So, it looks like this blogging thing is catching on.
Even my editors at Us Weekly think I have a knack. They’ve managed to rope me into doing it for the magazine’s Web site.
Here’s to me, Us Weekly’s first blogger. Read all about me pulling off the Us Weekly 30-day Get Fit Challenge here.
I know what you’re thinking. That I’m a true wordsmith – and that my talent for stringing words together is finally getting me recognition on a national stage.
I think it’s more likely that my editors think my hiney is fat. And that I’m the best candidate to write about losing weight because, well, I could stand to carry around a little less of me.
Either way, I’m now working out with a celebrity trainer, feeling the pain and already wondering what I’ve gotten myself into.
It was really hard to get moving, after avoiding the gym for a good six months. But the truth is – I feel a little better already, now that my blood is moving again. Believe me, I hate to admit it.
But don’t worry. I’m not going “LA” on you guys. If anything, having a celeb trainer is putting me even more in touch with my plebeian roots. The more I try to channel Jennifer Aniston on the treadmill, the more I see visions of Roscoe’s chicken and waffles.
Then again, that might be the LA in me too…
Gretchen, you are beautiful, but please share the secrets with us!

Especially share if the "secrets" don't include reducing sugar, booze, and eating chicken and lettuce, and working out like a demon 6 days a week.
