I just finished reading Jen Lancaster’s Such a Pretty Fat, and I loved it! You should all go out and by your own copy today. And no, I’m not getting a portion of the book sales.
The book isn’t a tale about a fat girl who is now slim, but rather it’s a tale [...]

With all the working out I’ve been doing lately, I decided it was time to shuffle around my iTunes Workout playlist, because without my iPod, I don’t think I could get through a minute on the elliptical machine. I’d been listening to the same songs for months, and while I have 10,000,000 songs in [...]

Ok, that title isn’t entirely accurate. CBCB and I had planned on going to SF today to make it to the last day of the Annie Lebowitz exhibit at the Legion of Honor. I suggested that we go together because I love going to art museums and she loves photography, and since today [...]

How did this happen? Well, after months of playing around with working out, going now and then when the mood struck me, I have finally started working out regularly.

Just a quick plug for you to go read this post on my life blog. I had a phenomenal time hearing Jen Lancaster read from her newest book, Such a Pretty Fat.

Sorry this is a day late; I didn’t get home last night until 11pm because I met Favorite Cousin for coffee at Starbucks after my weigh-in and she and I had a lot to catch up on. 

My results for this week weren’t great — I only lost .3, but hey, at least I lost, especially [...]

Tonight at the gym, I had another NSV. After working out on the eliptical machine for 30 minutes and burning 325 calories, I decided to jump on the treadmill for another 10 minutes.
Last summer when BFF and I were going to our local high school track to go walking at night, I found myself [...]
