After the 31 ways to take good wedding photos, I figured we needed another chuckle. I'm also enjoying the Jon Snow "I'm soooo thrilled I took the black" face.

Welp, I'm hosed. Chocolate is a perfectly appropriate breakfast food, and anyone who says otherwise ...

ah yes, the baked beans diet. i'm sure i've tried that at some point.

this article seems to be suggesting moderation. booo on that. i prefer my diets strenuous and untenable. i want to be hangry and faint. then i know i'm losing and i'm a success!

So funny, since a girl on FB just said she was going to do the master cleanse for TWO weeks. I was all, umm, "good luck with starving."

I'll just be glad when the New Year's Resolutions have all fallen by the wayside and my FB feed is no longer filled with photos of people's food, their diet plans, their work-out tips, etc.

Seriously! I do have some friends who post occasionally about workouts and bigger goals, like FSIL who is training for her first half-marathon, but these are all people I've run with and I don't cheering them on since they've done the same for me. But checking in on the map EVERY time you're at Crossfit? A bit much, IMO.

I have found myself getting irrationally angry when people post those 'inspirational" memes about how there's "no excuse" to not work out until you're half dead. Like, thanks for letting me know I'm a lazy fatso slob for listening to my doctor and not over-stressing the two slipped discs in my back by clean-and-jerking 38470798374 lbs and doing 847889892 burpees.

WTF is a burpee anyway? In my world, Burpee sells seeds and gardening supplies.

I always knew the exercise as "squat-thrusts" Not sure which came first. The burpee, or the squat thrust.

ETA: Wikipedia tells me that "Burpee" is indeed the first.

When I was in college my friend convinced me to try the cleanse. We were suppose to go for 7 days. I last one and then had a pizza. My friend did the whole 7 though... She has always been a bit crazy.

For a brief moment in time, I considered going into the Marine Corps JAG program (bad knee made it a no go). I went to a PT day in my area. Their idea of "Burpee" consisted of putting your hands behind your head, squatting, and jumping forward without losing your balance. It sounds/looks ridiculous, but man did my abs hurt. The Burpee we know and love they called the squat thrust.
