Sweat Pink Ambassador

Sweat Pink Ambassador

We believe that kicking ass is best done in pretty shoes. We’ve learned that real women sweat, and sweat hard. We know that assertiveness, strength, and ambition are the ultimate feminine qualities. We concede that sometimes it takes hours to get ready, but we’re also no strangers to just rolling out of bed and going. … Continue reading

The Double Chin

The Double Chin

I can remember when the first thing I would do in my pictures is notice my double chin. And I can remember thinking that was the one thing I’d like to change. (I was fine with the big hips. I was fine with the tummy. But dammit – that chin was just over the top. … Continue reading

Body Acceptance

Body Acceptance

I was thumbing through the Internets looking for inspiration and found myself getting quite annoyed. (Tumblr can be a dark lonely bad place.) I stumbled across “reasons to lose weight” and realized mine were nothing like a lot of peoples. I kept seeing things like, “to sit on a guys lap”, “to not dread showing … Continue reading

Portion Control

Portion Control

As I’m sure you know by now, the thing I struggle with most is moderation – which plays HEAVILY into portion control. Quite often, my food storage/packing/portions look like this:             You know, a little muffin toppy. Cram it all in. Push and pack it down. Takes more time than … Continue reading

Moderation…or lack thereof.

Moderation…or lack thereof.

Moderation. I’m not a fan. I should be, but I’m not. One ounce of cheese? Why not 12? One triathlon? Why not 5? ALL. OR. NOTHING.

I sat down next to my dad totally bummed and mad myself. “All that hard work down the drain because you can’t keep your … Continue reading

I’m trying so desperately to get back into the groove of running. So far – running 1 me 0. I ran once this week. Which is more than last week. I’m hoping that with the temps cooling down I’ll be more inclined to actually go for a run. I’m going to be screwed in November … Continue reading

TITTIES – A sports bra love affair

Now that I have your attention I’d like to share my thoughts on sports bras. SockPuppet asked so I’m answering!  Sports bras are so important for my fellow big busted ladies. I once wore three sports bras when going for a run to avoid the inevitable bounce. I avoided all high impact exercise (I’m talking … Continue reading

Y’all better stop…

Y’all better stop…

I came out. I linked my real life with my weight loss life. Honestly – I was PETRIFIED I wouldn’t be well received. My stomach was in knots when I confirmed everything for my facebook page, my tumblr, my twitter. (Wowzors – I’m a nerd.) Alicia and Kevin talked me off the ledge several times … Continue reading
