The Skinny

I had no intention of exposing my bare midriff here for three weeks,
but life has been a little busy.








We hosted two parties in one day
then jumped in the car and drove to Oregon
where we all got sick
and couldn't wait to come home
so we could crash for a week and recover.

The good news is that the head cold
on top of the stomach flu
which triggered a migraine
and sent me to the ER
for two bags of IV fluid and a wicked drug cocktail
helped me reach my weight loss goal.

Hip, hip, hooray for
diet, exercise, and viruses
or
homecooking, housework, and life.

Either way
I'm feeling much better
and looking better than ever.

Aidan told me that I'm fitting into my body
and I couldn't agree more.

I just wish I could find a pair of jeans that fit as well as my skin
and time to post more about our paleo experiment.

But to be honest, I'd rather wear running pants
and sprint around my neighborhood,
then repeat a few rounds of squats, crunches, and push-ups
before heading back to the kitchen
to cook some meat and vegetables.

That's the skinny.

  2. I'm so sorry you got sick. Next time we're getting together for sure. And I want to hear more about how you're looking and feeling. It may be time for me to take that plunge.

  3. "fitting into your body" i love that! such a good description, kinda profound even, and from a young one.

    i've had our dogs on the paleo diet for a couple of years on the advice of their vet. i think it's time for me to get on it.

    glad you're all feeling better.

  7. What a bummer that you all got sick on your trip! It sounds like you got *really* sick! So sorry. In my rushed recent emails, I forgot to even ask about your trip. :-(

    (At least you got to Powell's, I see. And look at that gorgeous reflective landscape. Lots of that on I-5.)

    Can't wait to see you and your well-fit skin tomorrow!
