Trust me, it’s worth it:) Over 1500 inmates doing the Michael Jackson Thriller dance (strangely appropriate, no?) in the Cebu Provincial Prison in the Phillipines are on to something – exercise that …

An interesting thing happened to me over the past several weeks & I don’t quite know how to explain it. First let me tell you the numbers.Jan 28 – Feb 2: I gained 0.5 lbs per day, for a net gain of 3.5 poundsFeb 4 – Feb 8: I lost 0.5 lbs per day, for …
Me: No, I just really want the friggin’ ice cream. Now out of my way or I’ll cut you, foo. One of the things every dieter knows is that people eat for other reasons besides hunger. I guess I have always accepted this food-as-panacea argument. After all, how would you test it? Make people stop …

And it’s not rhetorical – I really want an answer! What is UP with all the ads with practically naked women with fully clothed men? I just don’t get it. Not that anyone wants to see Will Ferrell naked. Egads. But still. You never see ads the other way around, with naked men and fully …

And now you can’t get the image out of your mind. You’re welcome.) Actually it was Angie Harmon in a string bikini standing in the water. And the tagline read …
I am in a foul mood today. I woke up, at 4:45 am courtesy of my baby, generally ticked off and my day only got worse. So I did what I always do when I get in a funk: call my sister and whine. And then I went around to various health & fitness blogs …
I didn’t know there was a problem with my nose until I was 24. Really and truly. I walked around this planet for 24 years wearing that thing in front of my face and I never once noticed anything awry in the mirror. But I learned better that fateful spring morning. A new mom, I …
