My constant battle of the bulge is more like the battle to conceal the bulge. I have mastered the fine art of "hiding my physical flaws" which include: my arms, my thighs, and my belly. I gained some weight. I gained enough weight that I can see the difference from photos taken two years ago. My face is fuller, my back thicker but the biggest change is my hanging belly. This sucker is new to me. I have been heavier before but I think my advanced age has messed with the elasticity of my skin ... …

The Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl – Oops.
Oops. My bad. On March 22 I posted about my plans to get into shape for my NYC club debut at City Winery NY on July 2. I must be accountable, even if it is to cyberspace. And now it's time to check in. I worked at it. Lost quite a few pounds and then ... well, I reckon I just plum forgot. I reckon I just didn't give a damn for a few weeks. I think it was watching myself on video that prompted my last weight related post. Today's post was prompted by my condition after some walking I did …
