my kitty hasn't pooped in 3 days.

and sadly folks that's not METAPHORICALLY speaking. Really he hasn't gone #2 since about Sunday. I noticed yesterday morning his litterbox was empty and then it occured to me he hadn't been eating very well or drinking much water since the weekend. S

speed round

Tuesday, 29 June 2004 10:27 A GMT-08
So today was the debut of my noon-time Turbokick speed round cardio class here at work. Basically Turbokick took out half of the warmup, 2 of the cardio sections, the cooldown and the abs and stretch. What you are left with is 30 minutes of kick ass

11 days

I have been sick for *11* days now. It's driving me insane. I'm still hacking and coughing and have my left ear all clogged shut. At least my hives disappeared about 3 mornings ago, finally I can cope with just the cold now. Ugh. What's worse? Mr. Yo

Yoqua teacher training

Sunday, 27 June 2004 8:03 A GMT-08
Saturday was spent up in College Station (home of Texas A and M) at an all day "Yoqua" teacher training. I signed up for the thing about a month ago and although still not feeling good I went because I wouldn't have been able to get my $185

a view from the couch..

Thursday, 24 June 2004 7:10 P GMT-08
this has pretty much been my point of reference for the last 3 days and likely it won't change much for tomorrow. Sitting on the couch, dressed in yoga or track pants and flip flops, kippy on the lap, surrounded by kleenex, and with the TV on.  z

last night was one of those enchanted evenings. the temperature outside was cool (okay 79 in June in Houston is pretty awesome) and our pool temperature was about 83. The rain had stopped for an hour or two and it seemed just perfect for a midnight

I'm not exactly a rising phoenix yet...maybe more of a wobbly parakeet. You know you're starting to feel better when you start to clean up the piles of MESS that surround you and your "sick sofa".  You  know ....the wads of used kleene

get a seething cold virus and spend all night sitting up in bed hacking your lungs out. OWWWWCH. I feel like a truck has run over my body ..again and again and again. Okay maybe not my WHOLE body, just the midsection.  I managed somehow to get thro

I can't hear you .... I must have a banana in my ear. Damn it sure feels like it. My head is clogged beyond belief this morning..the right side way more than the left. I absolutely hate head colds. And I hate head colds that clog up your ears even

from under my rock. I must have caught a NYC bug...and my body isn't happy. Ever get your throat so sore that your uvula swells up and chokes you in the middle of the night? Ack indeed!!! Yesterday it felt like a big huge swollen pendulum sitting in

I was fully prepared to eat on plan today. Grilled chicken and brocolli waited patiently all morning for me in the lab refrigerator. Then just as I popped the lid to stick it into the microwave to heat up, the chicken literally FLEW out of the contai

Kipper Time

Wednesday, 16 June 2004 9:59 P GMT-08
Okay a Kipper update. He's too squirmy lately to weigh but I think he's probably 4.5 pounds by now and growing by the minute. He's sharp as a tack too. He learned to sit and shake hands in less than an hour. He also blew me away 2 nights ago by doing

MOVIN' OUT: A REVIEW

Wednesday, 16 June 2004 12:32 P GMT-08
It's not your typical musical. There's no dialogue throughout the entire show. It's all interpretive dance sequences set to Billy Joel's hits. The stage is set up in 2 parts, the main stage where all of the dancing occurs, and then there's this movab

It's official, I'm certifiable!

still. I'm off today recuperating from my whirlwind weekend in NYC. It feels good to be home again, curled up on the sofa, remote in hand, with Kipper gnawing on a rawhide by my side.  Here are some of my observations: We discovered you have to sn

preface..

Wednesday, 9 June 2004 10:35 A GMT-08
I really should have elaborated on that post this morning... What I listed out earlier is NOT a typical day in yogagirl land. No NOT indeed. Most days involve MUCH more food, things like beer...even on weeknights (bad yogagirl) and carbs and protein

okay so the past few months I've let things slide a bit. I've been resting on my laurels so to speak and using the excuse I workout like a crazy person to compensate for the fact my diet consists of complete CRAP. I have to say I'm already feeling m

ahem. I'm sick today. Okay not really....but I'm playing a sick person on TV. It's just very rainy, gloomy, the chances for water yoga getting canceled tonight are GREAT and I'd rather not haul my ass into the lab to work in a 8  foot by 12 foot cl
