Here is my most recent blog. Check out the series at https://www.bobbin-olive.com/ All are about a minute each to read. A Minute on the Lips Summer arrives like a bang from a starting pistol. One day it’s turtlenecks and fleece, the next day the lightest cottons constrict and oppress. When my friends and I go to lunch we seek tables outside just because we can and it feels so Parisian. Leg shaving stops being optional and out comes the self-tanner. However, with less... coverage, the product of a long, indulgent winter is on full display. This new season calls for re-birth and the sleek, Venus on the half-shell, chic woman I truly am cries to come forth and be seen. I’m on fire: Calories get counted and every morsel recorded. This very day, for example, I fixed what, from the beginning of time, has been referred to on menus as the Dieter’s Plate a lean, bun-free hamburger patty, sliced tomato and a scoop of cottage cheese. Although it leaves me only 300 calories until bed time I know I can make it. Vegetables rule and if we get a cold snap, there’s Cabbage Soup with a chaser of Bean-o. Then, cue the music because the annual dance begins in mid-June with my birthday. The festive, gaily decorated cake is a death knell to discipline. One slice and I’m back to my old self, motivation and good intentions shelved until next year. If you’ve ever hoped to re-invent yourself but found temptation too great, writing about it in a journal can ease he misery. The good journal never judges, and unlike your conscience, loves to hear about hearty foods and luscious desserts. Falling off the wagon is forgiven and the journal will hold your hand getting back on.
