This is why I don’t eat hot dogs 😉 In talking about orthorexia, I hear the same comments over and over again. The thing that seems to confuse people most about the unofficial eating disorder is how one can be so concerned with eating healthy and end up so unhealthy. So, in the interest of …
Once upon a time in a rainy kingdom far, far away on Ye West Coast, I was a Godiva girl. No, not the riding-a-horse-naked-through-town kind (can you imagine the chafing?) but the chocolate-pimping kind. My day job was as a professor but due to my directional dyslexia I ran a stop sign and totaled my …
I have bad news. We’ve lost Gym Buddy Allison. To “the robot.” And yes, it’s just like it sounds. Monday night in Hip Hop Hustle, we were all poppin’ and lockin’ and then Allison heard a pop and felt a lock… in her lower back. It was instantaneous, girlfriend went from crunk to cripple in …
Sorry – this pic isn’t funny (hey, stop laughing! Vampires love me!) but I had to show off my awesome “Great Fitness Experiment” T-shirt from Blackbird Tees. Honestly, the nicest custom tee I’ve ever worn! And you like those sweat marks? ‘Cause I totally just climbed a 5.10 rock wall!!! You might say I rocked …

The winner of the Lipton Tea Bike contest is…. Genevieve!! The rest of us will have to frolic naked on a beach to stay young. Sigh. Genevieve – e-mail me your contact info. ASAP! If I don’t hear from her in 3 days (first-time poster and all), I’ll pick another winner. The second place winner …
It’s a good thing he’s wearing a hat. Plus it goes with his socks. Fashion AND function. It’s A Man’s WorldAt least when it comes to exercise anyhow. According to a new study put out by the American College of Sports Medicine, men just have it easier when it comes to getting in shape. Any …
It is so seldom that people e-mail me random pictures of their body parts (and don’t get any pervy ideas here) that when Reader Colleen e-mailed me about her freak toe – the inspiration for my injuries post – I had to see it for myself. And now you are curious too, no? I present …
Scene: the sweat-soaked, MRSA-ridden, gritty, black stretching mats at the Y. My face is planted in a pool of someone else’s grime while I try and stretch my quads. I am trying not to inhale. Grossed out? It gets better. I look up to see my friend Bobby (Hi, Bobby!!) taking off his running shoe …
