Isn’t everyone?

And proud of it ;)

I am so freaking weird, and I love it! :)

People at my new job are only figuring this out after 2 months of being there.

I’ve never quite understood this phenomenon… When I see people at the gym crank the treadmill incline all the way up, and then hang onto the handrails and lean back… why?

By doing that, you virtually take away the incline. Just because the calorie counter on the machine SAYS you’re burning X amount of calories, doesn’t mean it’s accurate… especially if you’re “cheating”.

If what you’re doing is so difficult that you have to hang onto the handrail, it would be a better idea to start with something more manageable that you can handle and build your way up. I realize that some machines, like the stairmaster, can be dangerous if you don’t steady yourself (I can attest to that one!) … but the treadmill is not one of those machines! Unless you have a medical reason for doing so, don’t hang onto the handrail. Get the full workout by using your arms and legs for momentum! =)

THIS!

This goes for the lady at my gym who halfway through her elliptical workout is leaning on the machine too.

does anyone know of a good workout for upper body? it doesn’t have to be specifically JUST for upper body, but as minimal impact on the hips as possible. like an abs and arms thing.

i’ve also been noticing that my quads are getting too big in the front. i think it’s from all those squats. there’s…

Bench 25 x 3
Triceps behind head 20 x3
Tricep kick backs 20 x 3
Shoulder press 20 x 3 
Tricep pull downs 20 x 3 
Bicep curls 25 x 3

As far as squats go, what’s your technique look like? Are you going low enough without knees over goes? Have you looked at quarter squats, a lot of the benefits without the bulk on the quads. What weight are you doing? A lower weight and high reps is a good way to cut. Also consider plié squats or squats on the bosu ball with the ball side down. Again, low weight high reps.

You can do lunges and repeater knees on a step for your butt too. Reverse lunges are killer good too. Remember to keep your chest up and low weight high reps again.

Apparently a lot of women are doing it wrong if they have time to think about this stuff.

I applied to be a Rock Girl at a local radio station, 99.9 KISW. I did it not thinking I would make the top 50, but I did. So now I need immense amounts of votes. I would really appreciate anyone who will vote for me.

Please Vote for Sierra!

I WILL NOT ADD PRO-ED, OR UNHEALTHY BLOGS.

Spread the word and I’ll get right on it!!!

I will add the first 400 Healthy weight loss blogs to reblog this TODAY.

Vegan breakfast taco! So good, made it this morning.

Multigrain tortilla (140 cal)
1/2 cup frozen hashbrowns (35 cal)
2 oz soy chorizo (90 cal)
1/4 cup black beans (55 cal)
Daiya cheese (45 cal)

In a medium skillet greased with pam, cook hashbrowns until warm and slightly crispy. Add soy chorizo and black beans, cook until warm and crispy. Turn down heat almost all the way, add daiya, cover. Warm up tortilla and when cheese has melted, combine. Add salsa and enjoy!!!

You could also do a tofu scramble with nutritional yeast and veggies.

I just saw a post on my dashboard “12 reasons not to eat dairy”.

Are you kidding me? That is completely absurd. I’m sorry.

But I will never give up my milk.

Agreed! Dairy is awesome and healthy when consumed in proper proportions. I never understood why people cut out major food groups (unless they have some kind of medical condition that their body can’t metabolize properly). It’s so easy to nit-pick incorrectly interpreted “research” results to present a controversial topic in a negative light and completely ignore the other side of the fence where the benefits could possibly outweigh the negatives.

Not to start an argument. Your food choices are your own. But don’t you find it odd that we are the only species who drinks the milk of another species on the entire planet? Also, you may want to check out Forks Over Knives just to get both sides of the story. If your going to argue health benefits research both sides. What is considered “healthy” is constantly changing.

On another note, I fucking love cheese. No way I’m giving that up.

I love reading other people’s opinions and why they believe the way they do. In fact, I do find it a bit odd that we are the only species that will drink another’s milk. But I also know that humans (as a species) are incomparable to other species :)

May I also point out that it is normal for people to be lactose intolerant and people who can digest lactose have a mutation that allows them to digest lactose.
