I get a lot of flak about my diet. I eat low-carb most of the time. Not super-strict, like Atkins — though I’ve done the Atkins Diet and liked it pretty well — but more a “careful carb choice” approach. I eat far less bread and fewer grain products than most people I know. I […]

My life has been lived in a raging hurry the last few weeks. Catching up at work from a vacation. Running to various doctor appointments. Getting kids ready for, and off to, summer camp. Fighting with the ex. Yard sales. Curriculum fairs. And a multitude of other activities. And it hasn’t ended yet. But that’s […]

I have long been a member of the Lemonade Brigade, and have appreciated the health benefits of an annual extended cleansing fast called the Master Cleanse (affectionately known as the “Lemonade Diet”). There’s a pretty sizeable group of people who do this cleanse regularly, and we “meet” on Peter Glickman’s website, where there are discussion […]

This past weekend was unbelievably full. I’m not complaining. I had a lot of fun, and I wouldn’t have missed one minute of any one thing that I did. But it did underscore for me how very important it is to plan ahead if you want to maintain your sanity. We prepared for our weekend on Wednesday […]

I want to add a bit more to my post from yesterday about my experience with doctors. Please understand, I know that there are good, conscientious, respectful doctors out there. My brother is married to one. My headache specialist, chiropractor, and dentist are three more. My new internist, though her wait times are terrible, is […]

I have impeccable timing. Really, I do. Take my weight and health issues, for instance. For over a decade, I have been between 80 and 100 pounds overweight. I was doing really well in 1999–2000, losing weight and feeling great, when some naysayers who didn’t approve of my diet plan convinced me that I should […]

I just need to rant for a minute here. For the record, not all fat people are out there scarfing down enough food at a single meal to feed a third-world country for a week. Not all of us are slobby couch-potatoes who watch our expanding waistlines with complacent tolerance. Not all of us are […]

Today was “Cake Day” at the office. That ‘s the last Friday of the month. We all wear jeans to the office (even the corporate executives!) and we get together at 1600 for half an hour of cake and ice cream. The cake has the names of all of the people who celebrated a birthday […]

I don’t know what this is about, and these little suckers are definitely not low-carb, but I can’t stop eating peanut M&Ms. I usually don’t like them. At all. But for the last few weeks, they have been my most-wanted snack. I’ll be glad when this passes; although, with all of the things I’m doing […]

Yeah, and it’s only Monday. What can I say? It’s just that I finally start making headway on getting the house in order on weekends, only to have to stop and go to my job on Monday — the job that keeps that roof over my head. By the time the weekend rolls around again, […]
