The Scary Bodybuilder Place

December 20, 2011

Tell me if you've heard this joke before: "So, a fat girl goes into a nutrition store..." I used to have anxiety in the weight-room portion of the gym. Free weights, barbells, kettlebells and hard-bodied, iron-pumping men... I didn't fit in. Thankfully, I got over that a long time ago, and more and more women are becoming ...

Fitbit Review (and Giveaway- CLOSED)

EDITED TO ANNOUNCE WINNER: Congratulations to Emily, with comment 195, for winning the Fitbit! I wish I could give one to everyone who entered, but alas, I’m not Bill Gates :) If you know me in person (or have read this blog for a while), you’ll know I’m a technophile.

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 …

Enell Sports Bra Review

02.10.2011

I received an email from one of my lovely readers asking if I had any advice on a plus size sports bras for those “well endowed” of us in the chest area. I have mentioned the Enell Bra in a couple of posts, but I realized I never really gave a honest-to-goodness review of one …

Recipe Review: Chipotle Style

02.06.2011

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’m a lazy cook. Sure, I can follow a recipe, but it doesn’t REALLY excite me to buy special items, do all the prep, cook, eat, and clean up – especially if I have no idea if it will turn out. Since the recipes I’ve tried so far from …

Pedal Exerciser at Work

12.10.2010

Lately I’ve been thinking about ways to try to increase my activity during the day. Typically, I will work out before work, then when I get to work, I’m in front of my computer for 8+ hours. I go home, and then don’t do much physical activity until the next morning when I work out …

Review: Just Dance 2 for Wii

10.28.2010

I was really excited when I was offered to review the new Wii video game, Just Dance 2. You guys should know by now that I’m not a sell out and would never give a dishonest review just because I was provided something without charge. My reputation is worth more than a $40 game! But in …

ruby

Last weekend I read Ruby’s Diary: Reflections on All I’ve Lost and Gained. Y’all know how much I love Ruby.  We’re talking girl crush levels. I want to be her best friend because sometimes it seems she’s the only one in this world who has been as large as I’ve been and whose had to …
