www.marriedtothesea.com Gym Buddy Allison and I share many similarities: young children, a deep love of garage sales and thrift stores, and the same dark hair/light skin that always makes people ask us if we are sisters. Or just confuse one of us for the other. (Hint: she’s the taller one with whiter teeth and shiny …

Downward Facing Dog – with the advanced tongue option. Sit at a computer long enough (and you know you do), eventually your shoulders start to tighten up to your ears, your spine rounds out as you slump, your quads and hamstrings tighten up from being in the sitting position so long and – worst of …

Has there ever been a better-named snack than this one? Why do we not have these in the US?? I need some crunky nudity! “What smells like… salsa?” My coworker at the computer lab (told you I was a born nerd!) looked around until his eyes settled on me, eating lunch tucked into my cubicle. …

As demonstrated by Jelly Bean. Little Sister looooves her blueberries! Now if only I could learn to eat with such glee – although I daresay I couldn’t get away with taking my shirt off and rolling in it like she does. Ah, the privileges of youth! (Not that you asked but as I feel like …
Diana Vishneva, ballerina Plank. Push-ups. Wall sits. This week, one of the trainers at my Y has been doing fitness challenges every day. It’s nothing more sophisticated than a marker board, an “official” timer and a mat on the floor down by the front doors. Winners get no finisher’s medal, no t-shirt, not even an …
At first blush the proposed ban in New York City on using food stamps to buy soda seemed like an excellent idea to me. I haven’t drank a soda in years. I haven’t missed it either – while ice cream is the monkey on my back, for whatever reason soda was a piece of cake …
