NSV:but I don't want to run today!
I am training for my first marathon, which is coming up in october. I am not a great runner by any stretch, but I'm loving the challenge. The only problem is that some days I'm super motivated, but others I just don't have it in me. Today was one of those tough days. I had a big internal struggle this morning. I planned to…

supplemental calisthenics
Hey all! I'm on a pretty good workout regimen consisting of running, weights, spin, and tennis. I'd like to try to add in some calisthenics like sit ups, push ups, lunges, jump squats, etc to make my more cardio inspired workouts a little more complete. What are some quick and efficient regimens that you use to supplement…

Calling fellow rock music lovers
Hi internet! I am posting this because I need to brag a little about a huge life event that occurred this past friday. I got the opportunity to meet an idol of mine, Sully Erna. You may know him as the lead man of Godsmack, but he'd ventured out to create some really inspiring solo music. I highly recommend his record,…

late night eats
Omg, it's 315am and I just got back from the bar. Obviously, a lot happened and all I want is a NYC slice of pizza. But it's hummus and pita for me tonight. How are all of you guys coping with going out and staying on track? Btw, my goal was 3 drinks tonight, and I made it home with 5. That's pretty good for me lol

2013 the year for a marathon?
I started my journey in Dec 2011 and could not run to save my life. I lost some wight (thanks to running) and thought, why can't I turn myself into a runner? I spent 2011-2012 getting my distance and speed up and finished my first half marathon in May 2012 in 2:23. I was very proud, yet pretty tired/sore. I got a little…

anyone else thinks Dr. Oz is a quack?
---RANT ALERT--- I have to admit, the only Dr. Oz that I come across is the 20 minutes I may see of his show at the gym, or the hundreds of people that come into my pharmacy after every show requesting the latest buzz chemical that he mentions. This week is raspberry ketones. After getting about 15 people asking if we sell…

"fat girl syndrome"
So I've always been a big girl, and during this weight loss journey have been shrinking in size, dressing nicer, going out more, and trying to date more. Last night, a friend of mine (who probably has too much confidence) and I went out and were meeting guys at the bar and doing the whole dating game thing. She asked me…

Excessively Tired?
I have been working out pretty intensely for about a year or so, and definitely cranked it up within the last 4 months with a new trainer. He tried to get be on supplements, multivitamin, antioxidant, iron, and vitamin d. I haven't been taking them (usually I forgot on a daily basis and just ended up not taking them). This…

So who else is going to be a shut in for the next three days? How can one lose weight when your gym is closed and all you will do is sit in your house for days?! And what if the power goes out, can't even get those cleaning calories or video workouts done..
