Pause the Slippage

I want to eat a house right now. I nearly ate one last night, and it gave me horrible indigestion all night long. I’d like to avoid the re-run this evening so I’m hoping that pushing pause for just a few minutes to post a blog entry might help. Part of the problem is I [...]

Twisted Grunders Suck

I think the last few weeks found me with my big girl panties knotted around my ankles. Two-year-old tantrums kept good behavior at bay. Exercise has been great, but whether I was throwing too many parties in my mouth or kicking and screaming about how unfair life was that my pants are too tight, I [...]

Believe the Slogan

I experienced a nasty altercation with a bag of sour cream and onion chips yesterday. I didn’t really give the purchase a second thought. I generally reserve them for holiday cookouts or if I know there will be kids around to polish them off before I start nosing around, which was exactly what was supposed [...]

Thrive in Rain

Tomatoes, eggplant, lettuce, radishes, carrots, herbs galore, cucumbers, strawberries, beets, peppers, brussel sprounts, spinach, onions. Yes, we over planted, but I can’t wait. I’m days within feasting on some of the early crops. Yum.

Put Down the Straw and Step Away from the Milkshake

There are simply places I shouldn’t be permitted to enter. I thought I could come up with a top ten list, but surprisingly the magic number is five: Steak and Shake Dairy Queen Olive Garden (or any other place with endless garlic bread and pasta) Skyline Chili Most pizza places (unless, I’m on my AAA [...]

Batter Up

I’m not sure how last week unraveled, but I’m recovering from a carb tryst. My batting average tanked with a business trip to Cleveland, which included an Indians game – in the Indians suite, no less. Beer, hot dogs, subs, cookies, you name it; all there within too-easy-of-reach. It was a pretty cool way to [...]

Can You Scoot Down a Little More?

Geez, can you guess what I did yesterday? I think I’m probably going to hell. As I saw the top of my doctor’s head peeking and bobbing above the paper sheet as I waited to hear the dreaded words, “please scoot down… just a little more… a little more,” I couldn’t help but find the [...]

Refreshed and Rejuvenated

I slept really well last night – no wakey, wakey. I seem to have latched onto this term that my trainer uses to describe my muscles, but believe me it has a completely different connotation today. The lack of a bedtime snack may have something to do with the phenomena. Mostly, I tell myself that [...]

R-Rated Eating, Bye-Bye

I’m in a worry place. It’s what happens when I eat sugar. Worry and bitch, not the two most flattering things to embrace in one’s behavior. I wasn’t crazy with food this weekend, but I chose to hang out with two-year-old Melissa, the demanding little toddler who wants and wants and wants and whines until [...]

Poetry in a Pork Roast

I did myself no freaking favors yesterday by eating sugar, aka. a cookie nearly the size of my head and a chocolate milkshake. STUPID. I woke up grouchy and proceed straight to bitchy. I ate a wholesome breakfast this morning – cream of wheat and skim milk. This afternoon we grilled a lean pork roast [...]
