2015 - A Year of Good Deeds
Now is the time of selfies, entitlement, materialism, and narcissism. People are forgetting about things that really matter. We need to no only think of ourselves but also those around us. There are more "likes" on mean, rude, and self absorbed posts than on any about helping others or doing some good. I truly believe…

Myfitnesspal vs. livestrong/ myplate
So I am 5ft 1in and currently weigh 137lbs. I have set my tracker to lose 1lb a week. Which is not really happening. I've been using mfp for a long time but recently signed into the livestrong one just for kicks. Now I'm confused. mfp is telling me that I am supposed to consume 1280cal before working out but livestrong is…

Bug Out
Okay so like my profile says I'm kind of a nerd. I like starwars, lord of the rings, disney, zombies, pirates... many things. So here is my question. I have a bug-out bag. My boss and I were discussing what all we would put in our bags. If you partake in this frame of mind... what's in your bug-out bag or what does your…

Thinking about joining Planet Fitness
So I am thinking about joining planet fitness... just to see how long it takes for them to tell me I'm inappropriate... any guesses? Is it an NSV to get a talking too because I'm too toned? or running too hard on the treadmill? I guess I will know that I am dressed right for maximum calorie burn if they 'flag' my workout…

Are you too hard on yourself?
A husband and wife both study her face and describe what they see to a third party. Eve Ahmed, 51, and her husband Peter Lovett, a market researcher, bravely agreed to study Eve's face and reveal what they both see. What you read might change your thoughts on how you view yourself. It made me rethink a few things. Here are…

Sorry to shoot you down but...
Little bit personal but I may have had a slightly uncomfortable talk with a beverage today. There it was, a Green Apple Rockstar sitting on my desk this morning when I came in for work. It had just shown up out of no where, like I didn't already have plans for the day. I set it aside and it has been staring at me from the…

Sneaking around... have you?
I admit it. I've been sneaking around at work. I've been stuck at my desk lately staring at a computer all day. So at my break I've been sneaking into empty areas and... doing my Runtastic Squats and 6-pack abs apps. I am trying to get it in wherever I can. I've even done my squat workout while hiding out in the bathroom.…

Somehow managed to find my way back
"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. ” ― Walt Disney I may have fallen off the wagon and bouced far, far away but I somehow managed to find my way back. I have been looking in the mirror and shaking my head at what I saw and how I've fallen back into the same routine. I am going to weigh and measure…

Work Out at Work? Yes!
Work Out at Work? Yes! Training Without Leaving the Office The modern workplace wreaks havoc on our health.

Classes cost too much...
I have a hard time paying extra to join classes (I would have to pay $10 more a month at the gym I'm at now). I have done free classes in the past but I don't feel like I click with people in the classes I've been to and that's a big part of it for me. I don't really feel the desire to go if I don't 'have someone there for…

I joined the site when i hit 150#'s (I'm 5'1") and realized that i needed to lose weight if I'm going to…
