Here’s a recipe I like… 2 - 3 cups of Spinach 1 Banana ¼ cup of Old Fashioned Oats ½ cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk 1 tbsp of Coconut Peanut Butter (Earth Balance) OR; About 10 Walnuts w/ Cinnamon (to taste) Ice I drink one every morning and before an afternoon workout if I need a boost

You rocked 2013! I LOVE you advice.

Best of luck on your new journey. I've started over a million times as well, never stop trying.

This is VERY helpful. Thanks for posting!

I'm a beginner so you have to break this down for me, lol!

Boxing classes are a part of the gym membership. Getting a lifting coach/trainer would be additional $.

I've done Tabata workouts in my Total Fit classes and I love it... Not sure why I didn't think of doing this on my own. I love idea of breaking cardio up into small parts.

I've been trying C25K but I don't feel like I'm burning enough calories. I haven't been able to get past week 4 because of the running parts. I know running is a mental thing but I just can't seem to get past it. However, I definitely plan to keep trying until I'm able to do a 5K.

I recommend butt pads or pants with butt pads in them. They look crazy but will save you a lot of butt pain :). Spinning is so much fun with the right teacher and "class" mates. Also, don't worry about trying to keep up with everyone else, go at your own pace. Most importantly... Have fun!
