Stomach Flu: Where are you when I need You?

Posted in Diet, Family, Health, Humor, Rants, Weight, tagged , , , on April 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Yes, it’s true – I’ve been gone a while. Why? Oh — I don’t know.  Maybe it’s the VIRULENT stomach flu coursing through my entire family. Even the dog threw up.  Seriously. First it was my son.  On vacation. In Florida.  Perfect weather.  Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters.  We stayed inside for almost the entire [...]

Who's Afraid of the Water Park? Me, that's who.

Posted in Family, Humor, Neurosis, Parenting, Weight on July 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I have trekked through the rain forests of Costa Rica.  I have biked 18 miles up-hill to the top of  Mount Constitution in Washington State. I have traveled through Turkey – by myself – with blond hair.  But the ideaof going to Splish Splash Water Park terrifies me. It’s not the possibility of drowning *though [...]

Ageless Body? Yeah, right.

Long ago, I discovered the secret to buying (passably) flattering bathing suits: the worse you look the more you pay. (Hence, the Karla Coletto bazillion dollar(and worth every penny) bathing suit.)  I then learned the secret to feeling young and attractive: hang out with the septaugenarians.  I’ve bemoaned the new fahion-math: in Hollywood, size six [...]

NYC Moms Blog Post: My Daughter Thinks She's Fat and It's all my Fault

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Family, Kids, Neurosis, Parenting, Weight, tagged , , , on June 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Swimsuit season is upon us.  And with it the onslaught of diet ads on tv, magazines with pics of celebs caught having actual cellulite, and me, bemoaning my post-partum, post-forty, past passing for anything but middle-aged body. Though I am, if I am completely, intellectually honest, neither truly fat, or particularly unattractive, I have made [...]

Youngening: It's true! We're all getting younger!

Posted in 23andMe, Fashion, Humor, Rants, Shopping, Weight, tagged , , , , on June 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Forty is the new thirty.  Fifty is the new forty.  Twenty one is the new eighteen.  In fact, my hormones are skyrocketing to adolescent levels even as I type. It’s the new math.  And Lord knows, I’ve never been much good at math. Funny.  I’m not much good at getting younger as I age, either. [...]

Weight Watchers Weigh In Update #1

Posted in Beauty, Diet, Exercise, Fashion, Food, Laughs, Neurosis, Weight, tagged , , , , on February 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Weight Watchers. The two most terrifying words in the English language.  (Though I suppose that “Compassionate Conservative” and “Hairy Back” might be contenders.) And yet here I am, once again, doing the WW.  Counting the points, weighing the portions,trying to decide if a deck of cards (the proper size of a serving a meat) is [...]

What A Trip!

Posted in 23andMe, Diet, Travel, Weight, tagged , , , , , , on January 22, 2009 | 10 Comments »

I’ve been back from my 23andMe super-secret-special-project extravaganza trip for some time now.  I’ve been basking in the glory that was four days away from household chores, drop-off, pick up, and frigid temperatures. I did miss my kids and hubby, tis true, but it was a small price to pay for a little solitude, a [...]

Scaling too High

Posted in Beauty, Humor, Laughs, Weight, tagged , , on August 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

If you gain five pounds, but you don’t have a scale to step on…does it really make you fat? I’ve been avoiding the scale lately, because I don’t need to weigh myself to know that I have gained weight, again, this summer.   But instead of being upset about it, I’m going to find reasons to [...]
