Vacation = diet down the tubes

I'm over at the Girls, God, and the Good Life blog today with some random thoughts on healthy living while on vacation:



I'm going on vacation and I'll turn into a blimp!



Camy here! And that's exactly what I was fearing the weeks before my vacation. I'm sure at least some of you can relate, yes?

Thinking of getting a Kindle or a Nook?

Now's the time to do it!



[image error]







My agent and many of my friends have Kindles and love them.

I'm on deadline

Captain's Log, Stardate 06.23.2010



In case any of you were wondering why I haven't posted regularly for the past month or two, I'm on deadline. My email Inbox has 800 messages, I haven't checked most of my email loops in forever, and my house has accumulated tumbleweeds of dog hair and cat-sized dust bunnies. (It was a choice between exercise and cleaning house, so I was selfish and chose me. :)



I've even reduced the number of days per week that I cook for Captain Caffeine, who has taken i...

I'm crazy--I love running!

Captain's Log, Stardate 06.21.2010



Some of you may not be on Facebook or Twitter and may not yet have heard me gushing (ad nauseum) about my new hobby!



I have never been able to say that before I started the Jeff Galloway running program, but now I can really say I love running!
