Ah, I wasn’t going to do this. I already make enough lists. My life revolves around lists. But then Leslie at the Weighting Game asked for resolutions and I resolved to resolve. So here they are: I resolve to stop writing in shorthand. I’m so ADHD that by the time I get to the store …
To the staff of the YMCA of Metropolitan Minneapolis: It is a great privilege to write this endorsement of Ms. Jennie Berglund for YMCA Instructor of the year. Not only should strong consideration be given to Jennie for local honor, but her actions and impact at our Y are great enough to merit any national …
After my interview with Hungry Waif the other day, I thought it would be fun, in the grand tradition of mooching off my friends, to ask her to answer our Great Fitness Cooking Questions! Haven’t you always wanted a personal chef? I know I have! So, post your questions in the comments or e-mail them …
My friend (and Gym Buddy of Famed 12.5% bodyfat) Allison has a new experiment. She recently discovered the Women’s Ultra Mega (it’s Ultra! And Mega!!) Energy Vitapaks at GNC.

Just a couple of quickie updates for you to get your research fix on: FastingI told you all about the medical benefits of fasting last month, but the NY Times has some new research on the subject. The gist?– Starving all day and then eating an entire day’s worth of calories at night = majorly …
Except nobody knows who I am:) The lovely and talented Hungry Waif (she’s a chef! she blogs! she reviews health food!) interviewed me for her website Nutritious Junk. This makes my first interview since I got my blurb in the town paper for being high school Valedictorian and surprising every old lady in my tiny …
This morning, as the in-laws are still in town (10 days, people!!), I decided to sneak off to the gym in the wee hours of the morning so I could squeeze in a much-needed stress-relieving workout after a lovely relaxing day yesterday of pie and mashed potatoes. So I slipped on my sneaks and new …
I have a very generous watch. No, it didn’t buy me Christian Louboutin boots for Christmas but it gives me something I treasure almost as much. Aw heck, I’ll be honest – probably more: a high calorie burn. Let’s get one thing straight: when I work out, I work out hard. I’ve been known to …
