I've always struggled with my weight a bit. Sometimes it was under control, other times it just seemed impossible to stop gaining weight. I gained a lot of weight when I was pregnant with the twins. I felt sick a lot, a[...]

As a nature lover, I believe we have an obligation to take the best care possible of our world. I don't mean this as a political thing, or a debate about climate change. I just love the natural beauty of the world, and I hate seeing it marred by trash and litter. A lot of the trash that exists[...]
I officially signed up for my gym's fitness challenge on Tuesday, January 9th. That means it's been ongoing for just over two weeks! What have I accomplished? Not nearly as much as I was hoping to, honestly. But I'll get into that in a minute. Before the challenge, I decided to stop dieting, and[...]
Despite all my efforts to discover time travel, the years continue to go by faster and faster. Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up 80 years old. To maximize the moments I have left, I am actually going to set some goals this year. I don't think I set any last year, and then I ended up buying a baby horse[...]

Years ago, other than convincing me to go to the gym in the first place, he pulled me away from my cardio-fest and brought me over to the weight side of the gym. All the machines and testos[...]
The Trigger Something triggers you to join a gym. New Year's, or a desire to finally do it, or a picture, either of someone who did do it, or a picture of yourself, and you are shocked at how you changed so much without noticing. There's a gym by your work, or by your house, or next to a s[...]
A while back, I started up Whole 30. I meant to post a more weekly update of what was going on, but let's be serious - I didn't have much to say and it would have been super boring. But, now that it's been several weeks I thought I'd provide an update. Yes, I kept with it to the bitter end of tho[...]
I have made it a full week on Whole 30. It wasn't that hard. Apparently "tough love" is common in this system, and there's an emphasis on not being that hard. I agree it's really not that hard. I did end up buying the book to see what I had actually got myself into - It's a full explanation of the p[...]
