Dear Dumbells,
Dear Dumbbells, It is true that my heart is starting to get more and more involved. When we are together, within minutes, it is pounding out of my chest and my arms get weak and shaky. I know that when we first got together, I hated you and was determined to keep it that way. How did I end up in love?? I met you through my exboyfriend. He insisted that we would get along but I was convinced...

O YEAH???
Last night I did 300 more crunches/bridge ups, 60 leg abductions, & 5 sets of 10 @ 20 lbs on my shoulders! This morning I woke up @ 7:51 and I knew I’d have to leave for work at 9. I went downstairs to pee and grabbed my workout clothes on the way. While I was weighing myself, I realized I didn’t have time for a run and should just do more ST. Then I ACTUALLY POUTED and got...

Snail Shells, Body Armour and Window Shopping
I’ve been thinking alot lately about the little snail and how he carries his house around with him on his back. It’s his house though, it isn’t his body. His body is all protected inside. I wonder sometimes if I treat my body like it’s just my house, instead of my actual self. Am I peeking out through my eyeballs, or am I seeing with them? Am I closed up inside a...

asked 'How would one do all this (sexy breakfast)...
First of all, I’m not sure why you asked me this, because I have neither of those. I should be asking you. BUT, I have been getting alot of emails and comments and goodies asking me how on earth I have time to do ST, a run, breakfast, shower and then walk to work without waking up at 4 am. Having a ‘sexy breakfast’ is not an hour and a half ordeal, and I think that alot of my...

1 year...
I just found these from my birthday last year… they werent from my camera, so I’d never seen them. I feel like I just got kicked in the stomach, and am relieved at the same time… please pardon the rude hand gesture. I was feeling pleasant.

Actions speak louder than anything...
brag to me about how NOT LAZY you are going to be this weekend. I’m getting sick of seeing ‘I can’t’ everywhere. I can’t go for a walk cause I’m tired when I get home. I can’t make time for a good breakfast because I work from home. I can’t wake up early because I’m tired…. O_o I can’t stretch because I have kids. I can’t...

pictures from today's morning run
I finished my half mile warm up and got to the bottom of Mt Skinnichik just as the sun was about to pop over the top of it from behind the trees. *KAPOW* in my face! Then it was time to start up along the right side of the park, you can ask LAYLARENEE about this hill, as I pressganged her into walking it casually with me once. the top of the hill was extra pretty today I counted 16...

The Evolution of the Weekend Norm
In NYC, people live for the weekends. We party alot on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but weekends are hard core. So every Monday, everyone stands around and goes through the standard ‘what’d’ya do this weekend’ conversations, which are a big old competition. Because most of the shows I shoot are on weekdays, I usually just spend my weekends working out, cleaning, doing...

Devil 4 : Yoovie 15
So it turns out that when she left to go get that Cherry Coke at the vending machine, she had her water bottle in her hand, and just filled it up instead. Something about ‘no point in ruining the day when you are so close to ending it on a perfect note’ or some poppycock like that. She’s full of $%^&. And she didn’t smoke, either.

what the heck is this 'sexy breakfast' she is...
This was part of my last sexy breakfast. I’d already eaten the strawberries, blueberries and almonds, drank the coffee and the OJ. This is a freshly made onion bagel with homemade fresh vegetable cream cheese with carrots and bell peppers and chives and all kinds of crunchy goodies in it. But what I actually eat varies, but is always yum and healthy. I am a very firm believer in the...

3 years, 70 lbs, LESS THAN 1 POINT away from a...
Two days after my 21st birthday, I got into a car accident with an 18 wheeler. I was dating an Olympic hopeful and we coached girls’ track at the high school. I have no idea what I weighed because it never dawned on me to buy a scale. I was hot. I was 21. Then I couldn’t walk. I had severe damage to my hip, a broken ankle and a messed up shoulder as well as a smushed sciatic...

weight loss : self esteem ratio = not what I...
Last night I had a date planned. Well, a hang-out planned. I was really excited. It’s the first time I was excited like that in a long time. We’d spent the night on the phone the night before, sending pictures back and forth, laughing and just both of us giddy with all the possibilities of what we could do together. Giddy was the perfect word for it. Then his wallet got stolen, and...

not exercise related - biker night out
On a whim, we decided to drive out to Long Island to the Hell’s Angels bar called ‘Strokers and Jugs’ (i kid you not) to surprise the band. We dressed the part. I wish our awesome black cowboy boots were in the picture.
