Push-Up Challenge Begins Monday

From NerdGirls site: (are you ready to PUSH UP?)

Alright y’all! For everybody who is taking the 100 pushup challenge, don’t forget to visit the website for details, your weekly guides, etc. We’re starting on Monday, so you should “pre-test” on Fri or Sat to give yourself a chance to rest before the challenge begins. Good luck to all - see you at the finish in 6 weeks - stronger and fitter! By May 11, we should all be able to knock out 100.

All pushups count - full body, girl, knuckle, and even those done on the wall. Get in where you fit in!

Yoga & Big Breasts

Bikram Yoga is an addiction for me...and an amusement. It amuses me to see how far I can push, twist, stretch & bend my body. I love the challenge and keep going back for more...to see if I can make a breakthrough each day.

One thing that almost always gets me chuckling to myself in the middle of class is attempting to do the poses which require you to put your forehead on your knee. I don't care how flexible you are, if you have breast that require anything larger that a C-cup for support - IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT IT IS GONNA HAPPEN FOR YOU...without actually suffocating on your own breast tissue.Seriously.

I'm a 42D on a good day and no matter how much I try to...

• Strap these puppies down


• Tuck my face in between them - yeah in the cleavage


• Tuck my chin, suck in my stomach so hard that my intestines are shoved down into my cervix, and rolling one vertebrae at a time down


• Pull on my heels, the ball of my foot or any other part of my body till I'm crunched in half

I'm not going to be able to get my forehead on my cotton picken knee. I keep trying. I keep almost passing out from lack of air. Yes, Yoga Torture Instructor (aka - my Bikram crack supplier) I am cutting off the supply of blood to my brain. Practice will make perfect. *SMH*

I've looked around and my fellow big breasted yogi's are all having the same issues. Occasionally, I catch the eye of one of my BBY's and we share an amusing smile and keep on truckin.I'm off to another class today...I may not get my head on my knee, but I'm gonna try to stick toe today (at least on my left side). Nothing but my fear in the way of that pose. Fear I can get rid of...the 42D's...not so much.

It's NOT so Simple After All

One of my HUGE pet peeves are people who have been slim ALL of their lives, have never - ever, not one day, had to struggle with their weight GIVING ADVICE on how to lose/maintain weight...and they always add somewhere in that advice "how simple" it is.

- Just do this
- Eat ony this type of food
- Cook this way
- Just stop, Just control portions, Just don't eat after..

SIMPLE.

These are they same slim people who usually hardly ever exercise (at least not a exercise that produces any sweat)...Pilates, Yoga, Tai-Chi etc. and will tell you that just doing those things along with their diet recommendations will help you lose weight - SIMPLE. They have never ONCE had to lose any appreciable weight (may 5 lbs for the big event - which they did SIMPLY by doing an extra session of Pilates).

SHUT THE EFFIN UP! I hate that shyat. You've got no clue. You have no idea about struggle, about losing 20, 30, 50lbs and the freakin pilates ain't gonna do it. There is nothing SIMPLE about what the rest of the plump world has to do to keep fit, lose weight, eat right. (Those that are trying at least) But you would NEVER understand at all.

Let me give you a damn clue...me and my plump, weight liftin', kickboxing, personal training sweating sisters will haul off and whoop your skinny, can't run round the block, can't lift half your body weight AZZ if you say another dang thing to us about it being Simple. SHUT THE EF UP and let us get back to WORK.

And yes, I hate your skinny, condecending, righteous behind. Walk a mile in our shoes (if you can keep up) and see how simple it really is.
