The Shame Squad

For better or for worse, you're going to have to hear about what I eat for the next 25 days.  I know this inspires some of you (yay!) and if it doesn't, then maybe just look at the pictures.  I'm going on a trip that involves lots of walking, stairs, and pools, so my goals this month are: Do 100 squats every. single. day.   I'm using this video  but if you want to play along at home, you can also do 100 squats of your choosing.  Warning: if you do the video, these aren't regular squats.  There are jump squats, plie squats, squats w/ leg raises, roundabout squats, squats w/ reverse lifts, triple dip squats, sumo squats w/ high kicks, side squats, and double dip ski squats.  But the whole thing only takes 8 mins! Do yoga every day.  Because stress.  I like the YouTube channel Yoga with Kassandra . Walk 3x per week. Add in arms & abs on week 2.  This is week 1. Monday Breakfast - Coffee with vanilla soy milk.  I k...

Because you all have been such fabulous donors to my charity walk , I'm recapping The Met Gala, Shame Squad style.  For the uninitiated, the Met Gala (official name: The Costume Institute Gala) is the annual fundraiser for New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.   NYC + Celebrities + Costumes = total weirdness!  This year's theme was " Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. "  Hoo boy.  Here we go! Okay, I'm just going to say it: I hate Sex & The City, and Sarah Jessica Parker looks like she purchased a " Buy 9 Botoxes, Get 1 Free " package and then used them all in one afternoon.  The dress is "Beauty and the Beast on a Budget."  Grade: F Rhianna was this year's host, and is looking amazing in this outfit, which I will call "Papal Chic."  Also, it looks heavy.  I wonder if she practiced walking around in that sparkly pope hat at her house.  Grade: A Blake Lively looks like she stole this fro...

Here's the blog you've all been waiting for: Meghan & Harry's wedding day recapped! Ooh, there is some serious dress hate going on up in here.  And look, I get it.  If you only look at the pictures, it seems like a let down.  To be honest, I had 3 reactions to this dress: 1 - When she got out of the car I thought " meh, that's what I was expecting.  It's very Meghan-esque.  It's fine . " 2 - Then, when she was on the steps with that lovely veil following her, I thought " ooh girl, I get what you're doing . " 3 - Finally, she walked in the chapel--perfect choice of venue, by the way, as St. George's seems way more cozy than Westminster Abbey--and the music started to play and the light was hitting her just right.  It was like something out of Lord of the Rings, and I was like " dang, you nailed that.  I rescind my earlier criticism. " So my point is that if you only saw pics, watch the video , and...
