So everything I wrote in my previous diet post…forget it. Because it’s meaningless if I don’t really believe it. I’m trying, I really am. And I soooo want to lose 20 lbs. But for some reason, something just isn’t clicking in my brain. I haven’t lost any weight since my […]
So, it’s been about 3 weeks into this “diet” and I’m down…drumroll… 8 lbs! It’s a modest amount, I think, but I figure if I lose weight at a decent pace, then I’m more likely to keep it off.
The first week was the easiest. And that’s when I lost the most weight. […]
Despite being overweight, I often forget to eat because I get caught up in a problem, realize I’m hungry, form the intent to feed myself, and then get distracted by something shiny, and forget. This, combined with the fact that writing is a sedentary career choice (not that doing mortgage loans was much better), does […]
As May 12th will be the Fibromyalgia National Awareness Day, (in both America and the UK) and I will be writing a column for the May/June addition of All Things Girl, I thought I would pass on this alert I just received announcing a BlogTalkRadio discussion that will be broadcast tomorrow, check below to find your local time.
If […]
I’m going on, yet another, diet. Will it be the last one? I don’t know, but I hope so. I am 35 years old and started my first diet and life-long obsession/struggle with my weight at age 12. I wanted to lose 5 pounds back then, and I’m STILL trying to […]
In part of my research on better health and lower cholesterol, I came across the American Heart Association’s website and the discovered that April 16this the official kick off for “Start! Moving“.
The celebrity spokesperson this year is Donny Osmond… and the challenge is to continue your resolution to live healthier - and part of this […]
This won’t be the last time you hear me whine about this, but there always has to be a first time, right? I have been instructed to lower my cholesterol - and to begin making diet changes that are lower in fat and cholesterol. Oh, and while I’m at making changes, it’s also been suggested […]
Every day I see ads that I find borderline insulting or irresponsible (particularly in their depiction of women). Now we can go on a tirade about how women “buy into” the notion that they have to be physically perfect and perpetuate the ideal, but for now I want to direct you to a site I […]
So, I’m not quite sure what I think of this site yet. Taaz.com is a new site where you can upload your photo and, using a variety of Flash image editing tools, apply different hairstyles and make-up looks to your picture. As a woman who does wear make-up, but pretty minimally, and really has […]
Today is my 38th birthday. A number of women would be unwilling to admit this. I don’t mind being 38. Really. What I do mind is looking and feeling 38. That sucks.
What I find more disconcerting that creaky hips and knees; a few gray hairs - some in very odd places; and skin that suddenly […]
As I approach my fortieth birthday, I find that I am increasingly aware of things I do - or fail to do - that may contribute to me looking my age. Isn’t it funny how vanity goads us into things we should be doing?
In the last year or so, I have become […]
It’s that time of year where we reflect on what we’ve accomplished, setting goals or New Year’s resolutions that we resolve we really will stick with this year. In addition to my endless writing goals for myself, I’ve resolved to get sexy again. I don’t want to count calories, watch carbs, or count reps – […]
Of the more than thirty-three million people in the world that are living with HIV, almost half of them are women - compared with forty-one percent in 1997. In many places of the world, the rates of infection in women is increasing much faster than men. In some cultures, young women […]
Me. That’s who. Or at least I was before yesterday at exactly 3:05PM. That’s when I experienced one for the first time. That is the moment I realized I’d been a complete moron for not having gotten one sooner.
I’ve heard so many rumors about how painful Mammograms were. “They put you in this machine and […]
I have big tits – not showing off just stating fact. I also exercise a lot – usually five days a week. And I can’t find a sports bra to fit my breasts. This is something I have struggled with for ages. None of the major manufacturers make sports bras for breast […]
When we did our back to school check-ups, both of my daughters were vaccinated with Gardasil. Those without girls under the age of 26 may not know what I’m talking about.
Gardasil is the only (US) approved vaccine for HPV. HPV is the human papillomavirus and has more than a dozen strains. The […]
