Low-Cal, High-Protein Breakfast or Snack

Need a quick pick-me-up? Try fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese with some crushed pineapple. You get your calcium, protein, and vitamin C all in one tasty shot! It’s cheap, easy, and OH so delicious.
Here’s mine from the other day. Mmmmm…..

Acne Inspiration

After reading and thinking about Cory’s post yesterday, I finally broke down and bought the acne treatment package I’ve been eyeing at Costco for the last month and a half: AcneFree, from University Medicine.
It’s one of those “compare to Proactiv!” deals.

3-step formula
Cleanser, toner, repair lotion
Time-release, 24-hour acne fighting protection
Use twice a day

But this stuff, at […]

Stayin’ Lively: My 2007 Annual Exam

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I’d rather get my teeth drilled than go to the gynecologist, but they’re pretty close together on my list of least favorite things to do. However, I did take my own advice and suck it up this month as I do every July, because it was […]

One Lively Sunday Night: “I’m With the Band”

“I’m with the band.” Who knew how much fun four little words could be? Last night, I got the chance to find out while hanging out with Army of Freshmen bassist Kai Dodson and the rest of the crew on the Get Happy 2007 tour: Bowling for Soup, Melee, and Quietdrive.
How did I get so […]

My Recent Brush With Food Poisoning

I’m in Austin, Texas, for a conference until tomorrow, and I spent the early morning hours today in the emergency room after throwing up (among other things) every five minutes for two hours.  The diagnosis?  Food poisoning, probably staph.  I’m feeling a little better now after a few hours of sleep and lots and lots […]

Hair Horror Story

Last week I made a very serious hair-ror in judgment.  On a whim, I decided to get my bangs trimmed at a discount hair salon that shall remain nameless.  (But here’s a hint: It rhymes with Chair Buttery.)  Once we got started, I consented to having a full trim instead of just my bangs.  The […]

Speaking of Getting Moving…

…that’s why things have been kind of quiet around here: My husband and I just moved into our dream house!  The move itself was a little traumatic and we’re still adjusting, but it’s so exciting! 
And boy oh boy, was it GREAT exercise.  Packing, carrying boxes, loading and unloading the moving truck, wrestling the cats into […]

Exercising for Comments: Update

Well, I’ve been terrible about reminding you that I’m exercising for comments, but I’m still doing it.  Since I started writing Lively Women on January 1 of this year, you’ve given me 359 comments!
In case you don’t remember, here’s the formula:
First 15 comments
1 comment = 2 minutes of walking or jogging up to 30 minutes […]

What to Do When a Dog Attacks Your Dog: Violence at the Dog Park

The other day I was musing about how I’d react if another dog attacked my precious baby Pickle-Pie. Today I found out.
The short story:
I went medieval on that dog’s behind.
The long story:
It was cold and I was feeling lazy, so I took Pickles to the dog park to run around instead of walking her like […]

The Importance of Treating Yourself

It’s been a blah-ish weekend so far. Hubby left for Puerto Rico with his mom and sister on Wednesday, and I’m here alone, packing in our entirely-too-full-and-we’re-moving-in-a-week-and-a-half house, shivering in the ridiculous cold while he’s on the beach in the Carribbean. How is that fair? So I decided to treat myself. […]
