Free NYC Workout Classes
So the city offers free workout classes, via a program called Shape Up NYC, at nearly all of the Rec centers (in all boroughs). I've been to a couple and they're all pretty intense (don't be fooled by the fact that they're free). Zumba is by far my favorite (the Friday class at Harlem hospital is AMAZING as well as the…

I fell off...
and now I'm back. My birthday is in a month and I wanna get back to ONEderland by then. I want it to go beyond my birthday and I wanna stay on track FOR GOOD. My biggest issue is food (sugar and carbs are NOT my friend, at least not in the amounts that I tend to consume them - and I am insulin resistant), I still exercise…

SQUATTING IN HIGH HEELS IS DANGEROUS!
I've been curious about squats in heels based on seeing posts here and seeing images on Instagram...did some research and also checked with a few trained/certified exercise folks about squatting in heels... they ALL RECCOMMEND AGAINST IT... Why? because when squatting you should mainly be driving through the heels and have…

one month... weights do wonders!!!
I still have a LONG way to go, but I wanted to post a one month comparison of my arms (which are for sure one of my toughest body parts to drop weight from)... i've always loved weight training, but never did it consistently, now that I am... here are results after only ONE MONTH! I'm shocked, really. I may actually…

Hypothyroid treated? Results?
So I'm currently I'm awaiting results, but I likely have Hypothyroid... I've been struggling to lose weight (recently stalled for 2 weeks) and the thyroid issue is likely why... (I've also had constipation and hair loss - typical side effects of hypothyroidism) I'm just curious to see if anyone else with hypothyroid issues…

I need any and all motivation, and would love to give motivation in return to anyone else who's trying to accomplish the same... Who's with me? Anyone??

Spaghetti Squash with Sausage - Vegan
So I decided to try spaghetti squash last night and the only "meat" I had was Tofurky sausage links (which are amazing btw)... it resulted in an AMAZING meal and I wanted to share. The tofurky kind of ups the sodium and fat content, so if I make it again I'll likely go for a lean meat, but overall not bad (especially for…

anyone interested? we could do something fitness related, or not... but would be cool to meet and socialize with you all

Tupac Resurrection Hologram
Did anyone see the Tupac Resurrection hologram that they had at Coachella?? It's unbelievable... costs $10 million (apparently Mariah Carey used it when she had to perform at 5 shows simultaneously in Europe a few years back).... I mean, why won't they let the man RIP already, my goodness. In case you haven't seen it:…

Super Lemony Diet Soda Cake
Anything sweet with super lemony taste, I'm in... so I decided to experiment last night to satisfy my sweet tooth, and the result was sooo good that I refuse to make it again unless it's for a party or event (I live alone, so an entire lemon cake in my posession is NO good). Ingredients: Cake: 1 box Betty Crocker Super…

Stretch Marks - Darker Skin Tones
For those with darker skin tones, what methods have you used to fade/blend stretch marks. I've heard of dry brushing and also using shea and/or cocoa butter, has anyone had success with that? If so, do you have any pics?

Rant: It's Week 4
It's week 4... I'm still huge... still in the same clothes... may have lots an inch or so, but that's it... its unbelievable 5 days/week in the gym (2-3 with weights, 5 cardio)... 7 days/week body aching... constant calorie monitoring... still nothing I know I can't quit because it won't get me anywhere, but this is…

weights before cardio?
it's best to do it in this order, right? I know I've heard that you should try to split the days or split the time (e.g. do cardio in the AM then weights in the PM) but when you have to do both in one session... it's best to do weights first, to preserve muscle? I have a lot of fat to lose and haven't been seeing results,…

GNC Lean Shakes (or other meal replacements)
Anyone doing this? Or any other meal replacement shakes (not just protein powders) I'm on week 2... so far it's ok, lost 2.5 lbs (kinda slower than i expected) but I'm getting bored already and I find myself craving a REAL lunch most days, instead of a shake. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone have postiive/negative…
