Where I was last week. The lake, the lake! You may remember my bravado from such posts as No Excuses, where I asserted with vigor that nothing was going to stop me now. I meant it when I said it, but in my amnesiac optimism I forgot that in the weeks before my Stelara injection [...] I couldn't find an image of Tom Bombadil that didn't make him look like a creeper, so here's his house. OR, How Many Topics Will I Cram Into One Post? Ten miles this week, now at mile 99. Spent a lovely time at Tom Bombadil’s. Missed eating meat, though. They appear to be vegetarian. We set [...] For once there is a reason to be happy that I’m “middle-aged.” Brenda Davy, Ph.D, R.D., associate professor, department of human nutrition, foods and exercise, at Virginia Tech and her pals conducted a study examining the effect of drinking two cups of water prior to each meal. The old diet myth is proved true; drinking water before [...] Aaaaand….GO! Hey, wait, what's that? Did anyone notice I didn’t post last week? No one noticed, right? The problem was that last Wednesday night my body was preparing for an…event of sorts, one that happens PERIODICALLY, if you follow.

Ouch! Worse than I thought. This is the day I begin. I deserve to be healthy. Day 2: Walked two miles and lifted one set. Go me! Still fat, though. Day 10: Doing great, no weight gone yet, lifting two [...] I just realized that it’s my day to post and I have not, because I am stuck in a morass of back-to-school and climbing toddlerhood and Max, my middlest boy, turns twelve today. I am sorry to fail you like this, so I will leave you with a parting word of advice on how to maintain a [...] LOOK AT THAT! Huh? It is a water bottle, a GO RED pin, and one of those resistance bands you use to work out at home, courtesy of my peeps over at the American Heart Association’s GO RED campaign. I did their 16 week lifestyle heart healthy makeover LAST year, and I had GREAT [...] YOU! Not so much me, but definately YOU. First of all I want to say YAY to the FFPers readers who met their goals and WON this first challenge of 2010. You guys are inspiring. I love reading that some of you have gone even FARTHER into healthy territory than the challenged asked us to. [...] With just a couple weeks left in this challenge, I find myself wondering what comes next. More specifically, I’m allowing myself to actually think about what I want. Because—let’s face it—I spent half this challenge so convinced that I couldn’t possibly make any progress, then the other half (so far, anyway) so amazed that I [...] MOAR FOODZ PLOX Have you ever emerged from a stupor some hours after a meal with bits of pizza clinging to your hair, soda splashed on your shoes and a smear of frosting on one cheek and wondered, “Dear God, what have I done?” all the while wishing there was a Plan B for overeating?
