Today I took my jump rope practice to a whole new level:  no longer 1 minute on and 1 minute off, I began doing 2 minutes on and 1 off.  (I still jumped for a total of 12 minutes, but split up differently it was somehow even more intense and more playful.) I experienced this greater freedom and e...

Some don’t like the expression “cheat day” –– from Body for Life –- but I decided it was really necessary after 8 days in a row of Bikram and jump roping and seeking cash injections (I also like that phrase’s junkie implications.) So today, other than a beach walk with Susan, and a ...

No Self-Promotion –– Just Jump Rope, Bikram, and Belle –– A Saturday (Off)!

One of those against all odds things happened today in Words With Friends: In the last round, I got J, Q, and Z –– each worth ten points (because they are so challenging to place) –– and practically nowhere to place them since the board was filled.  Even lame places, like non-T...

Just spent the last 3.5 hours going through my personal address book and it was mind-boggling. SO MANY PEOPLE come and go in one’s life! Because I’ve worked on so many projects where I’ve been intensely involved with someone for a short stretch it makes sense to add them to my phone.  The...

[By the way, the world jump roping record is 27 hours –– which is clearly quite insane.] The plot has thickened at Bikram in that I now know my enemy’s na...

I do like this Bikram quote: “Never too old, never too bad, never too late, never too sick to start from scratch once again.” (Bikram Choudhury) But I definitely like jumping rope even more. This entry is short because I’ve been working up a storm all day.  MAJOR fundraising + finishing the draft for...

Well, I’m actually not including any of them here –– I’m not that much of a masochist –– but I received them from Cody tonight and they are AWESOME.  [If you haven’t been reading faithfully, I did a photoshoot last week at my heaviest weight before beginning m...

Jonah’s lemonade stand today was a triumph –– a $40 profit –– assisted by his charm, of course, but really he did have an astonishingly great location on the Greenwich Steps.  Parades of tourists passing by, ready and willing to purchase a cookie and a beverage (and most ...
