Sweet Song of the Siren

By jennincat • Dec 31st, 2008

I’m sort of proud of myself today.  Not something that happens a lot since Garbage Girl insists on trying to visit almost every day. Anyway, today is my 365th day without eating any candy or desserts.  If you read yesterday’s blog this is a HUGE accomplishment for me.  Last Christmas when I was in the middle of [...]



My Secret Affair with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

By jennincat • Dec 30th, 2008

This is an old post is from my family blog.  I wrote it October 28, 2006.  Tomorrow it will make sense!    
At home*, we eat healthy or at least what I believe is healthy, basically an organic whole-food kosher diet. Actually, if you know me well, you know I can get a bit obsessive [...]



Skinny Santa

By jennincat • Dec 26th, 2008

is no more.
I made a list (grocery list) and checked it twice then ended up being more naughty than nice.  In other words, I ate enough butter yesterday to cover a pizza the size of a flying saucer.  That is, if you butter pizza and if there are really flying saucers.  Sigh.  I wasn’t nice [...]



Wonderless Bread

By jennincat • Dec 9th, 2008

I feel like Wonder Bread without the wonder: useless. 
Sunday I planned my workouts for the week ready to hit them hard the next morning when instead I woke up Monday hit by something else.  I think it may be the flu.  Ick.  I had no idea this was coming.  I guess nobody does.  My nose [...]



Happy Thanksgiving!

Aftermath & The Birth and Death of the Abbeys

By jennincat • Nov 17th, 2008

I just got back from the gym and planned to only do 20 minutes of HIIT cardio but when I was done I realized I wanted to lift.  Why? After 5 months of intense training I thought I may want to take some time off.  But I realized I love it.  Some things are just [...]



Life : One Rhinestone at a Time

By jennincat • Nov 15th, 2008

I’m down to the last day. I’m a little nervous but also excited to be done. I’m ready to eat something other than chicken and asparagus which is all I’ve had for the last few days.
For the past week and a half I’ve been working on my suits non-stop. Gluing over 2000 little [...]



12 days out from my competition

By jennincat • Nov 3rd, 2008

This explains my roller coaster emotions. Or is it PMS? Probably both.
I can hardly believe I’m less than two weeks out. Probably because I’m lower on carbs than I’m used to and part of my brain has shut down.
Now I know it’s been a rough few weeks and you can hardly sleep [...]



Just because the shoe fits…doesn’t mean you should wear it.

By jennincat • Oct 30th, 2008

Or in my case pants.
So I’ve been storing about 6 pairs of pants for about 10 years in hopes that someday I’d be able to fit back into them. Well that day has come. Today I tried them on and low and behold they fit. But after 10 years they look more [...]



I almost punched her in the face.

By jennincat • Oct 22nd, 2008

Who? You’ll have to keep reading.
I worked up the courage to step on the scale yesterday morning. I had gained 3 pounds. As I said the other day, under “normal circumstances” this would be okay. No big deal. But with the competition coming up it is a big [...]
