My Butt
MY BUTT IS BIG and round like the letter C and ten thousand lunges has made it rounder but not smaller and that’s fine. It’s a space heater for my side of the bed. It’s my Ambassador to those who walk behind me. It’s a border collie that herds skinny women away from the best deals at clothing sales. My butt is big and…

Protein Powder for Women
I almost bought some protein powder today.... but I chickened out. Does anyone know of any good protein powder specifically made for women? I am still weighing the pros and cons of using it in general, but I do a lot of toning exercises and I've heard that a good protein powder can help.

Anyone heard of the Nike Fuel Band?
I recently stumbled across the New Nike Fuel band that goes on sale today at 5pm. I don't know much about it but it appears to be a band that goes on the wrist that keeps track of all the movement and activity you perform throughout the day. You can set goals of the amount of calories you want to burn and try to push past…

5k season
This morning I ran my first 5k of the fall season. It was Medtronic's Twin Cities 5k. With school and life in general I have not trained as much as I would have liked too. I still finished the race without walking and came in with a respectable time of 28:37. I have my 2nd 5k next weekend and I am hoping to shave a minute…

Damn you McDonalds
McDonalds has Monopoly on all of its fattiest foods again. My roommate and I just made a pit-stop, and I am already regretting it... Unless I win a million dollars. Sorry I'm not sorry. Extra workout tomorrow!

Did I do the right thing?
I don't mean to be bearing my soul out there for a bunch of strangers to read, but I am so much better at writing how I feel than speaking it. I could also use any advice or experience anyone has on this topic because I don't know what to do right now. I broke up with my boyfriend of over a year last night. It is a very…

For all the Runners
I recently found this site online and have been using it ever since. www.jog.fm It's a site where you type the mile pace you would like to go and then it gives you a whole playlist of songs that will help you keep that pace. I found it useful because I am a runner who is completely impacted by what is playing on my Ipod.…

Avid rollerbladers

Reading for Fun!
With school wrapping up I can finally put down the textbooks and start to read for enjoyment again. However, I have kind of been out of the loop with new great reads. I usually prefer books that are intense "page turners". I am open and up for reading anything. Does anyone have suggestions on some great books to read?

Pet motivation
This is my beautiful and highly energetic puppy Cabella. She is a 7 month old black lab and great pyranees mix. She has been my motivation to get back into running because the only way she gets tired out is after a long run around the lakes. I just couldn't help but brag about her a little bit. Does anyone else have a pet…

Tattoo's
I decided to make a new goal for myself. When I reach 120lbs I plan on getting a tattoo I have wanted for a few years now. My only problem is where to put it. I already have a tattoo on my foot and I graduate next year so I need it to be easily covered in order to appear professional. I've been contemplating my side but…

My small success story
Today after a good workout and healthy breakfast I was feeling pretty good about myself and decided to try on some of my old summer clothes. To my amazement my old favorite pair of size 4 American Eagle skinny jeans fit perfectly! I am feeling better and better about summer coming every day :)

March Madness 2011
With the best time of the year approaching extremely quickly, I was just wondering what teams people were planning on taking to the Final Four or the Championship. I have my brackets all filled out, but I found it pretty tough this year due to all the injured players that could be returning and trying to figure out what…
