Summertime 5K runs in Dallas are almost too horrible to fathom. That’s why we do all our 3.2-mile fundraising activities in the fall and spring. Like civilized human beings. October 7 may seem like a long time away, but it’s just around the corner and the 2012 AIDS Arms LifeWalk is a fantastic way to enjoy a Sunday afternoon. And […]
Let’s face it. If we drank fewer six-packs, we might not have to invest in so many Spanx. But we love to drink. And eat. And who has time or patience to do the necessary 20,000 crunches a day to see results? Therefore, we’ve spent a good portion of our lives looking for a quick fix. A magic pill. Really, […]
For the past couple of years now, we’ve heard people singing the praises of Thai Massage. They talk about how you’re fully clothed, placed on the floor and stretched like a piece of spaghetti around a meatball. That’s three strikes in our book. How could that possibly be relaxing? But when offered by Hiatus Spa, home to some of our […]
Life is all about balance. Sadly, we’re frequently out of it. We’re what you call accident prone, or as they shout from passing cars – dizzy gays. If we can fall off something (say, a wagon) or bump into something, we’ll do it spectacularly. It’s the main reason our dreams of becoming a tightrope walker were dashed at age 17. […]
That pedometer you got free with your McDonald’s salad a few years ago? Throw it away. (And stop pretending you can eat healthy at the Golden Arches.) There’s a new way to track your fitness and activity level that gives you more than just how many thousand steps you take in a day. Who can relate to that anyway? The […]
The last time our boyfriend caught us in a hotel room with a “personal trainer,” that was the end of our gym membership. Permanently. So we’ve had to come up with creative ways to keep in shape. We tried dead-lifting paint cans, which seemed to work wonders for Bette Midler in Ruthless People. But they just gave us calluses on […]
Remember the days when taking music with you on a jog meant three rolls of duct tape to keep the boom box strapped to your back? We looked like fools, but amazingly, we lost a ton of weight. Perhaps it was Olivia Newton-John’s Physical on cassette that motivated us, or the fact that the boombox weighed 20 pounds. Can’t be […]
We admit it. We love those vitamin drinks when we’re working out. We used to think they were healthy because of the word Vitamin on the label, but they’re about the same calories and sugar content as a can of cola. And we would never think of drinking a Coke before a workout. But we think we’ve found a solution […]
