A year ago today, after months of avoiding the place, I went back to Curves.
On August 12, eighteen days after my first workout back, I had my first measure-in/weigh-in since that February. The news wasn’t good. At 140, I weighed more than I’d ever weighed. While I wasn’t overweight, I didn’t feel good, physically or [...]

I was initially annoyed that I water colored all over [...]

When I started swimming laps in May, Ed went with me the first time. He planned to swim, but quickly learned [...]

Ed and I play The Grocery Game,* which helps us buy groceries and hygiene products, including razors, inexpensively. As a result, we have a LOT of razors. Recently, I realized I needed a new razor when I was already in the shower, so Ed went and grabbed me one.
He grabbed the Venus Spa Breeze. BEST [...]
