In defense of food blogging
Last week there was an article in the New York Times, that pretty much everyone who as ever met me and seen me snap a photo of my daily nosh sent to me…it was announcing food blogging as a trend. Thanks NYT, but I think the word is out. Anyway, someone (not me) wrote about [...]
Read more »In Defense of a Friend
I hope she won’t mind me discussing this, but a friend and I had a conversation today about a writing assignment she just published that just seemed so ripe for further discussion. This particular friend writes about healthy, happy living, for a living. All in all, I consider this friend a source of constant inspiration. [...]

There are things in life that are just plain embarrassing…one thing in particular has always inhibited me from doing certain things, like ab work and yoga in public. I’m working to get over it, because, well, adding a regular yoga practice to my life has really been a wonderful boon to my strength and mental health. [...]
Read more »DVD Review: Element Yoga for Beginners
There are two subtitles that are interchangeable on just about any and every exercise video released. One is “for beginners” the other is “for weight loss.” They don’t really mean anything, but they sound good and aren’t particularly intimidating. By far the most consistently awesome Exercise video series I’ve done has been the Element series. [...]

I tend to think that I’m pretty well in-tune with nutritional information, and with how that info relates to my body, but you learn something new everyday. I’ve been dealing with a lot of bloat and being a bit “backed-up” (sorry, I’m trying to make this as non-gross as possible) for a while. By awhile, [...]

Last week a friend went to her hair dresser. Said friend has always been naturally thin. She has also spent the last few months travelling around, and subsequently gained a bit of weight. Honestly, I didn’t really notice, but she’s complained to me about it, and regardless of whether or not I think she “needs” [...]

So, I’m thinking of changing the theme of my blog. From now on I’m going to eat as much crap as humanly possible, sit on my couch 100% of the time, and see how much weight I can gain? That sounds good, right? Note to self: The day after you return from vacation is not [...]
Read more »Diet Jealousy, WTF?
I was reading HuffPo, as I do from time to time, when I came across a title that struck my fancy: It’s Cool To Be Healthy Again. The title pretty much sums up what the articles says, so you can read it or not read it, but you’ll basically come to the same conclusion. I [...]
Read more »Exercise: To Schedule or Not to Schedule?
While on my blog I may promote being flexible and taking baby-steps, in reality I’m a total all-or-nothing personality. In the past this has really only worked against me. If I didn’t get to the gym when I was scheduled, well then, I may as well never go to the gym again. Ialready ate a [...]

Yesterday was 90 degrees, today is 60 degrees. The world is messing with me emotionally. Thank you all for your kind words about cellulite. I wanted to share with you all my very normal, yet still over the top, irrational thinking in the dressing room yesterday. Sometimes I think that I sound too Pollyanna about body image and [...]
