Hi DeAnna!

Having lady troubles of my own, I can certainly understand how you feel! It sounds as though you have the right ideas, so, I'm excited for you, that you are taking charge of your life...

I totally get where you are coming from! I never fit into any cliques either, and I definitely was not the popular girl in school. Everyone only ever knew me as the "smart girl" and of course when...

I have a mentally challenging job, so I welcome the workout after work. It melts the stress away and puts me in a happy mood. :) On bad days, I do have to force myself to hit the weights, and I'll...

I throw a bunch of chicken breasts in the Crock Pot with a jar of salsa, juice of one lime, and a bit of low sodium chicken broth. Before eating, I shred it up...tastes great in a whole wheat...

I too work in an office where food (mostly unhealthy, though) is readily available at all times. I pack my lunch everyday and have an understanding with myself that I am only to eat what I packed. ...

Beat It - Fall Out Boy version
Try It Again - The Hives
Levitate - Hollywood Undead
Diamond Eyes - Shinedown
Fake It - Seether
Gimme Shelter - Puddle of Mudd

Those always get me pumped up!

I'm from Texas and I'm friendly! :D

People do amazing things with their bodies...you can to! :) You just have to want it!

Typically a sports bra and tight shorts...I like seeing what I've been working on! :) I live in Texas, so, during the hot summer months, I sometimes wear my bathing suit! Haha!

I'm so sorry to hear that the people who should be supporting you the most, are the ones giving you grief! I see this quite often, where one person in the family decides to make positive life...

We all get in a rut from time to time, so you're not alone. You need to ask yourself why you want to work out. To become super ripped? To lose weight? To feel better? Whatever your reasons are,...

I'm the opposite...I have to force myself to lift weights. I just don't get the rush from lifting that I do from running. It's kind of like a mind game for me. I set these little goals along the...

I had an ice cream cone, alright! But, but…it's Texas, and it's like 150 degrees outside! I haven’t had one in ages and I was just so hot so I HAD to… It was sooo…G-O-O-D…..

Women are very jealous creatures! I have the same problem with my girlfriends. None of them want to give up partying and eating out all the time, and they surely don't want to work out, but since I...

NASM will be launching a nutrition course in the near future. I was going to go through ISSA, but have decided to wait, since I got my PT Cert through NASM. I wish I knew exactly when to expect it....

My advice would be to make sure that you know Chapters 5 & 6 really well! Lots of the exam questions were about the assessments in Chapter 5. Have a good understanding of all vocabulary words and...

Great post!

What people don't realize is that they didn't just gain all that weight overnight, so they aren't going to lose it overnight either. If having a nice body was easy, then everyone...

I totally understand about bonding with the family. That was hard for me too! I loved his family...they were always good to me. When I divorced him, I had to divorce them too. It was a sad...

My situation was very different than yours, but it's something that got me into working out and eating healthy.

I married at a young age…thought I knew what I was doing. After we got married, it...

I get hassled all the time by my co-workers because I don't indulge in the sinful things they bring to work (donuts, ice cream, kolaches, etc). They like teasing me and saying, "Oh, so you're gonna...
