I Love Vacation. My Waistline Does Not.
I love vacation. I love Tahiti. Alas, rich French foods all day everyday for 7 days + minimal activity + 4 days of Vegas over indulgence = an unwanted additional 15 pounds. * By “minimal activity”, I mean besides lifting my wine glass to my lips, pointing to random fish/clams and announcing their presence to … Continue reading
It’s Official. I’m Addicted.
Now that my marathon cherry has been popped at the Happiest Place On Earth, I realized a few things. 1. I still have a hard time believing I accomplished this. 2.

Those are like marathons too….except the most physically taxing things I did during those hours include lifting the remote and speed dialing Pizza … Continue reading
