6 months progress. :)
So here's my progress picture. I'm not at my goal yet, but I know I'm closer than what I was! So proud of myself. Yes, I did skip a few days. There were times where I went weeks without working out and I indulged in junk food, but I'm proud to say I do prefer to eat healthier, and I eat smaller portion meals & don't finish…

Whey Protein & other shakes?
Hello! I've been recently doing INSANITY, and I've read a lot of topics about Whey Protein or Recovery Formula (Though - I'm aware Beachbody has lots of stuff that rips you off) that you should take during the day with INSANITY and others.. I've been told I should get Whey protein or Shakeology to aid with getting rid of…

Insanity - is it good? & other advice?
Hello loves! I recently talked to a few friends who started doing Insanity, and I was just wondering, is it a good workout? Is it effective? I know the whole "If you stick with it, it works" thing, but I also have gotten NO results from "30 Day Shred" even though I ate right and everything. What do you recommend if I do…

Pineapple Upside Down Cake
So I recently got this book from the library called "Light Cooking" and it had a picture of a rasberry lemon tiramisu and I thought "..OH YES!"

Yoga?
I've been needing yoga lately. Problem? I have no idea what/how/when/noidea where to even begin. I've been thinking about Jillian Michaels "yoga meltdown" but I'm a beginner - and that doesn't exactly look beginner friendly. I've done yoga before - but it was mainly just for meditation. Problem being it was in a class for…

Beginning future runner?
I'm contemplating on running outside instead of the treadmill (since I can't, it keeps jerking) My questions are.. Where / How do I start? I need something a little slower than the couch - 5k.

Ladies only please, <3
SO.. Have a question. It's my "time of the month" (sorry for details) and I have come to the fact that no matter how many 'sleeping medication' I take, warm showers, or warm glass of milk I drink, I'm only ever going to get 3-4 hours of sleep a night. The weird thing is I feel like I've slept a normal amount of time, like…

just a quick workout question (:
When working out, must I keep it on a consistent time? Or am I able to workout different times? It sounds like a silly question - but due to my schedule, I can't workout at the same time, sometimes i'd have to work out one day in the morning, and another day at night. A couple people has told me it's no big deal, as long…

What's one thing you hate about working out?
It can be anything. Even if you are like me, and LOVE to workout, there's always that one little thing that pisses you off. Which, again, if you're like me, you use it to push further. :) Environment, people, the exercise, anything. Mine is : I hate working out in front of people. I hate talking while I'm working out and I…

It really makes me mad when..

She used to be a great friend of mine, actually. Since we graduated already, we decided to catch up. I also weight a lot in freshman but I had lost weight…

My progress so-far.. :) but not no-where done!
Well, I started working out a month ago. I was feeling "icky" and didn't see a change that everone else supposedly saw and honestly, I thought they were just bluffing to make me feel better. so Lucky for me, I took a picture the day I started working out, the middle, and today. I do see a little difference with what I'm…
