…in maybe just about everything. I know I said I wouldn’t talk about work as it pertains to my actual work, but I’m really proud to be a member of Edelman’s Global Women Executive Network (“GWEN” for short), as well as being proud of a recent blog post written by my company’s CEO, Richard Edelman,…
No excuses
The toughest thing I’m learning about juggling a baby and the rest of it AND working on getting back in shape is that I have no room for error. When I (gag) put myself on my calendar and dedicate time to working out, that has to be the time. Chances are I won’t be able…
Uncle
I feel like I hit a brick wall today. And then tried to plow through it. And then build it back up. This is me tonight. Frankly, this is me and what I look like most nights. Splotchy, baggy-eyed, and, apparently, sporting gills on my chin. (What the heck, age? God getting old is just…
The Three Pillars
If you’ve been around me in the past couple of months, and dared to broach to me the subject of being a mother and the concept of “having it all,” you’ll hear me say what I know I’ve mentioned here: You can have it all, you just can’t have it all at the same time….
New look
Hi there! You may have noticed things look a little different around here. I”m busier than a one-armed paper hanger at the moment but we’ll have this all done in a jiffy!
Month Six
Dear Abigail – Not long ago, I held a two-week-old baby. She was roughly the same size you were when you were born, exactly half a year ago. She felt so delicate, so tiny. So baby-like. It of course immediately occurred to me that there was no way around that you were once that small,…
Points, Schmoints
Sometimes I eat something for which the amount of work it would take to ascertain the Weight Watchers Points would almost count as activity points.
And we have liftoff
I have officially lost all of the baby weight. For those of you counting at home, that’s 34 pounds I’ve lost since giving birth. Eight of that was baby. The rest was mine to deal with on my own. I’m happy – not, you know, happier than say if I’d won an Oscar, but certainly…
So there you have it…
…most of you are old LTB readers! Well, not all, but from the emails and comments, it’s pretty clear you’re all fitness/health folks. I won’t lie: this brings me great relief. As much as I keep this blog for me, it’s nice to have a few readers and people to get ideas from once in…
There
Today I ducked out of a company off-site meeting/party. The meeting was over, the lunch had been served and I, well, I have a hard time socializing in overwhelmingly large groups of people, even when those people are folks I adore. And I do adore the folks with whom I work every day. I’m lucky…
World’s Worst Blogger
Oh I am an awful blogger. I have about five posts that I’ve started and stopped a few times in the past month and at some point, usually around 9 p.m., I just shut the laptop and get ready for bed. Writing here, or at least trying to write something of quality, has been too…
Month Five
Dear Monks – You’re Five-Months-Old today. To celebrate, you woke yourself up at 3 a.m. by flipping over on to your belly, once again, and you were completely pissed off by the whole situation, once again. Oh, my love, you are my daughter, through and through. It is my fear (and I suppose somewhat my…

This stuff is amazing. Get it. Your dry, cracked skin will thank you.

This sits proudly on my desk. I love it so much.

I saved up and planned for these puppies. Some of the best money I've ever spent. I love these more than I can say.
-
I decided to try enhancement products when I was training for my second marathon this year. I chose these and love them.
