Lightening the Load

April 25, 2012

Today I found myself back in the orthopaedists office, where I was last getting my purple cast cut off. There was a slight tingle in my ankle, but it wasn't constant and was definitely much, much better than it has been in one year. Five minutes later, I was walking out with the all clear to ease ...

Testing: One, Two, Three…

April 22, 2012

It feels like ages since I've been able to do much on my feet with my ankle injury. If ages equals several months, then it actually HAS been ages. Super frustrating and I lost my groove quite a few months back. This past week at physical therapy, my ankle pain has significantly lessened. Instead of working ...

Ultra Beginners Fitness Guide

01.16.2012

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 …
