Quick, name this profession: long, slim, toned bodies poured into tight fitting – but adorable! – clothing and jumping around in front of a bevy of overeager photographers, magazine editors, and camera crews. Oh yeah, and there’s a lot of “grunting” involved (oh, the scandal!).

If youre a baseball fan you may have noticed one of your favorite baseball players wearing what looks like a piece of cord around their neck. More than likely, he is wearing a Titanium necklace made by a company by the name of Phiten.

2009I, like many millions upon millions of people out there am just devastated over the loss of Michael Jackson. You just really don’t realize how much of your life a certain person IS until they’re gone. I’ve been thinking about him all morning. Before I went to sleep last night, I thought of him. I can’t watch the TV coverage or the tributes anymore right now, because they just make me cry.I

Do you like scary movies? Chalk it up to a bad experience with The Changeling (not the Angelina Jolie version but the really old 80’s one) or just an overactive imagination but I normally stay as far away from the scary stuff as possible. The other night however, I found myself parked in front of my computer glued to the scariest movie I’ve seen in the past decade. It had all the makings of a horror flick: wickedly powerful bad guys, gruesome deaths, a citizenry unaware of the disaster just around the corner and just a handful of helpless good guys standing between us and them. The movie that’s been haunting my dreams? The Future of Food.

2009I realized this morning that my last 6 CFB postings have all been nutrition related, and I owe a bunch of avid Catapult Fitness Blog readers (you know who you are!), a Kettlebell workout!

2009….simply because Sharapova is OUT. She got ousted today by Gisela Dulko in the third set. The thing is, I’m wondering if anyone is going to miss Maria’s high pitched grunts and screams, which punctuate each and every stroke she hits. That girl really lays it on thick! Now, I know she’s not the only one, but she’s definitely the grunting QUEEN of tennis. Just listen to these sound effects:

I got an interesting e-mail about a week ago from “Tammy”. She started off good, telling me how funny I am and how much she loves my blog (flattery will get you everywhere with me) but then took a sharp turn off into Marketing LaLa land. You might recognize this place – land of fabled 6′ 120 lb supermodels who eat cheeseburgers instead of salads & drink vodka at 9 am in the pool while the rest of us are working & then walk their dogs if they get to feeling a little puffy. If there are any children present, and there rarely are which is in itself odd considering how much simulated sex is going on, they are motionless mannequins wearing coordinating stainless outfits (top H&M $16.99, skirt Prada Jr. $1,345.99) ignored by a person who looks too young to actually be their parent. Sound familiar? Yeah. We’d all like to live there.

“Country Blue” melamine flatware is what I grew up eating off of. You will excuse my parents for their apparent lack of taste – it was the ’80s so both melamine and country blue were omnipresent and with three little kids they were just being practical. Eventually they moved on and my mother purchased a set of beautiful white and red stonewear that looks much better in the family holiday dinner pics. The problem? I haven’t moved on. That’s right, I am eating off the same dishes today that I did as kid. Those little blue plates, now slightly chipped with some discoloration, have moved with me to college, off to my first job, when I got married and up to this very day. In fact, right now I have a blue salad plate sitting right next to my elbow with the remains of my muy delicioso lunch (thanks to Gym Buddy Krista!) on it.

Since arriving home this weekend I’ve spent the better part of the past 2 days food shopping, analyzing/modifying recipes and cooking.
