Last week, I was waiting in line at Office Depot and picked up a June issue of Men’s Health to flip through while I waited.  Skimming through the pages I came across these pictures with some quotes from Jessica Szhor , who I had never heard of but now know she is from Gossip Girl […]

I’m obsessing again.  This time on the Bodybugg.  (It’s a device that you wear on your arm that tracks how many calories you are burning.) I came across it online a few weeks ago and I’ve been thinking about it ever since.   The reviews on blogs and message boards have been mixed  but overall […]

If you are like me you don’t have hours to workout every day.  For the last year most of  my strength workouts have lasted 40-60 minutes.  Well I’ve decided to shave some of the time off by  pushing myself a little harder in less time by using the clock for motivation.  I feel like I […]

I haven’t been blogging this week because my husband has been filming some children’s music videos the past three days and I had the glamourous  job of crafts (carb) service. My whole life I’ve wanted to be an actress and have struggled to break my excessive carb consumption (binging) so this little job of craft services […]

What is Tabata training? For years, I had read references to the “Tabata protocol” but it sounded more like a code of conduct for elite special forces than a way to tighten my butt.  People would rave about how great Tabata was and the skeptic in me would think, “4 minutes…yeah right.”  Finally, I decided […]

Today is the first morning I’ve felt “normal” since last Wednesday.  At least as normal as I can feel when I’ve got the present monster scratching at the door.  My head is finally starting to clear after the 2 day carb fest.  I did my best to get back on plan yesterday although I had […]

Went to the cupboard. Despite being close to the show. When she got there The cupboard should have been bare Since she has trouble with “NO”. Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday. The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in […]

Wanted to say hi before my competition tomorrow.  Unlike my first show, it’s been a really chill day.  Seriously, I’ve been so laid back.  It’s nice for a change.  Cuddled with hubby before I got up and had breakfast.  The I spent the day painting on my tan, managed to throw in a few errands, […]

I’m really not a pack rat even though I’ve been hanging on to one particular pair of jeans for about 15 years.  The Braxtons. I bought The Braxtons at a thrift store when I was a teenager because I thought they were cool. They have TRIPLE gold stitching going down the legs and around the […]
