I take my stress to the gym. Loud agressive music and sweat. I feel fantastic after. Another thing that kept me motivated was anger. I have a sister in law that is negative. When I started losing weight she said. " you know your just going to gain it back". I placed her photo on my treadmill for a while. Sometimes your…

My final breaking point was my health. I was in ICU for 8 days. My heart stopped. I now have a second chance to get my health in order. It was the push i needed to commit. Without the struggle there is no progress. Every day is a new dream. Commit to your plans for that 24 hours. Wake up and repeat the process. When you…

Are you concentrating on hitting your macronutrients on my fitness pal? Protein first, vegetables and low carb? Protein will help you feel full. Sweet potatoes are carbs on the low glycemic index. Oats are also carbohydrates. I guess every nutritionist will give different advice. This was my instructions with carbs for…

This seems to be a common myth with women. It takes steroids or a significant amount of nutrition and training to get that kind of bulk/muscle built. I have been lifting five days a week for a year. It has enhanced my distance running. Athletic with some curve is my goal.

Mine has been open for 2.5 years. I dont think many people have looked at mine. Most people are focused on their own goals.

None of us are perfect. You had a setback. No need to beat yourself up over it I give myself perspective when I'm discouraged. We all are busy. Weight loss and changing to a healthy lifestyle is hard work. Without the struggle, there is no progress. Any hospice patient with 3 months to live would gladly change places with…

No judment here. We are adults. We make our own decisions. You might want to research phen fen. It comes down to eating healthy and exercising. You wont be on the medication long term.

Macros are important for the amount of training you are doing. Hitting your protien goals are important for retaining and building muscle. Two hours daily of cardio is an above average fitness level. Is this your fitness plan that your trainer developed? Is your goal building muscle or distance running? This is my repeat…

I run and lift alone at the gym. I always have my headphones on. I appreciate my committed regulars. We are focused on our goals and talk before or after our workouts. It's fantastic to see the influx of women lifters. Sometimes it's intimidating crossing over to the guy's side of the gym. We are supportive of each other…

How many of us have started a weight loss or exercise plan, veered off course, and then decided we’ve already “blown it” so then fallen totally off the wagon? If all-or-nothing thinking doesn’t defeat us before we start, it will get us in the end. Would you ever tell another person. "You made a mistake, you might as well…
