  We'll call this an off week -- like really off.

  239 -- poo. For those scoring at home, I gained 4 pounds this week.

  Excuses? I have a few -- PMS, stupid right leg ... actually, that's it. Enough inactivity, bloating and food journal slippage to make the scale bounce' [...]

• Produce of the month: Jicama

  Number of comments: 3
  Take me out to the ball game for jicama.

  
  Like scrunchy socks, shoulder pads and Wang Chung, jicama was a big deal in the '80s. I hadn't thought about the vegetable in years until we went to a Marlins game in their new ballpark. I bought [...]

• Tunes for Tuesday: The Crown, by Dangerflow

  Number of comments: 0
  

  Here's an inspiring cooldown song that'll put a little swagger in your step (and the video may make you do a boxing workout). The Miami Heat adopted it as one of its championship anthems, which is appropriate since Dangerflow is from South Florida. So allow me a little "cocky Heat'" [...]

  That's me in the hat dancing with Bollywood Groove instructor Ajanta Chakraborty and other bloggers. I had to throw the hat in the trash at the airport, it got so disgusting.

  
  This week had a little travel involved. I was invited to join a group of bloggers for' [...]

  Songs like this put me on autopilot when jogging, which is a good thing. Plus you can sing along to it and not look too crazy. Or you can dance to it on Just Dance 3 -- Wii and Xbox dance games are great workouts.

• Fun with Fitbit

  Gail and I received Fitbits last week.  She received the blue one and I, of course, got the pink one ... and the race is on.

  What I am loving about this little clip are many things.  I am "competing" with Gail on my fitbit dashboard, wanting to best her [...]

• Friday update: Tale from the scale and a Fitbit of news

  Number of comments: 0
  

  It's my first official weigh-in for our Summer Spectacular, and despite not working out much, I still got rid of a pound. (I don't lose pounds because I'm good at finding things.)

  And since my Weight Shrink told me I should be completely accountable in my updates, I'll be posting [...]

• Tunes for Tuesday: Lonely Boy, by The Black Keys

  Number of comments: 0
  

  Been hearing a lot from the great "El Camino" album lately -- NBC is using "Gold on the Ceiling" in its Olympics promos, and yesterday on a run walk, the Jillian Michaels Podcast used a bunch of Black Keys songs in its breaks.

  Do like this guy does and take a [...]

• This is my summer -- the summer of Carol

  Number of comments: 0
  

  I work at a school year-round, and today is the first "official" day of summer. Teachers and students are gone until the end of August, and I want to transform myself upon their return.

  I am intrigued by the idea of juicing my morning and afternoon meals and having lean [...]
