Kudos to Vogue Italia
| July 26, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Reviews |
I am a fan of Vogue Italia for their special issues. Their all-black issue was amazeballs (though it had its faults) and now they have a curvy-girl issue. I’m absolutely loving the high-end shoot of these girls with some meat on their bones. Check it out here: Vogue Italia. Continue Reading
Today’s Workout…
| July 26, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Today's Workout |
…was lazy-ish. I did 45 minutes of cardio but because of my short attention span this morning, I did 15 minutes each on the ellipitcal, stairmaster, and spinning bike. Then I did like half my back workout. It’s going to be a freakin’ struggle to go to the gym for the rest of the week and go to work and do anything productive, for that matter. I have what is known as Carnival Fever….it is a sickness detrimental to any… Continue Reading

I’m sitting here at work noshing on my (homemade) hummus with sweet pepper and celery sticks, contemplating what my workout for today will be. I didn’t go today at my usual 5:30am so I’m going to cope with the afternoon crowd. Not looking forward to it, but I’m sure I’ll see some new and interesting faces (read as: cute guys). While having my lunch, I was cruising the web and found some interesting things….like this recipe for banana naan. I… Continue Reading
Gym Pet Peeve
| July 21, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Rants |
Nope, not kids in the gym…actually, that would annoy the living daylights out of me, but I’m talking shouting and being all loud in the gym. I’m not talking about casual laughing and lively conversation while working out, but I’m talking about cackling, moaning, just plain old being super loud. Last week these two chicks were on the elliptical and I was unfortunate enough to be beside them. Well, lawd have mercy, I could barely hear my music and focus… Continue Reading
Today’s Workout…

…was my same arm workout from last week. But today was a little bit more yummy that usual….I’ve got my usual gym eye-candy who I see 2-3 times a week, but today was someone new. Well, not exactly new….I’ve seen him before but we’ve only recently began to say hello, then yesterday was the name exchange, and today…lol, I love it…he showed me the proper way to do a particular exercise. But in all seriousness, when he demonstrated, I realized… Continue Reading
I <3 Lentils
| July 14, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Eating, Homemade Goodness |
Especially stewed ones. Here is a recipe for a great lentil snack or lunch accompaniment. You’ll need: Lentils (duh)…1lb will give you about 4-5 servings Onion, garlic, celery, seasoning pepper Salt and pepper Thyme, basil, rosemary Tomato Ketchup or tomato paste (not super necessary though) To give your lentils some good flavour, rinse them off and soak them in water with chopped garlic for at least an hour. Chop up your seasonings and herbs (oh, I used what we in… Continue Reading
Today’s Workout….

…was non-existant. I know, I know…no good. I was just too tired. I got home super late last night and I just couldn’t wake up at my usual 4:40am to haul ass to the gym. Oh yes…I’ve been back at the gym for two weeks now! But yesterday’s workout was effing nutso: my arms. [pic source] And it is very rare (probably never) that I’ll say an arm workout challenged me. I was going through some old fitness magazines looking… Continue Reading
Green Juice for Breakfast
| July 7, 2011 | Posted by Dani under Homemade Goodness, Reviews |
Yeeeep, I drank that this morning. Rewind. I’ve been reading tweets and articles about the amazing benefits of drinking green juice (allegedly lots of energy, low cal, low fat, loads of vitamins and minerals, blah blah blah). So ‘Dani, the Bright’, took her behind to the supermarket purchased a ton of ish for this supposedly fantabulous juice. So I got home from the gym (yep! I’m back at it, post-op update coming tomorrow) after 7 this morning and took all… Continue Reading
