Fitness Friday: A 'Rolling With It' Photo Essay

It doesn’t matter what your family life or your situation is, (staying at home, working, wife, not wife, student, husband, boyfriend, kids, no kids…) life just has this very peculiar talent for getting completely in the way of whatever it is you are doing or shooting for. Swine flu, the economy, ingrown toe-nail, you know. It’s [...]

Rosemary Sweet Potato Steak Fries

Who here likes fries?  I know my family sure does.  Sunday is a family day at my parents house.  It has been for years.  A lot of times, fries are included with dinner.  For a long, long time I have avoided eating fries, and it’s kind of a bummer.  Okay, it’s a big bummer.  So, [...]

The(new and improved)Hood

Gather ’round Sisters and Brothers, because I have a very exciting story to tell. You see, it all started about a year ago when a couple of girls with uncomfortably tight jeans decided they wanted to shrink, and encourage other people to shrink, too. Then they recruited a guy, which kinda screwed up the whole [...]

Loving the Journey

When Daniel was kicked off The Biggest Loser last season, my heart broke into a million pieces. I wanted that child, (he was only a teenager!!) to have the opportunity to change his life. He wasn’t just the youngest person on the Biggest Loser ever, but the biggest person on the Biggest Loser ever! And [...]
