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.
G&R: Words for every occasion.
I realized two things lately. 1) When it comes to competition, I am kind of an asshole, and 2) when it comes to learning, I am a highly impatient person.
Did you think I’d be throwing down my challenges today? Nuh uh. I’m highly hormonal and therefore my challenge at the [...]
I read this thing by Jillian Michaels a while back about writing down your weight-loss goals. Well, actually I read it as “fitness goals” because I am sort of bored with focusing on weight loss, and that in itself is a funny thing which I will get to in a minute when I’m good and [...]
Free advice from me: Um, this is not the most flattering camera angle.
Let’s start with an admission, and no, this has nothing to do with my PMS, though, yeah, still waiting for ye olde flow and still mighty tense and hungry and emotional and dramatic, thanks for asking. But even hormonally induced self-loathing aside, I’m [...]
…as my mom commented, she doesn’t use 3-pound dumbbells. She does strength training with a trainer who is not me (well, every once in a while me, which is weird, cuz I see how badly she wants to cuss me out when I make her run), treadmill, Pilates, and yoga. She’ll be 60 this year, [...]

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 [...]
Okay, let’s get to the big old question in the title here first, shall we? The answer is…

Um, stuff you like? A balanced diet? (That sounds so PSA, “balanced diet”.) Well, there seems to be widespread consensus that lots of leafy greens are good, as long as we don’t have [...]
Did y’all catch the New York Times article on how long it takes to see significant physical changes through diet and exercise?
