DEXA Scan! (Read if you are thinking about doing it!)
I finally coughed up the money and got my DEXA scan done last Friday ($75 USD at my university). I decided to do it as I have been half-a$$edly working out and eating this past year. Well, it's time to put my money where my mouth is! I also just finished a personal training package (big strength gains, little physical…

FIRST Before/During Photos - HUGE face difference!
I just recently started to see changes when I had photos taken of me. Then Facebook timeline came about and I REALLY saw a difference compared with some older pics.

NSV - Spin Bike
I hadn't been to a spin class in about a month until this afternoon. June was a rough month - I had bounced all around the scale and then finally dropped 2 pounds at the end of the month. So as I was riding today, I looked down and realized I could no longer see my gut while riding. I used to get so frustrated by that damn…

My 1st NSV: Self-Control
I overcame my first episode of stress eating today since starting up two weeks ago. Emotional/stress eating is what got me into the current state of affairs so this was pretty huge. After a long 9 hour day at work, I had an Accounting exam across town and then try to make it to Zumba in less than an hour and a half. As I…
