• Bleh

    Its really difficult to be on this website and see all these pictures of the body sizes I really want to be.

  • Favorite Ice Cream Joints and What I Get When I Go

    All the talk about ice cream in this and that post recently got me thinking about my favorite warm weather treat. I don’t savor ice cream as much in the winter, so I only begin my indulgences in May or June. I remember one summer I was eating ice cream four times a week; let’s just say…

  • Do You Want Your Gym to Have a Bar?

    Are you a health fanatic, but still like to go out for the occasional drink? I enjoy sports, food, and a good glass of wine or a nice beer. I love working up a sweat in the kitchen, on the playing field, and at the gym. Even though exercising can be a rewarding private self-motivating experience,…
  • Why Some Women Wear Makeup to Exercise

    Working out and playing sports seems to bring out something natural and raw in women. An animal instinct to succeed and win, to be our best. So why is it then, that some women still wear makeup to the gym? Why do athletes, who will sweat it all off, still wear eyeliner and mascara when they go to p…
