Make up a chart of your weekly classes and their times. Then where the times are tight, (between classes have a food bars ready…

“ I think a lot of people have hit the nail on the head saying that you have to love yourself first. If you’re not in a good place in your life and with yourself then its just really not conducive to a relationship. Be at peace with yourself and who you are-and quit looking for someone-and you'll find the right person! “ -…

I have a friend who a vegetarian - but he eats seafood to supplement his protein needs = tuna - salmon - talipia - shrimp - crab meat - sushi. So you might try adding it to your system.

Jenngles, Our body is an interesting animal. It's good to mix it up a little. One morning you can have grain next morning have eggs or meat.

I Weigh in every morning before drinking or eating anything.
