Today I did a 20 min kettlebell workout and just put it in as a weight workout which came in at 100 cals. burned. Several articles I read online said a 25 min…

I feel that this was the perfect setting for me last year because I was teaching Kindergarten and while moving a lot I didn't feel that I was active the entire day.

UGH I completely forgot....
This summer has not been the greatest for me as far as watching my eating and working out. I did really well at the beginning but then it just slipped away and I started gaining the weight back because my eating habits were horrible.

Today has already been a tough day for me. I've been on mfp for exactly 3 weeks today and for some reason I have been STARVING today!! I have been hungry other days but for some reason today has been beyond hunger! I've eaten a little bit more today than what I usually do so I do not starve myself and now I was just…

First major hurdle....crushed
For some people this may not seem like a huge deal but for me it was really exciting. I've only been on mfp for about 2 weeks and so far I love it! Being young and living in a college town predrinking, bars with more drinking, and late night eating after drinking are all usually things that are in a night out. Last night…
