2009I just have to wonder and therefore ask; what the hell is wrong with some people who take yoga at the gym? There is this air of rudeness, arrogance and self absorbedness from this particular group of exercisers that I just don’t see (to the same level and degree) in the rest of the gym population. Not to say that other gym members aren’t rude and inconsiderate at times, but the yoga folks take

It’s official: I am half way done with my pregnancy! With 20 weeks under my metaphorical belt – like I could get an actual belt on these days – and perhaps less to go if the universe loves me, I feel pretty excited about this milestone. As I’m looking obviously pregnant now, there are many upsides – I’m starting to look cute in maternity clothes, hopefully we’ll find out the gender soon (my ultrasound is on the 30th) and I get to park in the mother-to-be parking spots without feeling guilty. (Side note: pregnant women do not need special parking spots, really. You know who does? New moms. The baby is relatively easy to carry as long as it’s tucked in your abdomen but add colic, a car seat, a diaper bag and older siblings and you need valet parking just to go to the grocery store. Seriously.)

I am not prone to cursing but this weekend this blog had me all up in 4-letter arms. I sometimes forget that even though I’m surrounded by my warm, cozy, supportive group of about 30 or so regular commenters that tens of thousands of other people read this site. Some of them very strange people indeed. You know what? I don’t mind the strange ones. I certainly don’t mind people telling me I’m wrong. I love a debate. But someone telling me I should be murdered? I mind.

2009…I’m just busy as hell right now. That’s a good thing, trust me. I know I’ve been slow with the posts, but don’t worry…I’ve got the next 10 already in my brain. I just need to sit down long enough to get them on here. I also have to do other 50 other more pressing things first.Running my boot camps and kickboxing classes in the park (as well as 3 Meetup groups), plus being my own

2009Since Endolymphatic Hydrops is an idiopathic condition (meaning that the cause is unknown), doctors simply treat the symptoms, rather than trying to cure the condition itself.

A woman in step class was wearing a black lace bra. Not underneath anything, as bras are generally meant to be worn. Not even on top of something, Madonna-style (is it just me or is she coming up an awful lot on here lately??) which quite truthfully would have been preferable. Nope, it was black bike shorts (Spanx?), a large expanse of untoned pasty flesh and then black lace, delicate straps and underwire. In the gym.

2009While being on a very low sodium diet these past few weeks has proved challenging, truth be told, it’s not nearly as difficult as I initially thought.
