Matt and I bonded over biking. He's back on the road and I say: Stay safe out there! No more crashes.
Everywhere I go, people tell me they saw me on the Today show last week, talking about the dangers of certain generic drugs.
Now I don't want anyone to be alarmed about a generic pain med or something that you can save money on OTC, but if you're on a specific Rx and you have a reaction to the generic, we at SELF want you to know you can ask your M.D. to write a prescription for the brand-name drug and insist on being offered that.

Friday is National Bike to Work Day and I want YOU to try it. If Friday doesn't work, it can be any day—it's actually Bike to Work Month, so you can do it whenever your schedule allows. I tried it this morning and loved it. Read More »

You will all be relieved to know that my foot is better and now I can help YOU with your foot problems, too, since it's as simple as using a little ball to massage the sole. I had a visit from Polly Demille yesterday from the esteemed Hospital for Special Surgery here in NYC, and she brought with her this cute little pouch of rubber balls of three different sizes and she taught me a method called MELT that uses the balls to massage your foot and help you release the tension there. It was fascinating to see how these balls, when used as pressure-point release therapy, really worked to relax and soothe my feet, especially my plantar fasciitis. Read More »

First stop: Check out the new 5-Star Day widget.
OK, I turn on my computer and Yahoo comes popping up—I love this homepage since it always refreshes and tells me cool facts and useful items and yes, breaking news. It's where I learn about things like Ashton's Twitter surpassing the 1 million followers mark and beating CNN and the release of the ship captain and other news. And then I also see (every now and then) my own content from SELF, like how to eat to be healthier and lose weight. Well, I have a new application that, while not at an Ashton level of popularity, is certainly worthy of a gander: It's the SELF 5-Star Day, and it's so easy to use that you can lose weight no matter what you like to do for exercise or how you want to define your own healthy diet.

She swung by the office yesterday and told us about all her amazing projects from HSN to her new skin products (the woman has the MOST gorgeous complexion) and the fact that she is writing a book and oh, yes, almost forgot, just opened a new school in Kenya for kids in need. Serena had beaten her big sis, Venus, the night before at Madison Square Garden, and I love how sweet and soft-spoken she is, as well as beautifully put together, the hair very Marilyn, the body strong and curvy and totally hot (yes, I can say that!) and her creative mind is always churning.

Last night I was interviewed by Access Hollywood about Jessica Simpson. Yes, we would love to have her for the cover and were in discussions about shooting her, but she couldn't find the time and we decided it was best to wait till her schedule abated and we could do it right, in a sunny, beautiful place, with her feeling relaxed and happy.
Jessica's last cover for SELF, in September 2007

My music is really inspiring me now. I told everyone this and you'll see me walking around with my adorable little orange Shuffle, which I am totally hooked on. Here is my recent playlist that gets me moving and helps me go the distance (like for more than an hour some days!)

This morning I appeared on the Today show (watch the clip here!) to announce the winners of SELF's ninth annual Best Places for Women survey, and I tried to emphasize that wherever you are and however your hometown ranks, you can live a healthy life and influence those around you to do the same. And yet, all I have been doing the past four days is eating and hanging out. With all the formal meals and the more casual ones, I found this weekend the most challenging in a long while. Read More »

The truth is, I love a good pasta dish and especially all the cheese on top. So when SELF decided to put chef Giada De Laurentiis on our December cover, it was with the understanding that she would show us how to eat healthy and love every bite during this season, when it's more fun to pull on a big sweater and not worry about fitting in every cardio session. The holidays, after all, center around family and traditions, and more often than not that means food! Hearty, tasty, fattening and carb-a-licious food. Like pasta! Read More »

I watched the NYC Marathon yesterday and was struck by how happy people looked running, even at mile 23 and during what is supposed to be the agony of the last half hour. And when I went swimming, for the third straight day, the gym was packed. In the pool, the lanes were so crowded that you had to... Read More »
