Green with envy

I admit that I can get a little competitive at times. I don't think I'm uber-competitive, but there's a little bit of fight in me which I think is the case for everyone. BUT, I think I may need an intervention. I was watching the news tonight and saw a piece on kid triathletes. Yep, you heard it here first (or perhaps second). There are children who are competing in events like "IronKids." I'm talking 6-year-olds. Here's where my crazy self gets, well, a bit more crazy. I checked out some of the results and these kids are good! They can swim just as fast as me and the fastest mile I ever ran was slaughtered by a tot! I have a lot of work to do. The upside—this past week Jeopardy hosted Kid Jeopardy and I killed it!

I found the new me!

I was killing time in Duane Reade when this magazine caught my eye. Yes, I like Anna Paquin (and of course True Blood), but that's not the reason why I picked it up. She's wearing my bathing suit and I have to say, if I dropped 15—okay 20—pounds and got a tan, we could be body doubles! Seriously though, I think I'm going to take a "before" photo of myself in this same pose and use her version as inspiration for my "after" transformation. I could be that skinny. I just need to stop eating. Starting right after lunch.
