Fat Chick in Lycra: February 2014

http://fatchickinlycra.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Fat Chick in Lycra. Saturday, February 22, 2014. Please don't call me a cancer "survivor". It embarrasses me every time. Some acquaintance of my husband shares a cancer diagnosis - their own or that of a loved one - and he tells them, "You know, Sue had cancer.". Most importantly, I was never in real fear for my life.

Fat Chick in Lycra. Thursday, February 13, 2014. Words I hate: "lazy" and "excuses". I was in the weight room at the YMCA one day where a woman was lifting the lightest weights possible.

Is there a sign on the door saying “Crossfit enthusiasts only? I think Carrie Patrick said it better than I can. But you n...

Screams Brad over the roar of the plane’s engine. I yell back with a tone of assuredness that sounds foreign. Instead, I turn my head back towards Brad and yell: This is amazing! And yet, here I am, free falling at 200km/hr from a...

BMI sucks. Use the Beast Index™ | booze | food | fitness

https://boozefoodfitness.wordpress.com/2015/12/28/bmi-sucks-use-the-beast-index

I drink a little, eat a lot, work out even more, and talk too much about all of it. BMI sucks. Use the Beast Index. Roughly speaking, the Body Mass Index (BMI) is a relative measure of body mass to height. Originally developed in the mid-19th century, BMI is an attempt to quantify an individual’s tissue mass and then categorize that person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese based on that value. BMI does not differentiate between the Michelin Man and The Terminator. The Beast Index is a m...
