What have you learned the hard way?

I have learned that you can not put Ben Gay on a groin pull. What have you learned the hard way?

    That rest is equally as important as diet which is equally as important as exercise. It used to be hard for me to rest. Now I listen to my body and give it what it needs.. whether it's rest or fuel or pushed to the limit.

    Don't argue with a member of the Atlanta PD about whether or not one really could see that no left turn sign. They REALLY don't like it.

    *and as an adult it is very possible to find yourself with said hickey.. they aren't just for teenagers

    That eating less doesn't make me lose weight faster.

    For better or worse, most people are thinking about themselves, not you.

  • I learned that trampolining is a fun hobby, I learned that fencing is a fun hobby. I learned it's never a good idea to combine them.

    You can bust your *kitten* in the gym, but if your diet is not clean then you don't get very far!

    Not to eat Fiber One bars. Ever. The noxious fumes they cause me to create have almost been the death of me and those around me. Very, very bad. (Although I do feel better since there is an entire website dedicated to the farts that Fiber One bars cause so I'm not the only one.)

    Also, never, ever, ever mistake the rubbing alcohol for the witch hazel when trying to soothe your nether regions after having a baby. It's like napalm and it burns! I didn't know I could move that fast!

    Think before you speak (or type, as the case may be.) You don't have to express every thought that comes into your head.

    When you want something, go get it. It isn't going to come to you.

    If it's worth doing, it's worth putting in all the work it requires. Laziness gets crap results.
