About

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.

Making Bread

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Apparently it is feast or famine here at FF, but you’ll just have to forgive me for the post drought earlier. My head has been all over the place with life-y stuff and it makes it harder to keep the blog whipped into tip-top shape. But I never leave you for so long that you [...]

Vageavage and the Voting Begins

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

The comments on this post are completely awesome, both in the many interesting names suggested for the man-bits, and in the intro of a new term you will be seeing often here: vageavage. Let’s go to the latter first. Vageavage, as Tracy told us, is hoo hoo cleavage (aka camel toe, moose knuckle, etc.) Um, [...]

Well Wishing

Mama Mars and World’s Cutest ChildHere’s one that’s very important to me and many of the locals on FF: Ms. Badass Sweetheart herself, Mars (a.k.a. girl scientist) is right now having surgery for a pretty scary medical problem, but I believe if anyone can basically laugh in the face of the big scary, it’s Mars.

Covering the Important Bits

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Welcome to the private parts edition of FF! I’ll go waaaay out on a limb and talk about some sensitive areas, namely dicks, boobs, and the hoo hoo-booty suite. (BTW, I think we need a term equivalent to hoo hoo for man parts, don’t you? Please offer up your suggestions, because “dick” is kinda boring. [...]

Fitter Than Thou

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

First things first: Some of you who take my classes today might be a little bit peeved with me riiiight about now, when you are confronted with having to lift a water glass or hairbrush. (Oh, screw hydration and hygiene. Overrated.) I want you to know that the workout I concocted this morning hurt me [...]

Ivy’s Pull Ups

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

My daughter Ivy turned 7 yesterday. Now, some of you know she’s somewhat indirectly responsible for starting me in fitness—because I gained a bajillion pounds in pregnancy and only lost, like 2 during her actual birth (odd since I squeezed out an almost 9 pound baby). Part of my early motivation for being fit and [...]

Being Number Something

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Rounding Up

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

My stretch savior.Well, not much to report from my personal fitness yahoozie wadda wadda okie oh except that I discovered people can do 15 rounds of quick in-place runs (think flashdance yet again, at least until I finally lay Jennifer Beals) with random sprawls thrown in for 45 seconds per round in between rowing and [...]

Selling It

Friday, June 6th, 2008

By the way, I forgot to mention last time that when I think of myself as an athlete, I also tell people I’m in training for the Fuck-Me Olympics. I believe I have a shot at gold. I am living the dream.
So my sister was looking for a place to do basic spin classes [...]

Being an Af-lete

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

So I’m slowly making some steps towards my stated and blogged-upon goals. I’ve already upped my workouts, and I’m looking for ways to get in the combat sports. And as I mentioned, I’m trying to get back to my fighting weight. After a few days of depriving myself, feeling crappy, eating truckloads of healthy foods [...]
