I can't be The Skinny, but you might like me
As Laura put so well in the post below, The Skinny has moved on. But I write about a vital portion of staying healthy -- fitness and ways to keep your body moving. While I can't claim to be Gail or Laura, there might be some things you like about my blog, called Trials and Errors. And if there are items you want added and you don't have a home for them to land, send them to me and I'll do what I can. Nick POSTED IN: Fitness (120) > Discuss this entry Read Full Story
A heartfelt goodbye from The Skinny gals
Dear Skinny readers, Gail has departed from the newspaper, and with much regret, I too am stepping away from The Skinny. There's no amount of kicking up the volume to cover Gail's absence. We had an awesome year -- upwards of 80,000 page views from people wanting the skinny on diet and fitness delivered with a strong dose of humor. Those page views are big, big numbers and The Skinny was pretty much always in the Top 10 blogs for the Sun-Sentinel. We loved it (and you). Gail and I ate up ... Read Full Story

Stumped for dinner ideas? Check here
I've got stuff in the fridge, but when 6 o'clock rolls around I'm often stumped as to what do quickly do with all of it. So I often turn to my computer for ideas. Cooking Light has a great feature called Dinner Tonight, which is a searchable list of quick and healthy meal ideas. My goal today is to make the chicken breasts that I bought over the weekend, so I found a recipe for Lemon and Oregano-Rubbed Chicken Paillards, and all I need to pick up after work is a lemon and some parsley. Check... Read Full Story

Food find: Aquafina Alive Satisfy
If you like your water laced with inexplicable additives (protein, fiber, essential cat nutrients), then you'll be interested in a recent offering from Aquafina. I bring you Aquafina Alive Satisfy, with as much fiber as a serving of Metamucil (reeee-freshing!). Maltodextrin is what pumps up the fiber content of a 16.9-ounce bottle to 5 grams. It's not cloudy or gritty and the water has a nice peach-mango flavor. It also has 25 calories per bottle and is sweetened with sucralose and ace-K. B... Read Full Story
