Lately, I've been in need of a hard gut-wrenching laugh. I just didn't expect to possibly give myself a hernia.

Women: Love like the French
I've been reading a wonderful book by Mirielle Guiliano called 'French Women Don't Get Fat'. Did I tell you that I've been reading this book.Well there's a good reason why I've been reading it and riding my bike.
We Americans have un-/consciously accepted super size to all that we do. In other words 'go out in a bang', 'give it your all', and 'don't accept less'.
These are great affirmations to support almost everything you do except for our eating habits? We have lied to ourselves and so has the government, and the fast food industry. Feeding us as 'grazers' even before the biggie size fast foods were ever around. We've been fed 1-1/2 to two portion meals for atleast the past two to three decades and this foods not fresh either. Nor are the new gimmicky salads, yogurt and fruit.
So as my woman size wardrobe needs alterations (I refuse to give up/away any of my Jones New York suits), please turn directly to page 253 where Madam Guiliano begins to tell us in the end, as she did in the beginning to love ourselves, our meal, daily walks, fresh food markets to purchase in season vegetables and fruits, and many more.
In addition, we need to stop starving ourselves, eating to gluttony, Worrying, weighing ourselves, asking our companions/spouse 'do I look fat in this?', snacking, eating fat-free (remember Susan Powers? fat and fat-free), stop watching tv (unless it's PBS), and most of all stop Dieting!
Do all in Moderation, eat slowly, enjoy and walk. Most of all...love yourself and if you need psychiatric help. Go get it!
I'm going to ride my bike on the Three Rivers trail.

The 'Closet' Peanut....?
I thought I was a kindred spirit of Sally. You know the type of woman that scares you because she's strong in her decisions, outspoken and very loving. I adored that Sally was in love with Linus.
So what happens when I complete a little quiz to find that Marcy is my alter-ego. We both have dark shoulder-length hair, wear glasses, and wear neutral colors to show inner and outer beauty. However, I refuse to wear bangs!
I guess I'm at a stage in my life where I'm comfortable in my skin. It has done great by me inspite of the horrible acne I still suffer through.

Beauty, Food and Art Students!
My plan for the day was to shop at Sak's Fifth Ave, eat, check my e-mail and maybe catch up on my unpublished blog postings.
Well for the past four hours I've accomplished more than I intended. After reading the City Paper I came across a coupon for a little eatery called Hotdogma. Then in the far recesses of my mind I remember seeing that name, but where was I. Then it came back to me...I was looking for an open hotspot to check my email. I made a mental note to come back later on my next visit to Downtown Pittsburgh. Well it's two months later. I checked their website, nice, clean and green. It was an invitation to go back to a time of many walks to Gray Papaya's in the West Village to have two hotdogs and fresh juice, and an additional six hotdogs for my family in Jersey.
I must skip across the street from Sak's to have one. Will they match my memories at Papaya's, or will this become a new experience. What a shock! Located in one of Pittsburgh's oldest churches is a bright place to eat. The art of hotdog's is everywhere from articles of it's opening, to a WQED Hot Dog Special poster signed by producer/commentator, Rick Sebak. However, the most memorable items were the table tops of original art, and all the places to recline. From tall cafe tables, a couch or your squares. The variety of hotdogs amazed me. I went for a tried and true. I had a veggie hotdog and The New Yorker. Great eating, but yes a difference exists. Why it's a Boar's Head not Sabrett's. Yet it was great because of the brown mustard.
All kinds of people come to eat here from the local charter school students, which appeared to me to be a college student due to her maturity in conversation. Local busineswomen and men, and attorneys rushing to their next meeting with briefcases in tow. The greatest visit, other than the free wifi, the hotdogs, and the 80-90's pop music was meeting a fellow NJ residents who has partnered with two friends to bring some clean 'Hot Dog' culture to downtown. Kudos to the gang at Hotdogma for proving the local elders incorrect.
Young college graduates are sticking around to create new businesses, but the entire community must help them along to return this city back to prosperity. My part of the plan do as the French do. Eat then walk.
I'm in the mood for 'The Italy' hotdog.
For Jersey nothing's better than an Italian hotdog down at the shore.

What happens when you play too much
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to check your email accounts.
I've been up since 3.30 am. I've written two possible candidates to share with someone to get them riding and excercising. My plan was to experience a new trail on Pittsburgh's southside, but nooo! I thought quickly skim your email and head out the door.
Driving into the city upon exiting the Squirrel Hill tunnel. It's raining, hard! I sure feel sorry for the 14,000 people who volunteered for todays Homeland Security excercise. That surplus of flu vaccine might not go to waste. As I told Mr. Kraynick of the infamous bike shop, it's going to rain this weekend.
So I'm indoors, at school, checking email and I have mail from the bicyclefilmfestival.com and Bike-to-Work.com. These cats have been busy in the past week. I've been waiting to see this years line-up of bike movies and the cost of tickets are so inexpensive. Make sure you catch atleast one of these shows. In the meantime, enjoy the games, www.bike-to-work.com/publish/content/biketowork/en/biketoworkhome.html
Enjoy the ride.
