A "MIRACLE" WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAM

2 weeks exactly before D-day

I gained 33 pounds during my pregnancy with Jonah. Thirty-three. I lost exactly 12 the day he was born. Not that it was anything I cared about DURING the 24 hours of labor/no sleep. But I can remember coming home from the hospital, looking down at what appeared to be a five month pregnant, but blob like belly and thinking, "in addition to the 7lb 5 oz human that emerged from my womb, I muuuust have lost more weight..." So, like a sicko, I hopped on the scale and cursed the amniotic gods for only shedding 5 lbs of fluid.... THEN exhaustion and WTF just happened to my life-ness set in and I didn't think about how much I had or needed to lose again. Well... at least not for another couple months.... Eventually, it all evened out and I was back to my pre-baby weight and bod (minus the newly deflated-breastfeeding ruins everything chest area).

A couple months ago, my buddies at How to Be a Dad asked me to participate in a video they were producing for Kin Community. With pleasure, I said of course and showed up to shoot a little video about losing said baby weight (kind of). Though my days of theeeeater and acting are long behind me, I must admit it was fun doing a video with Charlie, Andy, and my girls Jenny Feldon of Karma (Continued) and Morgan of the818. It's no embarrassing meet and greet with Ashton Kutcher, but it still ought to make you laugh. What do y'all think?

HER SAY!

Exciting news! I'm going to be co-hosting a new daily web series with Soleil Moonfrye called HerSay which launches and premieres tomorrow. The show will be a daily show covering all the hot topics from around the web. We'll talk about parenting, relationships, celebrity, fashion and food. (PS. Just signed on to be Managing Editor of the site too!) Talking with Soleil is like talking with your very best friend or someone you've known forever.... In fact, I feel like I have known her forever... As a child in Los Angeles, I did a little bit of acting and one of the commercials I did in the 1980's was a Punky Brewster doll commercial. (Did you have the Punky Brewster doll?) It came out over the holidays... I want to say like 1985?

Anyway, I kiiiiind of looked like her (or at least wanted to look like her). The commercial is HYSTERICAL. I found it on YouTube. Watching it, I'm 99.9% sure that my voice was not that annoying. I think.

(It's so "vintage" I couldn't even embed it. Click HERE to watch).

Horrible quality. Not to worry, HerSay will look muuuuuuch better. ;-) Here's a little "behind the scenes" Soleil shot of us last week at rehearsals.
