An Opinion please

"Real" Women
I've seen this expression here a few times today. All women are real women, whether they were born as women or transitioned to women. If they have the "parts" they're real! Being a "real" woman is not defined by your weight, or your curves (or lack thereof). Women come in all sizes, shapes, colours, forms, etc. There are…

Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny........Successes for the day
This is an uphill battle for most people. Everyone has failures and successes every day. We spend far too much time wallowing in the failures. I think we should celebrate even the smallest victories. Today, I have pre-logged all of my food, AND stuck to what I have pre-logged. What is your success for today?

Stitch Pains
You know....those little annoying cramps that you get in your side when you are out of shape and go jogging or running? I walk about 3 miles every day.

I was told - by a personal trainer - that if I ate a chocolate bar or some other "bad" food before going to the gym, it wouldn't matter because those were the calories that I would burn first. Is there any truth to this?? Thanks for your help.
