I have to admit that the recovery from this surgery has been much, much more difficult that I envisioned.  Not because I think I am some kind of Wonder Woman, more-resilient than others, who would bounce back more quickly and recuperate at super-strength and super-speed …………… well, ok, I guess I did sort of think [...]

In the interest of honesty, I feel like I should nix a little of the praise about my magical 80 pound weight loss.  I mean, sure, I love the weight-loss halo that a few of you have given me, but it adds at least three pounds to the scale and goodness knows we can’t have THAT, [...]

So, that’s ironic.  Use of the word “skinny” in a post about plastic surgery.  I have been away from the computer, both the blog and facebook and e-mail and my photography, for the past ten days or so, recovering from my long-awaited tummy tuck. I will give more details later.  Like how embarrassing it was [...]

My job today? To be the fat girl waddling around the track at the gym that everyone else can look at and feel fan-fucking-tastic about themselves. Yeah.  You’re welcome.

The beginning of summer, we spent our time sitting and watching this: The middle of summer, we spent our time sitting and watching this: And now, can you guess how we’re going to spend our time the END of this summer? (this was that jumping-and-rolling-over-your-teammate exercise, which as far as I’m concerned, they all looked [...]

I know I joke and kid around a lot about my weight …. in a sort of, “the best defense is a good offense” kind of way. I’m partly kidding, because I’m healthy and happy and love me a good spoonful of chocolate chip cookie dough, and really, who on this planet besides ME gives [...]

Oh, dear. It was 80-something degrees here yesterday. You *know* you’ve gained weight when you put on last summer’s Capri pants for the first time and not only can you NOT get them fastened, but you can walk around with them completely unzipped and they do not fall down. At all. Hmmmmm. We leave for [...]

I am in Facebook Hell (stop) Send help (stop) Or Oreos, really, would be just as good. ************************************ Speaking of Oreos, I went to the gym again this morning (I know! Twice in one week! Or as a friend asked me this morning, upon seeing me in work-out clothes, has hell frozen over????) There, I [...]

I looked at the calendar yesterday and realized that our summer vacation is coming up …. much sooner than I expected. Then I looked in a full-length mirror and realized …. this is not a good thing. My vacations the past two years have involved jackets and hats and gloves, oohing and aahing at beautiful [...]

I mentioned yesterday that like 95% of the people on the planet, I started my New Year with the same-old-boring-resolution to live healthier and eat better and exercise more. Blah blah double triple blah. I say boring because it’s the same resolution I make every year, and every year I do great until approximately Jan [...]
