Lousy Lounge Singers and Other Holiday Fun

Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you believe this is a real holiday or one made up by the greeting card companies, you have to love Valentine’s Day.  Especially for the candy.  Which, tomorrow, will be 70% off.  That’s a good deal. This is my second Valentine’s with the knight.  Last year’s didn’t go so well, as…

Slothy is easy

I am getting married in a matter of months. I have already picked out and purchased my dress. You would think that I would be on the motivation train to get into shape. And you would be right… in my mind. I have been so much better about diet and exercise for the past few…

Hit One out of the Park

Every once in a while, I really hit one out of the park.  In this situation, I am referring to dinner.  About a month ago, I was trying to come up with some South Beach friendly meals to make so I wouldn’t get bored with the same old same old, and thereby sabotage my diet…

Relief is spelled T-U-R-B-O

Alright, so by now you have probably figured out that I have a problem with anxiety.  Always have, and probably always will to some extent.  It is one of the worst feelings I can imagine, especially for a control freak like me.  I hate the feeling of being out of control (a large part of…

Dear Tummy, I am speaking to you, the tummy on the inside.  We will get to the tummy on the outside later.  I wish to tell you that you suck, and I am really tired of you being so temperamental all the time.  I understand that you are closely tied to my anxiety issues, but…
