Herbalife
So, I've been very put off by Herbalife. I've done research and understand it's a pyramid scheme and by no means would I want to get involved in the financial or marketing aspect. However, several of my friends have tried it and had success and one would like me to try it (after turning down 5 other friends) and after…

Planet Fitness sucks.

Food for Airplane
I know this is far away, but I'm kind of OCD when it comes about planning things, especially when it consists of flying halfway across the country... But in June I'm flying out to VA for 10 days to visit my in-laws. The way there and back will be pretty long. With 3 hour layovers on the way there and back, and traveling…

Things you hate people say about working out
What are somethings that people say about either their workout, or how other people work out? Mine is: "You can't show up the the gym in a full face of makeup and your hair all done and get a good workout in." I hate this...I usually go in after work, so my hair and makeup are already done. It's not like I go out of my way…

Pre-Workouts.
Firstly, I've heard it can cause water weight because of the Creatine...is this actually true or just b.s.? Also, what are good ones you've taken?

I HATE Beans, but want to eat them...
I know, it sounds weird. I LOATHE beans. Just the smell of them makes me want to gag. I sort of like chickpeas (but won't go out of my way to eat them) and can stomach black beans. I'm a texture eater, so that has A LOT to do with it, but the taste grosses me out too. I know beans are super good for you, and I want to get…
