Right now my baby is crying it out*. I’ve been trying for 45 minutes (the length of time she’s been crying) to think of some way to make this funny but the truth is I just want to crawl out of my skin and shove nails in my ears. But since I am unable to …

Today Charlotte’s roulette of unfortunate personal experiences is brought to you by the number one most feared word of fit folk everywhere. Nope, it’s not “thong”. Nor is it “Richard Simmons”. (Because that’s two words and, also, I happen to love him and his dance-tight clad legs.) It’s also not “Whirlpool closed for cleaning” although …

What isn’t funny about Prince, really? The winner of the $200 Visa gift card courtesy of Arm & Hammer is… KUrunner who wrote:Only one laundry woo? Gosh, I don’t even know where to begin. Let’s see. I’m a long distance runner living in South Carolina where even running before the sun comes up entails running …
I don’t want to start your day off on a bad note but the health and fitness research this week has been, well, a downer.

Gym Buddy Krista’s face says it all, I think. There was pain (like two nails driven into my butt cheeks, not to mention serious ham and quad soreness) but there was also much laughter.

“Mom, why can’t we have a dog?” My son begged. I gave my standard answer. “Because between you, your two brothers and sister, I already have enough butts to clean up after.” “But mom,” he beamed as if he’d solved cold fusion, “dogs totally lick their own butts!” It will speak to his faultless reasoning …
Gym Buddy Allison took this pic – in addition to being She-Ra in the gym, she’s also a phenomenal photog. He was just a small boy on a swing. A boy like any other boy on a swing like any other swing on a day like any other day. Nothing remarkable. Nothing special. Just a …
This particular butt exercise is not recommended by me. FitJerk, maybe. The incomparable FitJerk (of ab burnout fame) has designed a butt-blasting workout just for GFE readers! The Gym Buddies and I will be doing it in the gym on Monday – for any of you local folk who want to join us – and …
You could always go the Mariah Carey route (hint: it involves an airbrush, several colors of spray tan, and a drastic underestimation of the observational abilities of the general public.) Sit-ups: they’re the one exercise everyone has tried. Mostly because you can’t help it. Even as a baby it was one of the first things …
Thanks to high-profile celebs like Alicia Silverstone (vegan), Posh Victoria Spice Beckham etc. etc. etc. (vegetarian), and Amanda Seyfried (raw foodist but hates it since she’s only doing it to stay Hollywood skinny), going vegetarian or vegan is all the rage these days. Despite my general skepticism of anything touted by a celebrity, since I …
