My husband is Austrian, not American. He has been here since he was like 20, but English is not his first language. Today at lunch, he mentioned that he’d gotten something done that has been on our List for a long, long time. My response was “Awesome!” He thought about that (what was there to […]

Macros and Zone and…Divots (Oh my!)
Dr. Barry Sears’ The Zone. Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past like 20 years, you’ve heard of Dr. Barry Sears’ The Zone eating plan. My husband and I actually quite successfully followed the prescriptions of this eating plan when it first was published, though we fell off the wagon because of the […]
Mo’ Macros… Mo’ Macros…
Ooooookay, you’ve asked some questions about what I wrote in my Krissy Mae Cagney/Flexible Dieting blog post, which I think I better clarify, because those of you asking the questions actually dutifully bought the Flexible Dieting book, and are still confused. (I also have an “oopsie” confession to make, after reading a third KMC book […]
Best salty/sweet snack EVER.
Oh for goodness’ sake. This is my favorite salty/sweet snack (du jour)…. Have you tried KIND bar’s “Strong and KIND” Honey Smoked BBQ bar? Nom Nom Nom. I thought this was going to be the weirdest experience EVER. (They have these at Trader Joe’s, so I picked one up in my “forage when I’m starving” […]
Krissy Mae Cagney Sexy Sculpt: Week One, Check!
Just finished my first week of the Krissy Mae Cagney Sexy Sculpt program, as accented by “Bo-gramming.” You, yes you, are a bad *ss. The program really is pointing up my weaknesses, which I like. It’s also – through feedback from my “Sculpt Buddy” Claire from Girls Gone WOD Podcast – pointing out where I […]
Sexy Sculpt & Flexible Eating (Krissy Mae Cagney)
Well, first of all, if you don’t know who Krissy Mae Cagney is, watch this. (Even if you DO know… watch this đ ) I “discovered” Krissy Mae Cagney via her interview on Girls Gone WOD Podcast. Then, Claire of GGW posted that KMC’s books were half off for Black Friday, so I picked up […]
I’m baaa-aaack…and cryin’ at Crossfit again ;-)
Where have I been? Oh boy . . . The super duper short answer is that I had my computer and purse stolen recently, plus my cell phone went haywire, and trying to replace and regroup has taken an inordinate amount of time and energy. I still am not totally over it – still haven’t […]
Amazing Race 25 – Episode One!
A watch with a compass. Who wudda thunk it? The Amazing Race, Season 25 (wow!) started this week. And the team that came in far and away in first place was able to do so, because a team member had a watch with a compass on it. (SPOILER ALERT, don’t keep reading if you haven’t seen […]
Awesome Travel Pants for Tall Legs and Crossfit ‘Booty’
As many of you know, the entire first chapter of my first book is dedicated to “clearing out” your life – and being ready for anything. This past Labor Day, for me, was all about attacking the entropy that had overwhelmed parts of my life . . . which means culling through clothing, etc. ruthlessly. […]
Alison Armstrong from UnderstandingMen.com
Today, I received an email newsletter from UnderstandingMen.com. Many moons ago, I attended a number of Alison’s workshops, and in fact, back in 2008, I was honored to be the first person to interview Alison for a podcast! I wanted to share a quote found in the newsletter, because it pretty much sums up the […]
