True to my SELF: How to stay motivated
Another true confession: Sometimes I just don't want to get out of bed in the morning to fit in my workout. Sometimes I just want to sleep in, then make a pot of coffee and read the paper.

Body of Work: Buying a bike was the best idea I ever had
This was the best idea I ever had, I told E. Buying a bike. And he agreed with me. He doesn't usually agree with me. Usually, he positively delights in arguing with me, but this time, I am unequivocally correct, in my judgment, here. Buying a bike has been so good for me, and my sense of...

The Elastic Waist Book Club: Half-Assed: A Weight-Loss Memoir
