What does healthy look like?

There was a meme all over Facebook this week about a woman who reportedly wrote a response to a bulletin posted at a gym. I  do not know if any of this is true, so the journalist in me resisted posting it to my wall. Also, many of the memes included a nude photo of [...]

PIZZA!

Attitude

    This seems a little harsh. It only motivates me to want to tell this sweaty bitch to lighten the fuck up already.   (Source: des051195, via imgfave)      

At least let me be a horrible warning

This may indeed be the first weight loss blog where the blogger actually gains weight. Let me explain, as I can feel my ass widening as I am typing this and I suspect I will have a jeans explosion to deal with soon. I came home for lunch instead of eating frozen shit at my [...]

Now I’m cooking with gas

I have wanted a gas stove for years. Gas allows for so much more control of heat and makes everything taste better. Yesterday, we got one. Two ovens, the bigger one convection, five burners including a bridge burner perfect for grill pans. Isn’t it gorgeous? In kind of an ironic turn of events, the stove [...]

When my knee said, “Enough!”

I have a bad knee. It wasn’t always bad. At one time it kept my upper leg nicely attached to my lower leg, moved in the correct direction when it was supposed to move, supported my weight. All the things a good knee should do. Then one day seven years ago, I fell off a [...]

It’s a new day

I just went to the free hotel breakfast that usually means a pig-out on bland waffles, oily sausage and whatever muffin-bricks the hotel staff has found in the freezer. And even though I am usually very pleased with my fat, full tummy after such an indulgence, I usually want to go back to the hotel [...]
