This picture is simply too awesome to caption. I spent my Saturday night getting my aggression on: gouging people in the eyes, yelling “I’ll rip your larynx out!” and watching my best girlfriends get cornered by a bunch of threatening men.

This year I resolve to not chase any lions. 3 days down, so far so good! How much do I love this time of year?

Oh that’s right, …

Maybe all I need is a deer to keep me on my list? Gym Buddy Daria: Where would you wear those? Me: To church. Daria: No, seriously. [Long pause.] Oh land, you are serious. What does it say about me that when I saw these pink and gold sparkly beauties from across a crowded store, …

Portia De Rossi was my thinspo crush. For those of you unacquainted with the ’90s, before she was Ellen Degeneres’ wife she was on a little show called Ally McBeal where she starred as a blond super skinny lawyer who liked to sleep around. No, not the main blond super skinny chick – that was …
It’s not your BMI. It’s not your cholesterol. It’s also not your resting heart rate, your back squat max, your weight, your body fat percentage, your BMR, your RMR, your AT or even your SDTG. (Okay, I made that last one up; some of the alphabet was feeling left out.) It’s definitely not your shoe …

Diana Vishneva, ballerina Plank. Push-ups. Wall sits. This week, one of the trainers at my Y has been doing fitness challenges every day. It’s nothing more sophisticated than a marker board, an “official” timer and a mat on the floor down by the front doors. Winners get no finisher’s medal, no t-shirt, not even an …
