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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I like to eat. Less than 2 weeks to my competition and surprisingly I feel pretty good despite being far from my goal on the scale. My friend, Martha, came over this weekend to help me with my posing. Turn your the palm of your paw toward your bum. Arch your back and hold you [...]

Today was not my weigh in day but I felt thinner so I hopped on the scale and much to my chagrin it was up half a pound. I almost went out to the garage to grab a hammer. I know a half a pound isn’t much. I know weight fluctuates. I know it could [...]
The other day I was cooking lentils when I got distracted by my computer. I was replying to emails when I started smelling smoke. I got up from my computer ready to call the fire department. I ran to the kitchen looking for flames but found none. Why was my house filled with smoke? The [...]
My mom sent me this article today. Read it, it’s cool! Yet another reason to lift weights and build muscle. Nooooo…not so you can paraglide, silly, so you body is better able to withstand trauma in the event of an accident. Her life-saving-abs are not the only thing that strikes me. She is 47 and [...]
The other day I walked to the grocery store and while searching for the spices through the mecca of transfats and sugar I ran into a huge chip display. Seriously, I’m talking the Arc de Triumph of chips. I stopped and stared for a moment at the 8th wonder of the modern world and then [...]
