Yep. I'm still working out. I have gone to the gym regularly and when I don't make it downtown to the Trump I have made use of my very well equipped home gym. My equipment may be "old school" but it still works the same muscle groups as the new-fangled stuff! …
The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: In the Gym.
I have a confession to make. I have never worked out in front of other humans in a health club. I have briefly looked in on and walked through a few gyms in my life and frankly, they scared me. I walk into a gym and I am immediately that girl in junior high: the last one picked for the team, out of sorts and painfully aware of my overweight body.

The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: The Middle Seat.
I was so excited about my trip to Colorado that I forgot about my seat assignment anxiety. Seat 21E. E as in EEEK, Egads! the middle seat! I board the plane.

No offense to Spanx wearers, but Spanx ain't a girdle, not according to my standards. If it can be folded flat into a sleeve for retail display, like a pair of panty hose or panties, …
The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl: Backsliding & Baby-steps.
September has not been a stellar month for my permanent lifestyle change efforts. In one aspect it has been a good month because I have been very busy performing - which translates to physical activity - dancing and movement onstage, walking up and down stairs to and from my apartment to go to work. On the other hand, I have given very little attention to house cleaning, or watching everything that goes into my mouth. The good news is that I have not completely gone off the path to a …
