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.
Technically this is a blog about fitness, which is easy cuz it’s one of my favorite things in the world. However, I have rarely received more positive feedback than when I posted about C&C Day, which has won many fans in the audience. Apparently for her birthday, you can’t go wrong with a little C&C, [...]
Today stupid shit interfered with my workouts, never a happy thing. This meant I had to miss my kickboxing class. I have to tell you it made me sadder than I expected it would, and I expected to be sad. This is kinda funny, since some of you who have long memories might recall that [...]
I believe skepticism is a highly underrated quality. The downside is it can be hard to subscribe to any one theory or belief whole-heartedly, but I only feel this is a real bummer when I wanna find THE ANSWER to something and then realize it of course does not exist. The upside is that you [...]
One of the things you kind of discover quickly if you are a fitness-y health person with any critical thinking skills whatsoever is that we actually know very little about anything. Theories come and go; what was essential yesterday for optimal performance becomes everything you shouldn’t do today, and tomorrow we’ll probably go back to [...]
Okay, first I’ll give you a few li’l snack-size things to munch on. I believe tomorrow is Earth Day or something—I hardly pay attention to celebrating anything unless it’s C & C Day—so here’s a post on eating green. Green as in, sustainable and good for the planet, not as in those gnarly superfood smoothies [...]
I want y’all to know I’m totally on board with preventing cancer. I know that’s a controversial stance and all, like how I’m against Nazis, and I don’t support being evil (unless I’m the one doing it, then it’s just my job). But I really, really like it when researchers show that some activity I [...]
So just when you thought I was done talking about the push up article of waaay back weekends of yore, I have something else to add. I’ve been thinking about coaching and feedback and trying new things and the fear of looking foolish and making mistakes and being criticized, because I am that kind of [...]
This just in: Shari has taken pity on my sick-ass self and sent me a post that is timely for me and full of cupcake-like goodness. So read up and I’m going to be over here blowing my nose.

So sorry to be out, and I apologize to everyone I haven’t responded to in e-mail—I am annoyingly sick, I keep nodding out at my keyboard, and now my li’l one has the stomach flu and barfed everywhere. I’ll be back as soon as I can, I swear!
All of the sudden the sport seems that much hotter. Thanks to the Ice Chamber for finding the link.I am sooo damn tired cuz I have a cold that is kicking my ass and has been for three weeks now, so the blog is a little sparse right now. Thrilling intro, right? But I’m going [...]
