abs

This is kind of a serious question.

Well, as serious as I possibly get.

So you guys know, Sex and the City continues to be one of my favorite shows.  My roommate freshman year had all the seasons on DVD, and we lived together for all four years in college, so we made our way through each and every episode a multitude of times.

My favorite SATC moments? Questions that have arisen from SATC?

  • When Aiden was going to propose to Carrie, and she found the ring.  AND IT WAS GOLD AND PEAR-SHAPED?!  And then come to find out that MIRANDA HAD HELPED HER FIND IT?!  Like what in the world?  What kinda friend…
  • Why did Carrie screw it up with Aiden?  Big is fine or whatever, but Aiden was a catch.  An absolutely catch.
  • Remember when Miranda threw out her neck running that marathon (with that weirdo guy), and Aiden came over and picked her up off the ground?
  • Charlotte’s random classes she always was in.  The tap class and the African dance class were my personal faves.
  • Ugh, totally screw that Berger guy.  He was not a man.  How do you break up with a girl on a Post-It note because she’s more successful than you?
  • The entire SATC movie was a favorite moment.  It was dazzling.
  • When Samatha fed Carrie during her “honeymoon” without Big.

But enough of that.  Onto the real question.

Carrie Bradshaw

Carrie claims her only cardio is shopping. Carrie smokes (gross). Carrie complains when she has to walk Pete, Aiden’s adorable dog, and she does so in these impossible shoes. If all this is true, and Carrie is not sneaking in time on the elliptical and lifting in between writing her column and breaking Natasha’s teeth (10 points for whomever can describe that episode to me!), than how are Carrie Bradshaw’s abs so impeccable?  Can anyone answer me that?

I think fitsperation is horrifying.

So, part of the reason I started this blog is that I saw some hideous “fitspo,” as they call it, on like Pinterest or something.  I don’t remember what exactly it was that the fitspo stated, but it was probably a picture of some white woman’s sweaty abs, with a tagline over it like “work out all the time, never eat, and lift weights constantly. only a wiener wouldn’t listen to abs like these.” (Also, note the lack of capitalization.  I’m pretty sure that was a thing too.)

So I wanted a blog that you could come to to feel inspired, without me giving you ridiculous advice (like don’t eat), or posting insane pictures on my blog.  And if you refuse to feel inspired or whatever, I’d hope that you could at least laugh and stuff.   And please don’t be offended if you love fitspo, but recognize that everybody, and every body is different.  That said, I will say that I have a person who give me body inspiration.  Not envy, but she makes me go, “Yeah, what a bod!”  And it’s not like, “ohhh I wish I had her body blah blah.”  It’s like.  She’s a real person.  Who very obviously works hard.  Works out hard.  And whose body serves as a testament to the fact that working out, maintaining a healthy diet (P!nk’s been interviewed as saying that she switches with an on-again, off-again vegan diet), and not following tradition, you can look AMAZING.  P!nk doesn’t look like the typical little skinny-mini, and most of us don’t.  However, she is baller.  So….I won’t ask you who’s your fitsperation, because I hate that stuff.  But who (we’re talking real people here) makes you say, “yeah!”?
