Raincheck on the gym

There are days when you can muster through your lethargy and do the right thing.  Go to the gym.  Feel more energized.  Be glad you went.  Then there are days you can’t.  Today was one of those days.  I think it’s our 30th straight day of rain or something crazy like that.  I went for [...]

Diet Jealousy, WTF?

I was reading HuffPo, as I do from time to time, when I came across a title that struck my fancy: It’s Cool To Be Healthy Again.  The title pretty much sums up what the articles says, so you can read it or not read it, but you’ll basically come to the same conclusion. 
I wonder, [...]

Exercise: To Schedule or Not to Schedule?

While on my blog I may promote being flexible and taking baby-steps, in reality I’m a total all-or-nothing personality.  In the past this has really only worked against me.  If I didn’t get to the gym when I was scheduled, well then, I may as well never go to the gym again.  Ialready ate a [...]

Now it’s time for a cool down

Yesterday was 90 degrees, today is 60 degrees. The world is messing with me emotionally.
Thank you all for your kind words about cellulite.  I wanted to share with you all my very normal, yet still over the top, irrational thinking in the dressing room yesterday. Sometimes I think that I sound too Pollyanna  about body image and weight [...]

Cellu-what?

I have cellulite. 
I stopped into Lululemon to by some itty-bitty super-wicking shorts to wear to to Bikram, as it’s becoming ever more apparent that my running pants, even though they too are super wicking, are way too much material to be wearing in a 105 degree room especially in the summer months when the room [...]

Wiggity-wiggity Whack

I’m up, I’m yoga’d, I’m showered and fed. Oh, and I’m really hot.  The past few years, at least in New York, there has been absolutely no Spring.  We go from 40 degrees to 90 degrees.  Literally.  Last Monday it was 40 and yesterday it was 90.  It’s pure craziness.  My apartment is a wee [...]

The Kim Commandments: Top ten rules I live by

We all have a different code of rules that are ingrained in us whether we know it or not.  Little truths or rules that we live by each and everyday.  Mostly, I think those come more from our life experiences than anything we’re taught in golden books or Disney movies.  I’ve been thinking a lot [...]

Deleting The Word Diet From My Life

Last Sunday, Superbowl Sunday, my mom handed me a truffle and said, “since you’re being bad today you can have this.”  And I thought, am I being bad today?  There’s that diet vocabulary again.  Yes, I was planning on stuffing myself with buffalo wings and Doritos, but it was a special occasion and I didn’t [...]

How do you define ‘Happy Weight’?

Are you at a happy weight?  I am, or at least I think I am.  According to Self Magazine’s Happy Weight Calculator I’m not happy.  According to them I should weigh 126.  Sure, I’d be happy at 126, I’d be pretty darn svelte.  But, I’m also pretty happy at 135 which is pretty much where [...]
