  • Living With Backbreaking Breasts


     

    This afternoon on the way home from the supermarket, I saw a girl, probably in her early 20’s with massive breasts.  I’m not talking about big breasts guys just stare at, I’m talking back breaking breasts.  She wasn’t a skinny girl either but her breasts were seriously causing her discomfort.

    When I saw her, I was surprised she was even able to walk properly and I felt sad for her, having to live with that.  Perfectly healthy people who have back issues due to normal everyday activities but I can’t picture having to carry that extra load. 

    I don’t want to criticize her for what she’s been given, cuz for all I know, she’s perfectly fine with them but they do seem to be a problem.

    Have you ever seen women with such large breasts?  If you were in her shoes, what would you do about it?


  • Sex Without A Condom

    We had a post earlier today about a method of birth control: "Pulling Out: Just as Good as Condoms?".  After reading the comments, I went in search of examples people had of pulling out not working and came across this hilarious condom commercial. Enjoy:




    I don't know what's funnier, the fact that that woman has like 3 kids, the girl asking the man what his name is, or Homer Simpson's voice yelling "Woo Hoo". 

    That guy in the video seemed to be afraid of fathering all those kdis, what's your biggest fear when not using a condom or protection?


  • As A Woman, Which Do You Prefer to Have; Muscular or Skinny Legs?

          VS.       

    I've got a lot of interesting comments on my previous article entitled “Does Spinning Make Your Legs Bulky?” 

    Click below to see the article:

    Of all those, I found two distinctive opinions which I thought would be fun to share. While I was worried about having bulky thighs, few of the commentators brought up an interesting point--what’s wrong with having muscular legs?

    Hmmm… Well, what do you think? Being a woman, would you rather have muscular or thin legs?



  • Help Me To Love Swimming



    What activity does every personal trainer tell you to do if you are injured/cross training/looking for a change up? Swimming. What activity does every pregnancy expert tell you is the best exercise for gestating moms? Swimming. What activity does my dear friend Dr. Jon - who is 70+ but looks like he's 40 and acts like he's 20 - swear by? Swimming (and some kind of crazy form of karate that I'm dying to try and yet also terrified of). And what have at least a dozen of you asked me at one point or another to do a Great Fitness Experiment on? Swimming.

    I hate swimming.

    Let's get one thing straight: being raised by parents who consider swimming a life skill and not optional, swim lessons were mandatory all the way up to high school. I can swim. I can freestyle, back stroke, breast stroke and - the one I hate the least - side stroke just fine. I just don't like to. More Here...

  • Pulling Out: Just As Good As Condoms?!




    Those of us who have attended any small portion of sex ed class know that coitus interruptus, aka pulling out or withdrawal, just isn't a good method of birth control.  I mean, come on, pre-ejaculate contains tons of sperm.  And what if you don't pull out in time?  We've been brought up to think that pulling out is only barely better than just ejaculating inside the girl.

    But is it really?

    A new report by Dr. Rachel Jones claims that, as a method of birth control, pulling out is only slightly less effective than the male condom.  Based on data gathered by the Guttmacher Institute, only 4% of couples would become pregnant using the withdrawal method if used perfectly; they estimate that 18% would get pregnant if they take human error into account.  The failure rate for condoms are about 2% if used perfectly, and more like 17% when used typically.  That's not a whole lot of difference!

  • Can Jergens Make Me Look Like This?

          

    I'm one of those people who's easily manipulated by TV and magazine ads. Even if they are unrealistic, like using this shampoo will make your hair grow faster in just a few weeks, or drinking that will help you lose at least 10 pounds in a week without exercising... (I don't really believe those ads), I always become curious, and end up purchasing them even if they're not on my “must buy list”.

    A few weeks ago, I was reading a health magazine and this Jergens Skin Firming Moisturizer ad caught my eye. So, I thought why not try and see if it really works? On the same day, I went to CVS near my apt. and bought the product. (I don't really remember the exact price, but I think it was around 5 bucks or so, which I think was pretty reasonable).

  • Diet Help On Fourth Of July



    How do I keep to my diet on 4th of July while actually enjoying myself? The foods that will be served at out party (and no, my parents aren't making a special meal for me) include hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad, cake, chips, fruit, beans, basically your typical array of food.

    So what can I do to not over-indulge on 4th of July? Any tips? What are you doing to prevent overeating during the holiday weekend?


  • Road work

     
    (Why it's important for athletes)

    It's during the day, the sun is in full force, the radiant heat rebounds off the floor and catches you on the underside of your chin, and your body is hurting. This is me running a route in the middle of the day because I am too lazy to run in the morning and I'm too busy to run at night. The sun cooks my skin, and my sweat makes me feel slippery like I'm covered in cool soapy water.

    People ask me why I run, and I tell them its because I'm an athlete. Then they scoff and say that not all athletes need to run.

    How wrong they are. More Here...

  • An Alternative to Cardio?



    I love my cardio workouts, which consist mainly of a progressive walking program. I was doing really well on this until I injured my knee.

     I'm off my walking program now for a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions for non-cardio calorie burns (I don't want to sacrifice my 2lb/wk weight loss)?

    I'm lifting weights for 20 min 6x wk and doing tai chi 30 min 6x week in lieu of my usual work outs. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Putting On Relationship Weight

    I have been on this "Get Fit"regimen for almost 5 months now and as I've blogged previously, I don't see it as much as others do, but apparently, I have lost some weight. The clothes do fit better, sometimes it just hangs on me and I've dropped back down from a size 2 to a size 0.

    I've never been a stick thin girl and weight gain is pretty prominent on my frame as I've always been quite sporty and thus, not the average stick thin looking Asian girl around, but I am happy with the way my legs look. However, I have noticed this scary thing:
