GO TO ELLE
Okay so here is Elle McBITCH in People Magazine. The article is titled "She Used To Look So Hot Way Back Then But Now She is 47 So We Had To Pull Out These OLD PHOTOS Of When She Was 20!"
I'm kidding, she really is 47 which is older than me so thank you for taking away that excuse ELLE!
I'm going to go for a long RUN now like for days and I am going to cry while running and then I'm going to down a bottle of wine or 2. I hate you but you do look really friendly and HOT so maybe I'll trying to be more friendly. I really am HAPPY for HER - good job of looking so good - WOW that's amazing. Cheers to you ELLE and Happy New Year. What's your resolution? Not to look so HOT?
I'm going to paste this picture to my bathroom mirror to remind me...to smile even when I'm running
(the 100 mile run that I just signed up for)

WORKOUT WEAR
I know that this is that time of year when everyone decides that they need to start (or increase) working out. New Years resolutions... blah blah blah. So they rush over to Lululemon and stock up on all of their uncomfortable workout gear so that they look good in the "gym". I went into lululemon once and had a great workout (in the fitting room - not in their freaky yoga class held in the middle of the store)
Let me say a few things about this experience. I'm a size 2 or a 4 - I don't get hung up on sizes - I'll wear a large in anything if I love it. So, I grab a 4 pant, a 4 tank thing with a built in bra (which I don't need) and a jacket. By the time I walked out of there, I bought a SIZE 8 pant (which I never wear because they are too tight and give me a camel toe!) I didn't get the tank (because I got stuck in it and may have even ripped it) or matching "jacket" (because jackets are supposed to go over something and this thing aint going over anything including my double a's)
So, a couple of take aways here:
1. Why does any store size their workout clothes in 0,2,4,6, etc what the fuck is that all about? Its spandex can't you just be like a small, medium or large?
2. Aren't workout clothes supposed to be comfortable? I love the women who say they love this shit because its so comfortable. LIARS - they love it because everyone else loves it and they bought into the hype and now they have to say how comfy it is. In my pilates class, we've got half the class in the tangerine short sleeve and the other in the blue tank thing (BARF) and I'm proudly in the front with my whatever pants and a Harley tank.
Here's what I like
1. Find some great workout clothes and who cares if they are Russell sweats (GASP now)
2. Any tank or tee can be used for a workout (I know can you believe this) I wear an old graphic tees
3. I love to take sweaters that I don't love anymore and "repurpose" (that trendy word that Nate Berkus uses way to much) and waer it over your work out clothes - then you can run errands after and not look like a loser in your workout clothes ALL DAY LONG.
Oddly, I have the worst and oldest workout gear in the world (and I do workout daily) but people always comment on my outfit. HELLOOOO its not that they are "cute workout clothes", its just that they are different.
P.S.
As a sidebar, I can't stand people who have to have all the right "gear" for every physical activity. They have their gym shoes custom-made to their "special" feet. NO ONE I know is that big of an athlete that the "gear" makes any difference and it makes them look ridiculous. Just whip on something that you already own and go for a run outside. Enjoy a FREE workout.

BEER DRINKING FOR THE NEW YEAR
Soooo, in my last post I told you that I was going to start drinking beer in the new year. See, I drink alot and I have decided that all those calories aren't great for the bod so I had the brilliant idea of switching from my caloric red wine to light beer.
Upon further research
1. Drink 8 Becks Lights (64 calories - wow!)
2. Have no buzz at all and feel bloated
3. Google alcohol content in light beer and find out that its 2.8% alcohol
2.8 % - SHIT thats LESS alcohol than you get when you go to Utah and have to put up with all of their freaky Mormon alcohol rules (you can have multiple wives because you will need them on our own planet someday but alcohol is bad) REALLY, the person making up those rules was clearly smoked!
SO, the finding is sure its less calories but not when you have to drink a 12 pack to get to that happy place. And why would you drink that yeast invested liquid unless it had some fun result?
Gotta run and grab a glass of cab... Cheers!
