Awesome! Thank you!

Hmm...I tried it and found it a little too tough since i'm usually sore from strength training. Maybe i'll try it again when i've got a lot of energy.

I was maybe the laziest person ever until one day I just got so fed up with my lifestyle and trying to wish myself into a thinner body. I think finding the motivation is different for everyone...you can't really force it. But once I got into a routine and started seeing real results...I got hooked! The endorphins you get…

I run a boutique downtown so i'm on my feet all day! Hauling inventory up and downstairs etc etc. When I work in the afternoon I go in the morning, and when I work in the morning I either work out at home or go in the evening (my gym gets super crowded almost to the point of obnoxious between 5:30 and 7:00 so i try to…

yes yes absolutely! i knew i was missing something

i know this is personal but, are you pmsing? lol! i seem to gain like 4 pounds in that week, all in water weight!

for me, its always fatty greasy high carb foods...fries, chinese, macaroni and cheese...!
