This is my loving body repost of the day! I just have one thing to say: no matter what size you are, have fun dressing up and looking fabulous.
I may be plus-sized now, but I look damn good. Also, Pinup Girl Clothing has amazing clothes. I bought my one-piece there and I look like a sexy lady in it–fat or not fat.

:< I need to save up money so I can buy some of those dresses.

This is a subject I have touched on before in this post but it is one that still bothers me!

It seems that fashion magazines like to ignore the larger ladies among us, and when they do suddenly notice us (I mean, how can they miss us?!) they throw us some useless piece of advice that basically tells us “You’re fat, cover it up in this vast dress.”

Well I am one big girl who refuses to follow those ‘fashion rules’. I believe in dressing to your strengths – and only you know what your strengths are. Yes people can tell you your legs are wonderful, but if you prefer to flaunt your cleavage and cover the legs then that’s your choice and your strength. Being larger does not mean you can’t pull off all sorts of looks. And just to show you that, here are some of my latest…

Holy shit. I am out of shape. It makes me so frustrated. This time last year I was running an hour and a half a day, every day. Now I have trouble walking around campus. My twenty-minute walk from the bookstore to my car today was hell. Granted it was all uphill, high ninety degrees and I was wearing pants. I thought maybe my exercise earlier in the week was a fluke because I was tired and chose to do my work outs late in the evening, but no…no, no, no, I am out of shape.

This needs to change now.

I’m off to do sit ups.

And what the hell, the suggested tags for this post includes whale and ocean. No WordPress, I’m not a whale and I don’t belong in the ocean. I just have a lot of fat on my body. >_> And have trouble walking around campus without feeling tired. Yeah…

Yeah buddy!

I just felt like doing a quick tip for those of us who are attending university and need a place to work out. Many university have their own gyms. True story. And many universities include a gym membership with semester/quarter tuition. My uni also offers memberships to staff, guests, children, family and significant others for a fairly decent price. A significant other (student value) membership is around $30 per semester. Four months of an awesome, well-kept gym for around seven dollars a month. BAM! That’s pretty freaking awesome.

My campus also offers exercise classes and training. We also offer equipment rentals, clubs, personal training and child care. So…there really is no excuse to not exercise if your school offers a gym membership on mine. If you’re already on campus, you can kill thirty minutes weight lifting or on a treadmill.

And if you can’t do that, ride a bike around campus. Problem solved.

Ooof!

I’m finally finished with school. I spent the past few days going out and sleeping. BUT now back to blogging. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the easiest way to get your tea drinking on.

 

So these are the finished product of my tea bottles. Put them in the fridge or leave them on the counter, pour a glass, drink and enjoy.

These bottles came from organic lemonade from Smith’s Food and Drug (also known as QFC and Fred Meyer). They can be found at heath food stores as well. At my Smith’s, they’ve been on sale for 4 for $5. That’s crazy good because at some health stores, they were a bit more. Like two something for a bottle.

 

  <<<<  They come in a lot of different flavors. My favorite is a mango lemonade. Oh my, heaven on earth.

I drink the lemonade, remove the label and wash the bottles. Then I use them for nifty containers for my tea. I use two bags of tea per container.

As a safety warning, don’t touch the glass after you pour the hot water in. You’ll burn yourself. In my eagerness to transport the tea around the kitchen, I’ve grabbed the glass full on a few times. It’s not fun. Just pour it and let it cool with the tea bags inside. For added safety, warm the bottles before you pour the hot water in. If you’re worried about cracked glass, this should help out. I haven’t had any problems with pouring at room temperature, though.

I love my tea strong, so I’ll leave the bags in overnight or for a few hours. My herb, matte and black teas turn out pretty well this way.
