Wow, gorgeous outfits. I'm saving this post for future reference. You always have such creative styling ideas.

That Ann Taylor dress is to die for!

I am so excited for you. On the flip side, I hate you because you get to do this and I want to. :D That is so wonderful that you are able to stay in Paris for free. Yay!!! And you deserve it - you've had some stresses this year and it will be great for you to get away and have a change of scenery.

Very impressive, my friend.

That picture and the caption about thee bubble gum is HYSTERICAL.

You are right about the cost of Pilates - at my gym, to take the classes with the reformers, it's an extra $400 for 8 weeks/2x per week.

There is a Yoga studio nearby, though, that has reformer classes for $25/session. I am thinking I might take some here and there. It''s easier to spend $25 here and there than to pay $400 upfront.

I can't even tell you the last time I was in anything other than a grocery store. I do all of my shopping online, mostly on Amazon. Even some of my clothes come from there

If I am shopping for clothes, I have signed up for emails from the site (Old Navy, Junonia, etc) and I wait until it's a great deal.

Absolutely everything is marked sky-high. I worked for an online furniture store once and everything was marked up at least 100%, if not more.

OMG, I laughed so hard about the car incident - mostly about the wife's reaction. I can picture it all in my head so easily. :D

I would say that I started exercising because I wanted to improve my chances at losing weight. And while I loved the feeling at the end of the exercise, I really didn't enjoy the exercise itself after awhile.

I started out swimming, which I loved as a child and really missed as an adult. And I enjoyed it, but it's a huge pain - the suit, the changing in the locker room, drying off, trying to get your bra back on when you're still damp....

And then I moved on to walking because I knew weight-bearing exercise was really good for you. But I really didn't love the way I felt afterward - extremely tired and beat down.

Then I found Yoga. I was instantly hooked. Now I love going to my classes 5 days per week. I don't feel as exhausted. And I don't feel beat down - I feel calm and rejuvenated.

I think that his numbers could be accurate depending on where you live. The US is the only country where we pay a premium on fresh fruits and veggies.

The idea proffered makes sense, as processed foods are so much cheaper and easier for most folks. AND, when I was in dire straights financially, it seemed cheaper to me to spend $3-4 at a time at a fast food joint than $100 in one big gulp at the grocery store.

That was hilarious. I actually have tried the rower, but it kills my knees (the old-school rowers).

I'm trying to think, mentally going through the machines in my gym, and I can't think of anything that I haven't tried at least once. OOOOO, The Gazelle thingy - it's like that, but by someone else. I've never tried that!

While everyone seems to be focusing on her measurements, keep in mind that you can see 10 different people who are 5'8" and 132 lbs and they will all look different, a everyone carries weight differently.

I think her manager should be shot - if anyone saw the Hooters episode of Undercover Boss, you would know that the he fits in with the male manager on that episode as a pig.

But, on the flip side, everyone knows what Hooters girl is supposed to look like. And yes, just like the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, you have to fit the uniform, no matter what your height and weight are.

I have not ever had one that was anorexic or bulimic. Just ones like me - overweight.

I am glad that there is a place for people like Emily to go. I wish that there were more like it for all types of eating disorders.

You need a Kindle. :D I figured out last year that I spent $800 in books. So buying the Kindle @ $260 and then spending less on the books I would read anyway actually saved me money. Plus, all of the classics are free on Kindle. AND, they have a lot of other freebies that have started me on new series.

Cuz you know where you like to take your books? So does everyone else.

And I worked in a public library for a time and my hands were filthy when I processed the incoming books. That's why I can't ever take books from a library again.
