Especially since she knows the paps would be there photographing it. I almost don't believe it. I feel like she is doing it to make news.
Carrie Underwood For Shape Magazine

American Idol winner Carrie Underwood reveals her doable slim down strategy for slimming down and getting healthy in the February issue of SHAPE.I can't wait to find out how Carrie lost 20lbs!!!
She hired a personal trainer to help her figure out the best equipment for reaching her goals- and the proper way to use it. They started with an elliptical machine for cardio, a balance ball for ab work, and free weights to tone her arms and shoulders.
"We got really simple, basic stuff, because if it was complicated, I knew I wouldn't have used it," says Carrie.
"My favorite thing is cardio," says Carrie. "It really helps the pounds melt off, and it gives me so much more energy. Now when I'm performing and running around the stage, it's no big deal. Whereas before I was always gasping for breath. Working out has really paid off onstage."
She also opened up about what it felt like to read bloggers call her chubby. Who would do that?! UGH!!
"I was heavier," admits Carrie. "Still there's nothing worse than going online and reading that someone called you chubby. I'm a performer, and yes, being in good shape is part of the package," says Carrie. "But I don't ever want to get neurotic about my weight. I feel healthy and I know I'm a good size for me. And that's what's important."
Carrie Underwood In Women's Health Magazine

No, that's not Carrie Underwood on the cover of Women's Health Magazine, but she did sit down for an interview with them. She dished about checking what the gossip rags have to say about her, how she stays in shape and on the love triangle with Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo.On being linked to Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo:
"He was not my boyfriend and we were never dating. The more I screamed 'We're not dating!' the more headlines claimed that we were a couple or that I was crying because he was out with another girl. We're really good friends, we hang out a lot, and we're close... well, friends smooch occasionally."
On what the gossip mags and message boards have to say:
"Occasionally I'll be on the Internet and see something about me and give in to the urge to click on it. It's hard not to. Usually I wish I didn't."
On her public image:
"Everyone has all these expectations about what people should look like. Some people think I'm fat, some people don't. Who are they to judge? But it does bother me - “ if I see a picture, and I look chubby, it affects how I feel about myself."
On her stress-reliever and staying fit:
"Honestly, it's my dog... He's my kid that I get to take care of and put my energy into. I do exercise. I'll use whatever's in the hotel fitness room: the elliptical machine, maybe lift some weights. Then I'll take Ace for a walk. And it's important for me to know when enough is enough. I do get tired, and that can affect my whole sense of well-being."
She sounds like she still has a good head on her shoulders. Let's hope Carrie stays as sweet as she's always been since day one of American Idol!
Carrie Underwood Singing In New York City

The flawlessly gorgeous Carrie Underwood joined Ryan Seacrest, Dick Clark, Miley Cyrus, and a multitude of others on "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" show that aired on ABC the other day. I have to say I absolutely love Carrie's coat and I know she had to be freezing out there. Did anyone catch the special? How did she do?

Carrie Underwood Tracks Her Food Intake

Over the last year or so Carrie Underwood has lost a significant amount of weight. She credits this change to keeping a detailed log of her food intake on a daily basis. I guess if you actually write down how many pretzels you are munching on, you are more likely to eat less!! :) Anyone do this and find success? During an interview with Glamour Magazine, Carrie said that the log along with cardio and no meat helps her remain healthy.
"I'm slightly obsessive-compulsive about what I eat, more than I should be. I write down everything I eat," the American Idol, 24, champ dishes in Glamour magazine's January issue. "I started doing it last year. And in the last year is when I've gotten more healthy and lost weight."What does she eat? Well, no meat. She's been a vegetarian since age 13. (Listen up, Chace Crawford: "I don't think I could kiss someone after they ate a hamburger 'cause they would probably taste like it, and that would gross me out," she tells Glamour.)Underwood also says she she enjoys cardio and "that big exercise ball."
Here she is with a VIP access pass at the Spice Girls concert.
Victoria Beckham And Carrie Underwood Had It Rough

Why is it whenever a celebrity talks about their past, it usually involves serious psychological damage? Both Victoria Beckham and Carrie Underwood have come out with statements this week about their horrid pasts. Where did these girls go to school?!
They were literally picking things up out of the puddles and throwing them at me. I just stood there, on my own. No one was with me. I didn't have any friends. People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling, miserable. I tried to be friends with people, but I didn't fit in. So I kept myself to myself."
-- Victoria Beckham on her childhood schooling
"It's scary, I don't really get the warmest of receptions when I go back. I know somebody could come up and try to... hit me, hurt me, just to say they did it."
