These past two weeks have been doozies.
Now that I’m home from the funeral and feeling remarkably well, all things considered, I’m hoping to get back on track in terms of work, running, and everything else.
One thing I noticed throughout the the wake and funeral was how incessant fat talk is, especially at a time like [...]

I just wanted to stop by to say that I’m still recovering–I still feel like about two-thirds of my power supply has been siphoned off, but at least I don’t itch anymore and the pain is almost all gone.
I’m also on my way out of town for a couple days; Dan’s grandfather passed away and [...]

I’m a bit amazed I don’t weigh more, given the fact that I have had the most sedentary week of my adult life. I still don’t know if I’m up to working out but I’m going to try today. I feel pretty good.
Last night I felt good enough to make fresh pasta for homemade beet [...]
It’s amazing how fast a week can go by when you’re sick. I can’t believe it’s Friday. I’m feeling better today than yesterday, but I’m not sure how much I can do before I get wiped out. Yesterday, I thought in the morning that maybe I could even work out but then I washed my [...]
So, because I’ve spent a lot of hours on the couch in the last week, I’ve noticed how incessant “fat talk” is on daytime TV. I mean, Rachael Ray, whose bread and butter is FOOD, did a segment reviewing cellulite reduction products. Dr. Oz had on guest who’d lost over 100 pounds spouting off diet [...]
Here’s the deal. I don’t have the swine flu or the regular flu or a cold. I have shingles, and it is miserable.
On Friday I felted exhausted and achy but blamed the cold I thought I had. On Saturday, the aches and pains continued, plus I had a headache, and I had the chills so [...]
I really wanted to post yesterday to get Fat Talk Free Week off on the right foot, but I’m sick and I spent half the day at the doctor’s office and the other half on the sofa.
But, as I said last week, I want to observe Fat Talk Free Week by blogging something I like [...]
As it turns out, next week, from October 19 to October 23, is International Fat Talk Free Week. In honor of the event, I have decided not to post my weight on those days, and I’m asking readers not to leave weight-related comments.
Instead, next week I will blog about a quality I like in myself [...]
Today, we should get our lens for the new digital camera. Finally, we can start snapping photos for the still-in-development new food blog. It feels like Christmas Eve.
I have been acting like a crazy person throwing pretty looking ingredients in the freezer, for safe keeping, until the camera is set up to capture it. For [...]
I link to a lot of other blogs on this site, but here is one I’d like you to bookmark.
I’m Not Superhuman
Go, ahead. Bookmark. I’ll wait.
Ok, this blog is authored by one of the most talented writers I’ve ever known, Tracey Neithercott. Tracey and I worked together for almost four years churning out a regional [...]
