I learned so much from her about the different types of diets and finding which one works for you. It’s a sad fact but as we age we need less calories (mostly due to loss of muscle and less active) so we need to find what works best for our bodies to keep healthy (lots of veggies\, fruits\, whole grans\, and lean protein)\, keep those extra pounds from sneaking on think Mediterranean\, and move more (150-300 minutes or 5 hours of weekly moderate-intensity movement with muscle-strengthening activities).\n\nFind Healthy Habits! Make AFWA your healthy habit as we hit most of the habits you need to be happy!\n\n* Time Management\n* Self-Monitoring\n* Goal-setting\n* Benefits and costs\n* Social Support\n* Alternative Behaviors\n* Positive self-talk\n* Environmental control * Thought-stopping\n* Planning\n* Stimulus control\n* Enjoyment\n* Convenience\n* Alternative behaviors\n* Self-nurturing behaviors\n* Stress Management\n\nJust look at these Happy Attendees!\n\n\n\nI look forward to seeing everyone this month as we try another new venue a little farther North.\n\nSincerely\,\n\nShelly Waddell\, President \nAFWA San Diego\npresident@afwasandiego.org\n619-729-8074 (mobile)

SUMMARY:AFWA Dinner & Speaker - March 21\, 2019 Blair Baker "The Smart Phone Who Knew Too Much!"
DESCRIPTION:AFWA Dinner & Speaker – March 21\, 2019\nBlair Baker “The Smart Phone Who Knew Too Much! And Other Perils of Mobile Media.”\nJoin us at True Food Kitchen in Fashion Valley with guest speaker Blair Baker \nThere is a new “syndrome” out there. It is called “CyberSecurity Fatigue.” Maybe you have it. Symptoms include: a soft glazing over of the eyes and thoughts of creating drinking games whenever you hear terms like “BYOD\,” “Ransomware\,” “phishing attack\,” and “breach.” Severe cases include people sticking their fingers in their ears and crying “la-la-la” until that mean old security person\, or newscaster\, goes away\, or tuning out and tuning into your favorite social media on your smart phone…but isn’t it what we are talking about…and you can’t “opt-out” of CyberSecurity….\nWhat causes it? Is it serious? Is there a way for us mere mortals to understand what is real about our phones and what is hysteria? What do they want from my phone? I am not a Zuckerberg\, why would anyone really be out to get me? Is there anything I can do to protect myself\, my business\, my kids without spending money?\nFind all answers\, and perhaps a chuckle or two\, in this session. \nBlair Baker\, CIO 1903 Solutions \n\nA Digital Age Sherpa\, Blair Baker is the Chief Technology Evangelist / CIO at 1903 Solutions (and an Adjunct Professor at CSUSM) with focus on CyberSecurity Awareness\, Cross-Team Collaboration\, and Digital Transformation.

Blair is a frequent speaker on the Multi-Generational Workforce\, the Future of \nCorporate IT\, Digital Transformation\, bridging the business IT divide\, and security strategies for non-technical executives at many leading industry events and diversity groups\, including Athena\, California Technology Summit\, INTERFACE\, AccountingDay\, AITP Cloud Conference\, and other events. \nBlair can be found freely collaborating and sharing on Twitter\, Facebook\, Instagram @BlairBakerCO and Linkedin BlairBakerCO. \nCPE for Information Technology – Technical\, Basic Level\, No Prerequisite \n  \n  \n  \nTrue Food Kitchen – Fashion Valley Mall \nAppetizers – Herb Hummus (VEG) Greek salad\, feta & grilled pita bread \nBeverage – Water\, Ice Tea and Coffee \nEntree:\nGrilled Fish Tacos (GF) grilled mauritius island redfish\, tomatillo avocado salsa\, pickled jicama\, dried sweet corn\, coconut lime yogurt\, anasazi bean \nLasagna Bolognese (GF)- fennel chicken sausage\, mushroom\, spinach\, lemon ricotta\, herbs \nTeriyaki Quinoa Bowl w/chicken\, broccoli\, heirloom carrot\, bok choy\, mushroom\, brown rice\, avocado\, toasted sesame \nTeriyaki Quinoa Bowl w/tofu (V) broccoli\, heirloom carrot\, bok choy\, mushroom\, brown rice\, avocado\, toasted sesame \nGrass-Fed Burger with unami\, mushroom caramelized onion\, arugela\, parmesan\, mayonnaise\, flax seed bun – Choice of Kale Salad or Sweet Potato Hash \nChopped Salad (VEG) – medjool date\, dried cranberry\, jicama\, apple\, manchego cheese\, farro\, marcona almond\, champagne vinaigrette \nGF-Gluten Free\nV- Vegan\nVEG – Vegetarian \nAFWA Members $35.00 and Guest $40.00 \nDon’t forget to purchase your Scholarship Drawing Tickets for some awesome Prizes! \nScholarship Prizes\n$455 Facial Spa Pkg – Alvarado Skin Care Institute\nSephora Gift Card & Assorted Beauty Samples-Rebecca Tilghman\nMore Prized to be announced! \nRegister by March 14th for the Early Bird Drawing! \nClick on the link below to register or RSVP \nRegister Now! \nCome join AFWA as we are going to be a part of several upcoming events: \nHerPower at UCSD Extn on Tuesday\, March 12th 5:00 – 8:00 PM\nto register: extension.ucsd.edu/her-power \nBusiness Women’s Mega Mixer on Thursday\, March 28th 5:30 – 8:30 PM\nto register: Business WomensMegaMixer.com \nAccounting Day 2019 on Monday\, May 13\, 2019\nto register: AccountingDay.regfox.com/accounting-day-2019 \nIf you’d like to volunteer for Accounting Day 2019 and be able to attend the luncheon and classes for free in exchange for a couple of hour of volunteer work then please contact me. \nSincerely\, \nShelly Waddell\, Vice President\nAFWA San Diego\nvicepresident@afwasandiego.org
