WEIGHT LOSS & EXERCISE

Suck it, Suck it Hard

{Read More...}

If you have read a fitness magazine, watched a workout DVD, trained with a personal trainer, or taken a group exercise class over the past few years you may have performed the, The Draw-In Maneuver. This technique is also referred to with phrases such as, “suck/draw your belly button in towards your spine”. Last night [...]

Being a Skinny Bitch

{Read More...}

So, I have known about the book Skinny Bitch, by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin, and its message of veganism as a way to lose weight for quite awhile now. Yet I have to admit, I hadn’t read the book until now, because I don’t believe in dieting. My own experience has proved time and [...]

Get Fit Without Exercise. Finally.

{Read More...}

I was thinking to myself the other day, you know what we don’t have enough of? Ineffective and fraudulent diet/fitness products directly marketed to desperate, unknowledgeable people. Don’t we need to do more to make sure they buy one ridiculous product after another in a futile search for the magic cure for their imperfect, loathed [...]

Why New York Sports Club is the *Worst* Gym On Earth

{Read More...}

I quickly armored up because it was time for fight or flight. The fight. I got up at the crack of dawn to reserve my spot in 6:30pm spin class, because you know, doing the right thing and signing up for class is civilized, it’s acting out of integrity, and being respectful to others. Instead [...]

Women and the Dreaded Bulk

{Read More...}

Results typical with use of steroids, not from lifting 10 pounds. It’s so rare that I see women so fit their rippling biceps are bursting through their shirts. In fact, let’s be real clear—I see more women with fat arms than fit, women with thin arms than toned, so I just cannot understand the fear [...]

Baby, You Have a Problem…

{Read More...}

“It” has gotten so out of control that “it” has become a problem. I stood in front of the full-length mirror and admitted it. “Baby, you have a problem“. I even said it out loud. That’s all fine and good, but in admitting that I have a problem now meant that I had to be [...]

I Overpronate

{Read More...}

And because of that, I am not a very effective as a shock absorber. I used to think I had a neutral step, but now, I know for sure. My feet, my feet are retarded. This actually makes me a bit sad because the last thing I wanted for myself was to be an overpronator. [...]

EndoBarrier, The Stomach Condom Has Arrived

{Read More...}

The verdict is in. I’m calling it. Two words that need to be separated in a rancorous divorce: fat and eat. As in, “I am so fat, I have to stop eating.” They get no visitation what.so.ever. It is THAT serious. Here’s why. Last night I had dinner with Domestigal Sue, and that always promises [...]
