• I am my own weight-loss guru

  Number of comments: 2
  

  
  Funny thing happened on the way to today's blog post. Last week I thought I'd be telling you about the miraculous amount of weight I lost following a new book's plan that promised a pound lost a day. I was psyched and bought all the groceries and printed' [...]

  It's a pretty chill song but the beat is fast enough for a slow jog (which is all I do.)

• Working muscles for what feels like the first time ever.

  Number of comments: 0
  

  Continuing on my physical fitness with Sara... I must reiterate how much more focused and diligent I am in working out with a trainer guiding me. 

  Last week we did "playboy poses" (dead lifts), "cheerleader posing" and "office squats".  I don't know what the exercises are really called, but naming' [...]

  We're long past the Nickelodeon shows in our household (I miss me some 'toons!), but Lazy Town was one of my favorites. The Icelandic import had a great message for the kiddies: Get off your butts and do something!

  The past couple of weeks, I have been the Queen [...]

  This song had me smiling, laughing and waving at squirrels (yes, really) yesterday morning. In fact, the whole album is fantastic. (By the way, I downloaded it at Amazon.com, where as of yesterday it's only $5.)

• Working out with a trainer... and I didn't vomit...

  Number of comments: 0
  

  My good friend, Sara, who is an awesome SAT instructor, is also an amazing trainer.  She recently had a baby (6-8 weeks ago) and is back to her pre-baby weight -- probably even less.  She approached me at my desk last week to help me to lose my baby weight, [...]

  If it weren't for my Rock My Run mixes, I swear I wouldn't know about any of these cool songs. (I pretty much listen to sports talk radio; I know, I'm a baseball geek.) I love this one because Harris' voice is so textured. It's also good to sing [...]

• Produce of the month: Strawberries

  Number of comments: 1
  

  I love strawberries. The strawberry has been part of my Shrinking Sisters blog header for a few years now. I chose the strawberry because they're cheery and colorful and so darn healthy.

  And right now, there's an absolute glut of strawberries. The warm winter in Florida produced a bumper [...]
