  Tossed them in the trash this morning.

  
  See those empty bottles? I dumped out the contents this morning, flinging two "miracle" supplements in the trash.

  And -- poof! -- there goes my magical thinking.

  They were just two of the many supplements hyped by a certain TV doctor. I had [...]

  ... and this is just the pile of stuff yet to be written about. I have a bulging bookcase behind me with recent books, too. (And did I mention the DVDs?) [...]

  Christmas time in a school office is a happy time of year. Kids are taking mid-terms and are off campus before noon.  And good-natured parents are being ever so generous with holiday goodies.  Cookies, candy, fruit (much appreciated!) covered in chocolate (dammit!) and towers of treats. 

  But enough already!  I am very glad [...]

  Took my hostility out on a particularly tasty bag of leftover pumpkin tortilla chips this morning.

  We had a holiday party at the house and had a lot of leftover snack food. Gave a big bag of it to the husband to take to the office, but the teenager [...]

  Here's a great mashup of pretty much every hit song from the past year. Pop music is, for me, the best workout music and this video may give you some good playlist ideas:

• Tunes for Tuesday: Locked Out of Heaven, by Bruno Mars

  Number of comments: 0
  

  I owe a lot to Bruno Mars' first album, "Doo-Wops & Hooligans." It introduced me to interval training, especially on the elliptical. "Runaway Baby" and "Marry You" are great, high-intensity songs, with "The Lazy Song" sandwiched in the middle. This one will be a welcome addition to the workout' [...]

• Feelin’ so fly, like a cheese stick

  Number of comments: 0
  Apparently, I’m not the only person who thought the lyrics to “Like a G6” had to do with mozzarella. I found plenty of parody videos on YouTube that prove that, and you will be rewarded with one if you read on...

  Anyway! I’m all about the cheese sticks this week because I’m Carb Stepping.

  What’s [...]

• A strongly worded letter to my metabolic processes and hormones

  OK, I’ll keep this brief, and I’m not really sure who (what) to address this to, so consider this a mass mailing.

  I am disappointed in your incredibly efficient skills at keeping my weight at 238.

  Listen, that may be your “happy weight” but it sure isn't mine.

  At the same time, I’m also' [...]

  As some of you may know, I'm a "Biggest Loser" fangirl. I've been watching the show since season 1 and have been writing about it since 2007.

  I'm also a fan of 5Ks -- they're a totally achievable fitness goal for beginners, especially if you're an avid walker or want' [...]
