REGARDING BODY ACCEPTANCE - POSSIBLY OFFENSIVE
I’ve recently seen a few things on Tumblr about body acceptance.  Usually it is a picture of some girl in her early 20s, who is very overweight and holding up some sort of sign in front of her about how she “accepts” her body the way it is and society doesn’t but should, how weight doesn’t directly determine health, etc. etc… and I have been thinking about it,...

I GET TO BE A PERSONAL TRAINER
for my sister after her wedding! I would prefer to start now rather than mid March, but she says she is too stressed out with the wedding to start now.  Now, of course I don’t know everything there is to working out, but my sister is starting from square one with no knowledge of lifting, proper nutrition, HIIT, etc. so I can at least teach her what I do know.  I am SO EXCITED to introduce...

DID YOU KNOW
…that 3 Olives came out with a “Loop” vodka that tastes JUST LIKE FRUIT LOOPS?  I found out last night.  I found it out TOO MUCH last night.  Ugh, I feel like I totally sabotaged the healthiness that I kept up for the whole week.  I’m not going to beat myself up about it.  Back on the healthy-eating horse first thing this morning!

CURVY
Am I the only one that hates the way the word “curvy” is used in women’s clothing?  It’s like it is only used to describe a certain group of women.  I feel like way that clothing companies will only use the word to describe clothes that fit heavier people discounts the people who are not overweight but actually have curvy bodies, whether natural or sculpted.  It annoys me...

HOLY SODIUM
Every week I buy Sara Lee low sodium turkey breast from the deli counter at Walmart to keep for snacks and meals and it is incredibly delicious.  On Sunday, it was completely out for the first time and there were no other low sodium turkey options so I figured I could just buy the regular Sara Lee turkey for one week.  I never realized how salty some deli turkey can be until now. HOLY COW can I...

ANTI CHEESE CAMPAIGN →
REALLY?! This annoys me.  You can’t point to one food source and imply that you have to cut it out completely because it will give you a fat ass and stomach… Moderation is key, for crying out loud.

CLA - CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID
There is a girl that I know that just joined a gym about 2 weeks ago.  She has NEVER worked out before so everything her personal trainer tells her is completely new information to her that she sort of takes without question.  For example, according to her, he told her that if she wants to lose weight but still drink beer (which she drinks a ton of and refuses to give up), she should choose the...

SOME "REAL" FOOD
A new, pretty overweight girl started at my work today and she made a comment about how she was so hungry but forgot her lunch.  I offered her an extra banana that I have, as well as some whole wheat bread and some peanut butter.  She looked at it and was like “Umm, no, I want real food… I’m going to see if Jimmy John’s delivers here”.  She proceeded to call them, but...
