Today I interacted with men on a...

My motivations have changed alot over the last four years. But the one thing that has stayed through this entire time has been the driven desire to always improve. To expect and achieve more from...

I too remember being intimidated - it was just practice though that built my confidence. I got comfortable with a couple of exercises then next thing I was moving up weights! That was it, I was...

Bring on the muscles! For me its as much about the strength as the appearance. I want to look strong but also really be strong.... I love the doing as well as the results. Strong, fit, muscular,...

I too have become interested in this. Not a career firefighter but a volunteer. I would say it is quite different here in New Zealand as to what you have to do. I found infomation online as to...

I think the secret isnt in the time but in the direction. As long as you are moving towards your goals and not away it doesnt matter how slow because you WILL get there. Time passes and lots of...

I joke that if I don't write it down it didnt happen! I think people are quite used to me with my journal at the gym. Quite a few other people take various papers and plans so its not...

Sidenote: I kinda got carried away and wrote a bunch of stuff about binge eating in this reply...

Using the phone for phrases works great for me too. I set a few alarms during the day (kid pickup times etc) including my 4.45-5am Gym alarm. It wakes me with "Getting Leaner!" Generally I don't...

I'm with you on the cold thing. I live for Summer now when before I used to endure it.

Perhaps not so much crazy as just a change but my body doesnt tolerate junk food well at all now. If I...

I could soooo easy get no work done watching utube vids. :D Speaking of vids the Valerie Waugaman interview/training featured on the front page is great if you havent checked it out already.
