Fear — False Evidence Appearing Real
When I was driving home from the gym this morning, I left the music off. It was so quite and calm. All I could hear was my own breathing & the faint sound of traffic around me.
Using this unusual time of quite I started thinking, mainly about my work out and how much I love it. But then… the thoughts turned to “why did it take me so long to start?”
That, was an easy...

10 Ways to Get Psyched for Weight Loss
I subscribe to a “Diet & Nutrition” enewsletter from EverydayHealth.com and I saw this really interesting article. I thought it was relevant. I’ve seen quite a few people disappointed in themselves or near giving up. This is definitely worth a read, even if you’re doing great :-)
Losing weight — and keeping it off for good — requires both physical and mental...

Weigh in Wednesday: The Let's Try This Again...
Now that the frustration has subsided, I have gained some clarity on the situation. Also, I need to start taking my own advice. It was just a shock. And definitely something I wasn’t expecting.

Review of My HRM!
So a couple of people have asked me about my HRM. So I figured why not write a review?! And, you know, stop failing at blogging lol

This is probably the coolest thing I own. A little sad, yes, but so much fun!

NSV #1 — I’m way too excited about WIW tomorrow. It’s the first time I’ll be taking my measurements since I started working out. And I’m f*cking excited!
