My darling, smart, gorgeous workout buddy-moved-somewhere-over-the-rainbow friend Becky asked for a more detailed overview of my weight circuit program. (At least I think this is what she was asking for – if not, all aboard the boredom train!) Circuit Training Circuit training first came about in the swingin’ 50’s so you know it’s got to …
Think you’re thin because you work out hard and eat (mostly) right? Or maybe you think you just have good genes? Maybe it’s because you’re rich. A study in Seattle showed that 22% of people making less that $15,000 a year are obese (defined as having a BMI over 29) compared with just 15% of …
There’s a famous quote (often attributed to Catherine Deneuve) saying that as women age, we all face a choice: our butt or our face. Basically, if you thin down enough to have the “figure” then your face looks gaunt therefore making you look older. If you choose to keep enough body fat to retain your …
Would you pay $1,660 to lose one pound of weight? The witty and profane gals over at Elastic Waist are reporting that that is the average amount American women spend per pound lost.

Not Eminem, sillies. Sugar. (But now I bet you’ve got “you’ve only got one chance, do not miss your chance to blow/ this opportunity comes once in a lifetime” running through your head. If not, you do now!). As you all know, I’m currently taking sugar back out of my diet to see if it …

Ever wonder how the starlets get so thin? Well, surgery, duh, but even then they have to keep their scalpel-honed figure. A good friend of mine who lives in the LA area told me that the joke there is the “3 C’s” or cocaine, cigarettes and caffeine. Sure they work out like fiends, she said, …
“Um, hey, can I ask you guys a question?” My lifting partners and I turned to face the questioner. It was a man, middle aged, wearing bike shorts and a sweatshirt. “Sure,” I chirped, figuring he was going to ask me to spot him on the bench press ’cause, you know, I’m just what you …

That’s not Godzilla’s breakfast, that’s what the average american will eat on Thanksgiving. Seeing as the average woman needs 1800-2200 calories a day and 20-50 grams of fat, this should do you for, oh, the rest of the year. Heck, you could support a small African country with that kind of wattage. Eating a huge …
No the former is not a way to get away from the latter. Although I’m not judging you – do whatever you gotta do;) One of my workout buddies at the gym is being stalked by an older gentleman (ahem) who seems obsessed by how fast she lifts her weights. Despite the fact that she …
