Ultra Beginners Fitness Guide

January 16, 2012

Once upon a time, I was sitting on my sofa at 455 pounds watching a workout DVD I had put in. It was labeled "beginner" so I thought that I could do it. I didn't even make it past the warm-up before flopping down on the sofa out of breath with tears running down my ...

Workout Music for the New Year

01.02.2012

I am someone who MUST have music to really get me going. This could be for a workout, or just for a dance party in my pajamas (what? You don’t do that?). As shown before, I have an affinity for Mashups, and each year, Bootie releases the “Best of Bootie” mix for the year. I …

Plus Size Workout Clothes

06.23.2011

I have blogged MANY times about the lack of stylish, well-fitting plus size workout clothes. Yes, there is the stand-by of Junonia, whose style frankly is a little too “old-school” for my taste, in addition to being hella expensive. I must admit though, they’re the only place I’ll buy my workout swimsuits – SO worth …

It’s Like Riding a Bike

06.10.2011

This week has been draining, so I took a vacation day today to re-adjust my sleep and decompress. It’s my own fault- I put lots of extra projects on my plate and they all seem to hit at once. I’m trying to get better with prioritizing. Since I didn’t have to go to work today, I …

National Running Day

06.01.2011

Did you know that today is National Running Day? Neither did I, until the Twitter world let me know. I struggle with the term “runner.” I don’t feel like a runner. My “run” is about as slow as some peoples walks, yet it’s more vigorous for me to “run” than to walk. Dare I say I …

Skinny Emmie tries Bikram Yoga

05.29.2011

Last week, Bikram Yoga Lexington had a Groupon. They had a different Groupon about 3 months ago and I was kicking myself for not getting it. Needless to say, I snatched 2 of these up. I am now the owner of 20 Bikram yoga classes. Guess I should use them, right? For those who aren’t familiar …

Who am I?

05.15.2011

The past week has been a mixed bag. I’m super busy at work, have a million things I want to write, projects I want to do, outside commitments to fulfill, and FitBloggin’ preparations for this upcoming week. Don’t get me wrong – I LOVE being busy, however it doesn’t always mean great things for my …

Busted!

05.05.2011

One of my worst fears from early on in my weight loss journey happened to me today. After losing 112 pounds, I popped a stability ball! Picture this: I drag my groggy self into the gym around 5:45am. I go straight into my weight circuits, and things are fine. I’m in a groove, the machines I …

Walk (or Run) This Way

05.01.2011

This weekend, I’ve seen some wonderful Twitter and Facebook updates from friends who have competed in various 10K’s, half marathons and full marathons either yesterday or today. People excited for personal records (PRs), excited for finishing a new distance, etc. Since my half-marathon, I’ve tried to reshape the accomplishment in my mind. The way that I …
