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 Diary of a Mad Somethin-Somethin

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

Kay, y’all, sometimes I take requests, if they come from a good source, i.e. not the drunk guy at the party yelling, “Play ‘Hotel California’!” And this one comes from an excellent source, namely Kim, who coined my favorite expression for the way her legs feel after one of our “sessions”: she said she had [...]

Body Types

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

When I was in junior high, my reputation as a non-sporty type was pretty solid. When it came time to divvy up teams for whatever sport we were supposed to be engaging in, two of the four or five most athletic kids would generally be selected as team captains. They’d take turns picking kids one [...]

Commenting on Comments With a Side of Crank

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

How often do you google “guinea pig outfit”?I guess I’m all into mining the media for stuff lately, and because I’m also hormonal, it’s been real fun to read the sheer stupidity out there. Now, the people who comment on my blog are funny and smart and extremely forgiving of my neuroses, but of course [...]

The Best Workout Video From Liz Feldman

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Soooo, my friend and Rock Band (cough, video game) mate Elizabeth introduced me to this hi-freakin-larious show called “This Just Out with Liz Feldman”a while back, and I have been dying to post it but I was having a hard time finding a fitness and health angle, as though that should matter at this point. [...]

Kim Kardashian Can’t Lose Booty Weight

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Dearest Kim,
Heya, just browsing through US magazine, my go-to source for fair and balanced coverage of your hiney. And I read this:
“I love that I’m curvy, but I’m on this major kick to try and lose weight, especially in my butt,” she tells Radar magazine. “I’m just so over it! When you’re posing on the [...]

My Mom Gets a Gold Medal

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Hey, we must have a round-up of some awesome Olympics stuff, no? Like this clip of Dara Torres (gush) who makes her stretches do double work for her if you scroll down to watch. Or hey, how about eating 12,000 calories a day like Michael Phelps? (Mmmm, french toast.) Maybe we could just sing the [...]

Naked-y Games

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

During my “work” time, I ho all over the internet looking for interesting things to write about, and then I bookmark them and promptly forget about them. Then every once in a while I dick around with my bookmarks and go, “oh hai, there’s that thing.” The thing of the day is this li’l piece [...]

Today Was a Good Day

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Always start the day with Ice Cube.
This morning my skinniest pants were a little tight.
Oh, and I ran 6 miles before 8 in the morning. This helped me immensely, because I woke up somewhat anxious, but I sure didn’t feel it when I was finished, not after sweating for laps and listening to the [...]

So You Think You Can?

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Um, I just wanted to pop in and say, “hi all, nope, I’m not cutting myself or anything today.” In fact, I woke up yesterday morning and felt…mucho better. My confidence returned in a way I haven’t felt for weeks; I have a sense of humor again and yesterday I ran through my shin splints [...]

Why I Hate Surprises

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I just want to offer a warning here: This post is not real funny. In fact, it’s kinda dark. I’m just telling you that because some days I don’t really feel like reading somebody’s depressing-ass shit, so if you are having one of those days, you should skip this and wait until tomorrow or the [...]
