillo @ChrisPirillo

This is INCREDIBLE!!! My own working hoverboard! Again, thanks to @UniAllAccess for providing everything shown (except for my favorite futuristic cap in that first photo). Remember: tomorrow (October 21) is considered 'Back to the Future Day.' How will you celebrate? #BTTF35

Chris Pirillo @ChrisPirillo

Everyone has to find their own groove. For me, part of it is adhering to functional limitations - completely avoiding certain things. Always comes down to watching caloric intake, however (trying to hit the mark without going over). Not easy. Not fun.

@ChrisPirillo I think your experience is the norm. Constant struggle. Family members that have done what I’ve done are in 20 pound fluctuating windows. I often yoyo 10 pounds this year.
