So happy for you, littlefury! I ended up going out with my friends as well, and I was the only one to not have a drink! Quite unusual for me, I think it had to do with your inspiration! As well as the fact that I made sure I ate a satisfying meal beforehand. I wasn't craving anything! Mini goal of workout: donezo! (and it…

It takes me a good hour and 45 minutes to complete each workout. I try to rest 60 seconds between each set as well, though often I feel like I have to rush to…

Hello New Rules Ladies! I am a newbie to the program. On the 3rd week of Stage 1. Reading the book has given me a new perspective on how I want to change my body and lifestyle! I love the mindset of becoming stronger instead of 'losing weight'. I want to gain muscle and confidence! And I already feel like it's working.…
