Struggling with grip when Weight lifting
Now that I am lifting heavier weights, I struggle to meet my repetitions because I can't seem to hold my grip for long enough. I don't know very much about lifting heavier weights, so is there a product out there that could help? Lifting Gloves? Lifting Straps? Do you use one that you love? I would appreciate any advice or…

Too hilarious not to share
When I got up this morning, I didn't really have much clean to run in, so I ended up wearing some booty shorts that I usually sleep in. (I can't decide whether this is a sign that I need to go shopping for warm weather running gear or that I need to do laundry more often. I think I am going to stick with the shopping.) My…

Total NSV
This morning I had a coworker come up to me and ask if I was still running. I said yes, after a couple weeks' break, I started running again this morning and it was rough.

Non-meat sources of protein
I switched my goal to 40/30/30 (carbs/fat/protein) in an effort to fuel the strength training that I just started and I am finding that I am always wayyy under on protein. I need more of it. I do eat meat, but I don't really want to add more of it to my diet and I don't like any kind of fish except shrimp and crab. I know…

NSV - my compression pants no longer compress
So this morning, while running, I ran into a problem. My size Large compression running capris that I bought from Nike are too big! They are loose around my waist! My thighs and hips to some degree were literally what held them in place. I haven't run into a problem wearing my normal pants yet, but I've always worn those…

My body is funny.
So, I finally took my measurements last night. And I figured out that my biggest part of my hips isn't actually my hips. It's my thighs. My thighs are actually a whole inch larger around than my hips are. crazy, right? I guess it's all those years of basketball...or something, but my thighs have always been big. My new…
