A magic pill (guest post).

by

“How did you do it?” That is the question I get a lot when people find out I lost over 100 pounds. I then proceed to tell them just how I did it. And I watch their faces fall. Disappointment. I counted my calories. “Oh, I can’t do that.” They say. I started swimming. “I hate exercising.” Most of the time the conversation ends after that. No, I don’t have a magic pill that ...

Wordless Wednesday:the hair edition.

by

This not-so-wordless Wednesday is brought to you by a Twitter conversation about hair lengths and colors. It all started here. I went for extensions (early '90s) before the art of it and Caucasian hair was really perfected. Short version? I ended up with the dreadlocks below (I think the picture was for a fitness book we did at our studio.). And, when I was over those, I had to ... Continue Reading

I am the expert of my own body! (video)

by

Yesterday I was glued to twitter, facebook, texts, phone & email running vicariously with our racing Tribe members. (Yep. I totally did a link love extravaganza and deleted it. I was pretty damn confident even in my thoroughness I missed *someone*) I was BEYOND inspired by all of you & amazed at the health issues so many of you overcame (guest post? you know who you are!) to finish ...

What are *your* pink gloves?

by

Right before Thanksgiving, during the most convenient possible time of year, our dishwasher died. It suddenly & irrevocably refused to close. I couldnt fix it, the Tornado couldnt fix it, the Traveling Husband wasnt around to fix it & the plumber (who was here visiting for a different broken-stuff reason) was irrationally pissed & frustrated he couldnt fix it. I share this ... Continue Reading

When life gets to be a pain in the butt (guest post)

by

I’ll be honest about this: I was torn when MizFit asked me if I would guestblog. On one hand, since I adore MizFit and her blog, I am flattered and honored. On the other hand, when MizFit suggested the topic of my guestblog, I was sorry and saddened. Let me explain: My topic is back pain, inspired by MizFit’s recent experience in “being a right angle.”  (Remember her blog of last month?) I ... Continue Reading

by

(or, as Im sure you surmised, as wordless as this overly verbose blogger can get.) Im living not blogging about life today. We are recovering from this one turning 5 yesterday: This is how she kicked-off her celebration. Id totally forgotten Id once told her she could do that as soon as she was five She did not forget. And *today* we are getting ALL KINDS of ready for Hanukkah ... Continue Reading

Ask me. Ask Experience Life magazine.

by

Im kinda shocked, amazed and pretty damn flattered happy to announce that Ive been invited to be a part of a First! Time! Twitter event for Experience Life magazine. (Yes it is a Twitter event, but there's still plenty of time to sign up for a Twitter account & if you dont fall completely twitter-in-love you need never use it again!) The chat will be hosted by the FITastic Senior Editor ... Continue Reading

by

Id love to. But whether the financial-planets align or not (Id adore showing the Tornado Colorado!)----Im voting. You know, because it's what they say: I caint whine about the sessions if I didnt take part in the process. (That *is* what they say right?) DizClaimer: I am listed as possibly speaking. You are under no obligation to either notice or vote for me. Vote for what you'd wanna ... Continue Reading
