Paleo Banana Bread
After starting the paleo diet, I started craving the exact foods I wasn’t allowed to eat. This is my first...
Girl power! This is nuts!
While the verdict is still out as to whether or not children should be weight lifting (there are possible growth hindering side effects for some kids and the safety of the sport has been called into question), this seems to be an indication that it may be rising in popuarity! Children who do engage in weight lifting as sport should always be supervised & coached by a professional trainer, one who’s aware of the possible risks in training still growing bodies.
Controversy aside, this is still pretty bad ass. I get giddy seeing young girls break stereotypes & pursue sports that aren’t traditionally female dominated. Love this!
Congrats to Naomi! Won’t be the last we hear from her, I’m sure of it! Thanks Tasie for sending me the link!

Naomi Kutin, 10, claimed the astonishing achievement after squatting 215 pounds - despite weighing just under 93 pounds herself.
She lifted the staggering amount - which weighs the same as Mike Tyson in his prime - in front of a packed crowd in Texas, USA.
‘She broke it on her second lift of three and didn’t waste her opportunity.
‘She went out there, took her chance and won the right to be a world record holder.’
Naomi - who was just nine-years-old when she broke her first world record - has been dubbed ‘supergirl’ by astonished powerlifters.
She has legions of fans around the world who track her progress through the internet.
And thousands of fans were present to witness the moment she broke her second record at the RAW Unity event - an invitational for elite powerlifters - held in Texas in January 2012.
Naomi, who only began powerlifting in April 2010, reclaimed the record taken from her by experienced pro Ana Geitner, 44, from Germany, in the 97 pounds weight category.
It’s official! Record broken: enter Michelle into the record books!
Congrats to the fittest first lady EVER!
WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama now holds part of a world record.
The first lady announced in an email Monday that her October bid to break the record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period succeeded. Mrs. Obama says 300,265 people participated, shattering the old record.
In order to achieve her goal, Mrs. Obama led about 400 elementary and middle-school students from Washington in jumping jacks on the South Lawn of the White House. Other jumping jacks events were held around the world on Oct. 11.
The effort was organized by National Geographic Kids magazine in support of the first lady’s Let’s Move! initiative to promote physical fitness and healthy eating for children.
MOTIVATION!
YAY BETTY!!!
WOW!
71-year-old Betty Lou from Plover, WI, set the world-record for abdominal planking. She held the position for nearly 37 minutes! Watch to see this amazing Success Story winner in action AND hear her incredible story!
I cried. I did. This is a MUST WATCH.
This is CRAZY!
Patrick Makau of Kenya shaved 21 seconds off the previous record, by running the 26.2 mile Berlin Marathon in 2 hours, 3 minutes & 38 seconds!
One hundred years ago, the record was just under 2 hours 40 minutes. In a century, we’ve shaved off about 37 minutes. That might not seem like much, but it’s HUGE in a race where gaining an even a few extra seconds is hard earned.
To put it in perspective that’s an average of 4 minutes, 43 seconds… per mile.
Whew!
Not sure how I feel about this, lol.
Proud cause a lady beat the boys AND set a new world record? Or grossed out cause she ate 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes, lol.
Well… um… congrats? (and she’s so tiny!)
Sonya “Black Widow” Thomas, who won the 2011 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest women’s division, didn’t need any gender segregation to set a world record at the 10th annual Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival this weekend!
She even bested the 2011 men’s hot dog eating champion, Joey Chestnut, by 9 wings after downing 183 chicken wings in 12 minutes!

Women sacrifice a lot for their appearance. From toe-pinching heels, to extreme dieting, to painful waxing, to body piercings, to plastic surgery (Heidi Montag), women of all shapes, sizes & cultures go to great lengths to achieve what they consider to be an ideal look.
