Posted on March 29, 2011 by skinnyjulie

Saturday morning I woke up and decided I was going to attempt running. Yes, I said it, running. Oh, and as if running wasn’t hard enough on a treadmill indoors (not that I do that or would know), I decided … Continue reading →

Why I cried at the gym: A short story

Posted on March 17, 2011 by skinnyjulie

Yesterday’s session with Darrell (my favorite personal trainer!) was HORRIFIC. I knew it would be bad from the start, when I was warming up on the treadmill and he casually mentioned that I was about to experience hell, but I don’t think it … Continue reading →

Superbowl = food hangover

Posted on February 7, 2011 by skinnyjulie

The Superbowl is one of the few times of year when eating inappropriate amounts of 7-layer dip, wings, potato skins, and mozzarella sticks is considered socially acceptable and possibly even patriotic. I didn’t want to come across as a social outcast or anti-American, so I … Continue reading →
