Here’s a problem I’d like to have

The St. Louis Rams have hired a personal chef for offensive lineman Jacob Bell. Seems’s he’s having trouble making weight.
So?
He needs to GAIN weight.

Where did I put that can of Lysol?

Just what I need.
Another reason to avoid the gym.

Just one of the many reasons I married him!

One of the ultra cool things about boot camp was the nutritional guidance. A registered dietician, Lauren Squire, came out to talk to us on consecutive weeks. A lot of it was basic: Eat less junk food, exercise more.
But there were some good nuggets in there. Such as the counterintuitive concept of eating more — [...]

Project RunWeigh: Week 6 looms…..

It’s killing me to write this, so I am just going to write it and get it over with. This is Week Six of boot camp, and I officially weigh .6 lbs MORE than when I started. Granted. It could be a lot more.
But still!!!
I think all this exercise is causing me to eat more. Yes, [...]

Pride goeth before the dog food

You know you’re old when you’re offended by someone calling you ma’am. As in, “Ma’am, would you like help to your car today?”

Cardio, cardio and more cardio….

The four basic food groups? Kreme-filled Krispy Kremes, chili cheese Fritos, double piña coladas [...]

I guess I need [...]

Project RunWeigh: Did you know I can cartwheel?

It is taking all of my strength to type this. I think I have to call in “sick.” And by “sick,” I mean that we spent the morning “running” all over Signal Hill and I am so tired I think I could go back to bed and sleep for a week. (And by “running” I mean walking [...]

I’m all about the Benjamins

The pool is up to $2,000 and continues to grow. They’re planning to divide that among the top four finishers. But there’s more bad news. It’s the top four finishers among the three different camps that all started the same week. That means I have lots and lots of competition, men included. This is revenge [...]

My sentiments exactly!
