Allow myself to...preempt myself. The plan for today was to share my muzings on my first run in the Vibram FiveFingers. The post was thisclose to finished when I took a bloggin'break to have some breakfast with the Tornado. As I watched her eat (indeed the food-stuffs displayed above) & we chatted not only was I reminded of our Mindful Eating podcast---but a few other thoughts ... Continue Reading

Searching for my shirataki love (video)

by

Ahhh the tofu shirataki noodle. I've had a love (the promise of them) hate (when they're actually in my mouth) relationship with them for nearly a decade. Initially I tried them because regular pasta provides me with an all-body-rash the likes of which you never wanna see. And Ive tried em two or three times a year since because I seem to be one of the *few* who can't get past the smell ... Continue Reading

Post-pregnancy secrets for a flatter stomach (guest post).

by

Are crunches making you fat? In my experience as a personal trainer, one of the most common requests from moms new and old are exercises to flatten the stomach back to pre-baby shape. But after several years of sit ups and crunches--which come in addition to the abdominal trauma of the actual birthing process—what I usually find in the quest for a firmer mid-section is a set of conditions ...

12.5.10 update & your questions answered.

by

if by answered you mean to the best of my current ability---which I do. First, Im compelled to say how honored and excited I am by how many of you are willing to join in this crazy little plan. Virtually or in Las Vegas. In this misfit's mind neither one is "better" or more fraught with "achievementnessment" (technical term). On to your questions. There is no way I could be ...

Hamsa hand.

by

It's funny. Living where I do the fact that Ive a bigass tattoo on my leg seems to make me *more* approachable rather than less. It isnt that I thought the application of my leg-sleeve (as I still like to call it much to the chagrin of my artist) would immediately morph me into an intimidating individual----I just didnt think it would make people more apt to chat me up. But it did. And ... Continue Reading

Ive worn em to hang with the little people. Ive worm em out for coffee with friends. Ive worn em to various & sundry other appointments. Ive worn ... Continue Reading

Barefoot running.

by

Sure, you can choose to deem this a re-run. I prefer to view it as foreshadowing for tomorrow's post. Tomato. Tomaaaaato. We’ve previously established there are innumerable things I’ll attempt in the name of coming up with a freakin blog post journalism. I've NIA'd I've awkwardly swung a kettlebell. Ive competed in bodybuilding. This time, however, I’m letting you ... Continue Reading

Intuitive eating (guest post).

by

Size 16. Great. How did I end up here again? I counted my points, weighed my food, forced myself to run miles upon miles. What is wrong with me? Why can't I keep this weight off? Because it isn't about the points, the miles or even the food. This was a long and hard lesson for me, one that took years to learn. I started binging on chocolate cake frosting when I was eight, ...
