  Life in the left lane — Authority: 417
  I have been thinking about writing this post for a few days now, but just haven’t had the time to sit down and actually do it.  Lately, the idea of what is considered beautiful has been on my mind.  Being a female, I feel all of the societal pressures to always be thin and pretty, and frankly it sucks.  Anytime ...

  Chatelaine — Authority: 143
  A few months ago, my personal trainer asked me if my boyfriend and I ever worked out together. We don’t, and when I told her that, she said, Well, wouldn’t it be great to wake up and spend a Sunday morning together at the gym?  I guess that’s a nice idea in theory, but in reality, my ideal Sunday morning ...

• Celebrity trainer scandal!

  
  Chatelaine — Authority: 143
  The words “celebrity trainer” and “scandal” go together so rarely that I’d be remiss not to talk about the recent Tracy Anderson dramarama.

  Chatelaine — Authority: 143
  Keeping tabs on the latest health research is a huge part of my job, so I spend a lot of time reading medical studies. And every once in awhile, I come across a finding that seems so commonsensical, I can’t believe a study was commissioned on it in the first place.  This week’s contender: “Pregnant women who ...
