21 Days to Build a Habit
I have gotten out of the habit of exercising and logging my calories. Some people say it takes 21 days to build a habit. Not sure if there's anything to that, but I'll take it as a challenge! My goal is starting today, to do 21 days straight of exercising and logging my food. Even if I can only jog for 15 minutes, I won't…

Can you say how much of stuff you usually eat too? Let me know if you have any thoughts about my typical day below. Thanks for sharing! A…

Does the 30 Day Shred count as "strength training"?
I'm not asking how to log it as exercise, cause I always log it under circuit training or calisthenics and I have an HRM anyway so it doesn't matter. But I am wondering if it counts as strength training because many sources recommend three strength training sessions a week. In addition to a **** load of cardio, I have been…

What do you do for soreness after workouts?
My shoulders and back have been aching all week, even after a massage (not from a professional, though). I did a couple strength workouts this week with bent-over rows with heavier weights than usual, so I'm thinking that's what did it. I just can't find any relief! Any specific food you eat or herbal tea or bath or…
