First – If you’ve ever commented on my site, you’ll notice I use a plug-in widget called Intense Debate. It’s better than Blogger’s native commenting system (allows for threading, e-mail replies, IP tracking etc.) but it’s also terribly buggy. It’ll work perfectly for months and then out of the blue go haywire and eat a …

Tuesday was a very special day here at the Great Fitness Experiment. I got to do my second-ever blogger meet up! (Kara of Mama Sweat was my first.) Katie of Making Food and Stuff was up here in the arctic wasteland visiting family and she generously (naively?) offered to come do a workout with the …

Betrayed by my body. Well it wouldn’t be the first time, I thought grimly as I sat in my flimsy paper gown listening to the doctor explain the results of my previous testing. (Dear doctor, please at least allow me the dignity of being lectured with my clothes on next time.) Seriously rank flatulence in …

This year I resolve to not chase any lions. 3 days down, so far so good! How much do I love this time of year? The lack of daylight, the 4-foot-high snowdrifts, the post-holiday let down illustrated by the pile of already discarded Christmas presents that I keep tripping over (little ingrates!).

Click picture to enlarge. I wish I had a source for this, it’s hilarious! Fragile. Tiny. Vulnerable. Weak. I’ll admit it: I liked being those things. For a long time (most of my life?), I enjoyed people grabbing my arm and cooing “Oh, I’ve never seen such a tiny wrist!” I liked that men got …
