This ones making the rounds, and for good reason:
How Good Are You To Yourself?: "That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion — how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out, often score surprisingly low on self-compassion tests, berating themselves for perceived failures . . . The research suggests that giving ourselves a break and accepting our imperfections may be the first step toward better health."
I got back in the pool today, after months (cringe) away. Bootcamp got me good and warmed up (er, exhausted) and then I hopped in for some laps. I could only do 10 because my ankle started hurting, but it felt good to be back in the water, even if it reminded me how much work I have ahead of me. 59 days till the
Marathon, 165 days till the
Triathlon....tick tock tick tock...
Loving this blog,
Cooking Everything Vegetarian, where one ambitious lady is determined to cook "every vegan or easily-made-vegan recipe in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" and document the attempt. Awesome! Added to my GoogleReader for sure (which is now clocking in at 1930 blogs. Ugh. I need to thin it out, starting with the fashion blogs because...let's be honest. High fashion has no relevance to my life. I like clothes, but I can't afford most of what I see online, and it just doesn't fit into my life so....bye bye fashion blogs.)

1930?! I thought I was bad hovering somewhere around 300. That's just...impressive!
Thanks for the link to the NYT piece. Interesting.
Amy from Just A Titch told me I should be reading your blog and she was right! I love the NYTimes article - I've added it to my weekly round up already.
Love the name of your blog. I'm with you all the way on the Yum.
PS - I am somewhere between impressed and frightened by your reader number. How do you keep up???
Amy, I know, it's....upsetting. Needless to say, a lot of them get deleted without me ever looking at them. I have an embarrassingly complex way of sorting through them all...
Tami, glad you stopped by! :)
