On this note, a co-worker says making frozen coffee cubes and putting them in Irish Cream makes a delicious drink. I think he's probably right too and I want to find out the fun way. The best damn bagel is whole wheat, lightly toasted, and the cream cheese should have a touch of honey and bits of walnuts and/or pecans mixed in.
Agreed about his mother - if he did posture about it, I didn't see it. The funny thing about Kim is that I'm pretty sure this is a real thing for them. There had been rumors floating for years that they were secret fuck buddies, so when they did get together it was more of a "it's about time you came out with it." The baby could be a publicity stunt, I have no idea. But their actual relationship I am pretty sure is genuine. And they seem to go together really well in their bizarre and self-absorbed way. I hope they are happy together. I also hope Kanye produces something better than the latest mess. If the song was good, I'd forgive the video (kind of like with Wrecking Ball), but the song is just bleah.
Hey America, think youze guys have a racist penal system? Well, new numbers show aboriginals take up 4% of our population and now almost a quarter of our prison population. There you have it. Assholes-in-arms.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but she wrote a response to all the hate she's recieved: <a class="postlink" href="http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/03/fit-women-are-real-women-too/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/03/fit-wo ... women-too/</a>
Two cents: I disagree that she insulted a bunch of women. Actually insulting someone is different than someone feeling insulted. I could stand to lose a few pounds and get in better shape. When I see that dudes here posted in the TiBBer thread, I'm not insulted. I think to myself, "dang, I need to work out." That probably would've gone well in the "thin privilege" thread.
I agree with you there. That she didn't necessarily insult women, that's how they took it, not that you need to work out. There was some sarcasm in my statement.
That is diastasis recti. The muscle belly seperates away from the linea alba (six pack lines). It's more common with women who are pregnant but not exclusive to them. Several of my relatively fit classmates have it. It can resolve with approximating the tissue while doing exercises in a very limited range of motion.
Cream cheese is one of my "three." I challenged my kids a couple years ago to name a food that couldn't be improved by adding one of three things: bacon, cream cheese, or hot sauce. They're still working on it. Sometimes when we put one of those on something, I'll slyly hold up three fingers and nod to remind them. They roll their eyes, but they know I'm right. One day at my grandparents' house we were having a discussion about food and how everyone likes cream cheese. My grandma piped up and said "Well, even a dog turd would probably be good with cream cheese on it." She was a hoot. RIP Granny.
Holy shit, its going to be -8 here tonight. I like winter, but dam thats pretty cold. Fat Privilege is feeling warmer in the winter.
All of that is way better on a marble rye bagel. So color me worng. And stupid. And use one of those fat crayons they give you in preschool so that your uncoordinated little hands can at least make a half-assed attempt to color in the fucking lines of those stupid fucking coloring books with puppies and Bible scenes, and that bitch Jennifer colored in most of the pictures anyhow and ripped out half the pages and ate the ones with the yellow crayon, because yellow crayons taste the best, so you're stuck coloring on the walls, and you get in trouble, like that time you ate all of the paste during art class. Fuck.
It's actually warmer out today than it's been in over a month. Right now it's 7C/45F. Snow is melting like crazy and I'm hung up at home with a stomach virus. Sucks for me, It's the best possible day to put up the outdoor lights.
What she is saying is that you need to have an excuse to not look like her when you have infants and small children. Maybe you don't think that that is a direct insult, but I think it's a very serious affront. You know what's more important than having abs? Being a good mom. And while some lucky people can manage both of those things, many can't. So why add one more thing to the list of unattainables that women feel they need to strive for? What's your excuse? BLAMES women for not having abs when they have 3 toddlers. No one should have to have an EXCUSE for THEIR OWN body. I also suspect that Maria Kang has lots of things working in her favor, like a spouse, an adequate support network, enough time and resources to devote to her own health, and most likely genetics. I'm not saying that I think Maria Kang should be shamed for being fit, or even for demonstrating what a postpartum body can look like. I also think that having a message more akin to "Hey, you can have 3 little kids and still be worth taking time for yourself to be healthy and sexy!" would have been much more positive message than "What's your excuse?" which, you have to admit, has a whole host of negative implications.
So I've heard of guys putting on "daddy weight" and it makes sense that it would happen, just never seen it first hand. My friends sister just had twins and her husband put on a few lbs, she demanded he get back in the gym and lose some of that weight. When I saw her, she was calling him fat to his face. If I knew the guy it would've been really funny, knowing his sister though it was in good humor. She tends to be a bit like me in my sense of humor, brutally honest and sarcastic.
So what? Why is she the spokeswoman for all women out there? I think it's a woman that I don't know so I don't really care if she does think I'm fat or don't have an excuse or whatever the hell upsets people nowadays. She means nothing to them, some stranger on the internet posting stuff. And if she's someone they know personally then they can choose to not be friends with her. I just don't get getting worked up over someone that I don't know posting stuff. She means nothing to me. Um, but you guys don't think I'm fat, right? Hello?
