So much of the fitness and health writing out there is so dry you practically have to hydrate after you read it. I think it’s time we injected some humor into the genre.
The second-creepiest picture ever.So I am DONE with my required 30 days of workin out, and here’s the number one thing I got from it: It didn’t feel that different from my usual routine, perhaps because I both got sick near the end and had to take a li’l time off, and because some of [...]
Wow, this workout burns almost as many calories as eating a doughnut, with half the sweat.How’s the challenge going? Oh, fine thanks. I did take time off when I was sick last week, which I believe I outlined in challenge clause 1B. “barring illness…” I’m not a total freak-o, you know. Cough cough. I also [...]
No, Sarah, I can only program the elliptical when I am wearing the glove of power. What, does my glove make you nervous? I understand completely.There is only one thing in life that is certain. No, not taxes, cuz there’s probably places in the world where you don’t pay those; and not death, because I [...]

Yesterday morning my kid and I were sitting around waiting for her dad to come and pick her up for her days at his house. We had about an hour, and I was itching to work out. I turned to her and said, “Do you wanna go out to the gym and train me?” (Our [...]
You know, it’s easy to think of all this food stuff as just something we struggle with in our own head-fuck, it doesn’t affect anyone else. But for those of us who are parents, we get the big angst of watching all this stuff in the world and in our homes played out through our [...]
Whoa, um, been a while since I wrote anything, I guess the whole holiday thing just got in the way of the important things in life, like blogging. Speaking of, I do have a list of stuff I swore I’d never do, like intravenous PCP and clog dancing and liveblogging. But like so many lines [...]
