Doing all the experimenting that I do and being challenged in the common sense department like I am, when Chris asked me if there was anything I’d done where I’d thought “I immediately regret this decision” my reply was, “how much time do you have?” My Life Is One Long Series of Embarrassing StoriesStarting way …
Honest Tuesdays, Take TwoAmidst my pondering (a.k.a. begging people more knowledgeable than I am to tell me what to do) on why it is so difficult for me to take a rest, the venerable MizFit asked me “First, why do you exercise?” It hadn’t even occurred to me to consider that I’d be doing it …
It’s been five days since I set foot in a gym. Five days since I broke out in anything but a nervous sweat. Five days without having my trusty heart rate monitor tucked under the girls like the worst push-up bra ever. Okay, so that last one is really kind of nice. Anyhow, in honor …

It gives you chronically low blood pressure which leads to fainting and hypoglycemia which can lead to seizures. It leads to osteoporosis, fertility problems, hair …
Due to a tragic laundering error involving a potty-training toddler’s underwear and the family’s general laundry comingling in the dark recesses of my washing machine, I went to the gym today smelling like… At first I couldn’t figure it out as the scent of fecal matter was faint and sporadic.

Readers Challenge MeNot saying that I am a challenged reader – I hope I am quite proficient – but that several of you have had interesting experiments for me to try! The first two come from the erudite Kirez:The Handstand from Heck (we did the “purgatory lite” version) Workout: Kirez’s special take on a CrossFit-type …
