There are so many I hardly know where to start. It’s been a week since I came home from BlogHer 10, which was a totally amazing experience, and I have drafted several blog entries and have not published a single one. By the time I get around to posting with all the appropriate links, BlogHer [...]

It’s been a tough few weeks. In no particular order: We went on vacation, during which I got sick and spent time with the in-laws, which was weird in a way I really can’t go into on this blog. Our daughter moved out. Our beloved dog, Dexter, died unexpectedly. An intern moved in. And I [...]
My bitch du jour

You know what honks me off? Nutrition information labels. Not all of them, mostly the ones that are on snack foods. The ones that hope you don’t notice that they are playing you for a dumb ass. I have the kind of job where there are days that I have at least one hour for [...]
My overwashed jeans

I hate to exercise. I really do. I know people who are physically fit (and I’m looking at you, Olympic athletes) get high from working out, and believe me, if it made me feel like I did at parties back in the day, I would probably love it too. But I don’t get high. I [...]
A decent start

After making the monumental step of going to the gym on Sunday, I made the monumentally stupid decision to step on my bathroom scale. I would like to say it wasn’t as bad as I feared. But I hardly ever get to say what I like. I spent most of 2008 shedding 50 pounds. It [...]
I forgot how hard this is

I have started and stopped weight loss plans more times than I could possibly recall. This week I wanted to make an official start: Back on the Weight Watchers model of tracking, planning and being acutely aware of every calorie consumed and every calorie burned. And I’ve failed miserably at all of that. Next best [...]
Stuffing my face before New Year’s

I took New Year’s Eve off from work because I met all but one of my crazy-assed deadlines during the holiday season and now I could breathe, and, well, why the hell not take the day off. And as a last hurrah before the old year ended and the new one started with a new-found [...]
Stress relief

I met my cardiologist today. Nice guy. The good news is my blood pressure is down. The bad news is that it’s not down very much. The doc doesn’t think I am at significant risk for having heart disease. But he still wants me to have a stress test, which involves setting off teeny tiny [...]
One of many reasons my ass deserves its own area code

I promise that once the holidays are over, me and several million other of my closest fattie friends are going to pretend we are all the biggest losers and get all religious about nutrition and excerise. That is then. This is now. And my hubby (from here on known as Hoylier, cause it’s an old [...]
