Friday favorites: back in the saddle edition
i know it’s been a long time since i’ve shown my face around here. (thanks to everyone who’s hung around!) still a bit sorting through reasons why (maybe a post for later), but long story short, not writing these little posts is not helping me answer any of the questions i have been having about what […]
More5 on Friday: reasons to hate juicing
(photo: Yoga Journal) so everyone who’s done a juice cleanse, raise your hands. now keep ’em up if you loved it and would do it like all the time. all 6 of y’all are crazy. i started out the week on a bit of a health kick. seemed like a simple little 3 day juice […]
Moregood start: 6 tips for making your day great
(photo: zastaviky.com) okay. so i have been slacking over here. a lot. i know it. it’s been a weird summer. but it’s now a new month and i’m determined to get my mess back in gear. to that end, i’m making every effort to post (nearly?) every day. and you’ll probably see a lot of […]
Moregirls don’t sit on the bench
i know. as usual, i’m a little late. but today at the gym, i was lucky, um, to be at the gym at lunch time for the first time in a long time. but also to hear CNN coverage of this story. i can’t find the Ashleigh Banfield clip, but found this much better one, […]
Moreyou just called my friend fat.
file this one under nonsense, y’all. a weird thing happened in my social media world a couple weeks ago and i’ve been sitting on this a while figuring out what i wanted to say and how to say it. because it was so freaking stupid on so many levels. so here goes. a friend of […]
Morewords of encouragement: proud
it was last Saturday morning. the temperature was hovering around 30° and with Spy leaving for his Europe trip that afternoon, i was in a time crunch. i had to work out before my 10:30 hair appointment. it was the last chance i would have for 2 weeks to go for my morning run on […]
Morehappy first Monday of 2015, y’all!
okay. that chalkboard is a little all over the place. but so am i. i think i need to create a new “i must be crazy” category for posts. here it is, Monday. i’m back to work after nearly 2 straight weeks off. shit is about to hit the fan for the next 8 hours […]
MoreNaBloPoMo day 7: Friday favorites
yay for Friday! seems like things are finally getting back to normal with Spy back from all his travels and me getting back to some semblance of a routine. as much as i hate to admit it, i thrive on routine. just wish i could be disciplined enough to stick to one for any length […]
Morethe cleanse: fin!
(photo: lovemeow.com / Giane Portal) fist-in-air moment, indeed. 5 days, y’all. it’s not that impressive, but it’s all i can take. and thank god, i think it’s all i need. just for good measure, though, i actually did a salt water flush (i know, super-gross, right?) this morning and took one last dose of my […]
Morei hate my morning run.
i hate my morning run, but am thankful i have 2 strong legs to carry me on it. i hate my morning run, but feel lucky to see the sun rise again today. i hate my morning run, but love watching my neighborhood wake up from darkness. i hate my morning run, but savor the […]
Morethe cleanse: demonic day 3
that was yesterday. it was dark, y’all. like bona fide horror movie, topped with a slice of ancient-curse-style, to-the-bone wickedness dark. i was not myself. it’s pretty much a straight-up miracle i survived to write about it all. truth. i mean, what on earth? i did this thing last year at about the same time […]
Morefresh start: September
Earth Wind & Fire were so such a true moment in my (20 years later, yes) early 90s retro life. this jam could have described so much in any given month. but still just always makes me wanna dance! most of us traditionally think of of January as a time for fresh starts and new […]
Morea fattytale with a happy ending
Boxing Day 2013. planning to get a jump on at least one new year’s resolution, i figured i’d go ahead, get on the scale and start my weight loss efforts a few days early. i was horrified to find that not only did i still have that last 10 pounds of baby weight (4 years […]
Morehalfway to a 6-pack!
okay, i so wish it worked like that. but i, who probably haven’t done a sit up since the Presidential Fitness Test back in the day, have to give myself a pat on the back for staying with this thing for a full 15 days, now. full disclosure: i actually just completely forgot about it […]
Morei am a statistic . . .
i know, i know. crickets have been chirping over here lately on the diet updates front. i’ve been too ashamed to write myself through what’s happened over the past few weeks. after a totally solid first 3 weeks of hitting my goals more or less, feeling great and losing 5 pounds, i completely fell off […]
Morethe Thai offensive
photo: OnMyPlate.co.uk that year, in early in January, the famous Miser brothers made one of their annoying little deals that they make from time to time. the two agreed that Heat Miser would let his brother, Snow Miser, put the freeze on Southtown that Monday morning (itty-bitty snowflakes, schools closed for days and all). and in return, […]
Moreout with the bad, in with the thin
thank god, that bag of turds known as 2013 is out the door and headed to the dump. i mean. worst. year. ever. and i know i’m not alone. anecdotal evidence assures me that at least eight out of 10 people i know personally had a crappy year (imagine the numbers, when you factor in people i don’t know!). […]
