Many moons ago, on this blog, I wrote about my superstition- that if I got rid of my bigger clothes that I would need them shortly. Last time I lost a significant amount of weight, I immediately expunged all of my clothes as a symbolic gesture that I would never again return to those sizes. … [Read more…]
We bought our WiiFit Meters with the intention of just kind of seeing what kinds of numbers we keep, activity-wise. I have to say, they made us really cognizant of all of our activity. They really allowed us to see what we were doing versus what we thought we were doing. Mostly, for me, I … [Read more…]
I looked like this: The second one I took a few days ago. It’s unbelievable to see the changes that I’ve made. It seems like much longer ago that I looked like that, but at the same time also still feel like I look like that today!
Do you ever give yourself a social coma intentionally? I was an early adopter of Facebook. I jumped from MySpace to Facebook during the months when all you did was poke your friends and send them badges. I really didn’t know what else to do with it! Eventually, I became one of the addicted ones. … [Read more…]
Bradley is sick. He has some weird, low-grade fever that has made his body its home for the past few days. He’s laying low and, as a result, the rest of us are too. What a better day to make a project of, eh? So here you have it, a day in the life of … [Read more…]

( …Sometimes I just like to take a really dorky selfie. I’m not even sure why, I just know I get such pleasure from acting all silly and cheesy… And then looking at it.) Somehow I hurt my back. I mean, I think I know what did it, all the push-push-pushing to exercise like a … [Read more…]
Today was delightful. We woke up with big plans to go to the zoo, to go for a walk, to do all these fancy things… But we didn’t do anything. Instead, we hunkered down in our house and hung out, family style. We collectively did the Jillian Michaels Six Week Six Pack routine, then, while … [Read more…]
Tonight the last words to my children were, “Goodnight! You guys are the best kids in the world and you should know I am done parenting for the night! I love you!” Then I closed my bedroom door. I considered locking it, but then I thought about emergencies and fires and scared little kids running … [Read more…]
Oh my. There was a glow party at my school last Friday. It replaced the beloved Sock Hop- since the people who hopped in socks are now the grandparents, the sick hop was confusing. It was funny to watch the little second graders dressed up in their tie dye and hippie skirts or neon workout … [Read more…]
