crankyreservationist:
Since the article featuring my parents has come out, I’ve been doing some internet searches for responses from other people. It’s kind of cool to see people talking about people that I know and love. However, because the topic is about diets and lifestyle changes, everybody feels the need to explain why <insert dietary choice> doesn’t work and why <insert other...

I'm Calling 2011 a Success
Because I just looked in the mirror and liked what I saw. Bring it, 2012.
I'm Doing a Non-Scale Victory Dance in my Office...
I work across the street from the Macy’s. So, after having given away all my pants at the request of friends, co-workers and Whitney Houston who informed me that crack is, indeed whack and no one needs to see me hike up my pants every 5 minutes—I decided to forgo yoga today and walk across the street to see if they were having any good deals.
So, I’m in the dressing room with a...
Something I Just Realized
Ultimately, I guess I’ve always been obsessed with food and fitness—now I’m just obsessed with it in the RIGHT direction.
The more you know…
Let Me Brag about My Heroes! →
Go, Project Hercules! I’m getting fit and raising much needed money for Ovarian Cancer Research. Let’s kick OC in the ovaries this year!!
Thanks, Friends!
Because of you, I did yoga and feel much better. I also now have Ted Mosby hair.
SOMEONE YELL AT ME!
And tell me to go downstairs and do yoga.
The Music Note Scarf
I have approximately 14,751 music-themed scarves. OK, that’s a slight exaggeration—very slight. The piano key gloves and countless pads of paper that say shopping Liszt are normal holiday gifts from distant family, friends and acquaintances. They used to annoy the living shit out of me. I’d smile politely while inwardly I cringed at the thought that anyone over the age of 5...
I had four holiday cookies
Followed by a morning and afternoon of holiday explosive diarrhea. In between bouts, this Jew sang a lovely solo at church.
I’m going running in the hopes I can get it out of my system.
DC R&R Half Marathon Time Limit
Is 4 hours. Can I do it? EEP.
If Angels Exist
I’m hoping damn hard that Jim Henson, Bea Arthur and Freddie Mercury are watching over me. May you all have a sequined-filled, shoot from the hip, larger than life holiday. Remember: life’s like a movie, write your own ending. keep believing, keep pretending.

Suggestions???????
Eating every 2 hours + 9 hour sleep=happy diva
And I’d like to add that I got on the scale today and have finally seen a drop in weight. Also, I had a dream that I was in an opera with Patty Lupone and Meryl Streep and we were performing it on the Nile, by the pyramids. I’m just going with it.
Because I no longer want to be a holy terror to my...
I have decided to start packing snacks or just suck it up and eat whatever other people are eating, within reason. Low blood sugar is one heck of a mistress.
I would also like to add
That is is so exciting and encouraging to have 213 followers and only 14 of them are my mom!!
Happy Blogiversary to Me!
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I began this roadtrip of public self-reflection, complete with corn nuts and singing with Olivia Newton-John playing loudly on the 8-track. What? You really want to get out and visit the largest ball of twine in the US? OK, hold on, let me get my camera.
I’ve downward dogged, ran some miles, lost nearly 40 lbs and you have been here...
What Should I Sing?
As you all may or may not know, I’m raising $$ for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund in honor of my friend Maya. If you want more info, click on over to Project Hercules on Facebook.
So, December is sing at the metro for $$. And I ask you….what should I sing? I’m taking requests, yo!

Good People of the Tumblr
I did my run. I got to work at 6:30 this morning. Would it be ok to take a nap when I get home before the kids come? Maybe a bath? What say ye?

Damnit you almost made me cry. I fucking love you. I am so here you are here today and happy you have Boo :)
Girl, you know I love you too :)
Listen to Your Heart
On October 20th, 2001 my favorite person in the world died. She waged a five year battle with ovarian cancer and I was honored to live with her during the last weeks of her life. I don’t quite remember where I was when the coroner came to zip her up and drive her away but I caught him as he was about to close the trunk. I was crying hysterically and I said, “open it.” He...
My Relationship With Heavy D
Though I do love Living Large, this post is not about the famed rapper,Dwight Myers, may he rest in peace. No, this is about a longstanding relationship with another heavy d and one that I’ve been dealing with lately—depression.
Who can say if my weight caused the depression or the depression caused my weight—I don’t know but I do know that my mind is sort of like an...
