Such a Pretty Fat...

Okay, so Jen Lancaster is one of the funniest authors ever. She is the author of Bitter is the New Black and Bright Lights Big Ass both of which are witty memoirs about the snarky life of a sorority girl living in the ghetto!

I was turned onto Jen's writings when Hello Darling gushed on & on about her, and then literally handed me the book and said, "read it." I started out reading Bitter, and honestly hated it. i thought jen was just too much. i tried so hard & kept reading simply b.c Darling wanted me to. But then i read the line, "a mani-pedi is a sorority girl's version of a threesome".... and she had me!

I was hooked! I highly recommend adding her to your blogroll, like now!

Anyways... Jen's new book Such a Pretty Fat (coming out soon) where Jen is going to lose 50lbs by any means necessary. As a person who has been yo yo dieting for 14 years, i can not wait to read it!

Here is a video of her with her trainer.... Let me just say i can relate! Trainer comes out with some really random equipment, and usually i look at her, panting, and say "WHAT IS THAT?"
After she stops laughing, she demonstrates, i do 3 sets, and then i get it. Some equipment is way better than others* but the variety keeps things really interesting & keeps me from getting board so all in all it works!

anyways, the video below, and especially the ending, reminds me so much of my training sessions. the very end... has so happened to me. there have been multiple times that i have to restart b.c i'm laughing so hard.... and then there was the time that i accused Trainer of "breaking my abs"... but thats a whole other story!

i heart you Trainer :)

*the giant rubber band that is only like 1 ft long but i had to stretch it the length of my body.... the whole time i was waiting for it to snap and hit me in the head... even though Trainer kept saying it wouldn't, i was having visions. she was right! i guess i'm not as strong as i think ;)
