Forever ago I started a post as part of a monthly blogging challenge (September, 2012 to be exact). I wrote and re-wrote the post and tried to get my thoughts out how I best wanted to say what I wanted to say, but nothing came out right. So there it sat, collecting dust in my […]

Maybe because I am not feeling as “aesthetically fit” as I was a month or two ago, I am becoming a bit more judgmental on how women are choosing to boast progress in their fitness. While I’m usually the last person to have haters, I posted a comment in a female-focused lifting group on Facebook […]

Can you believe that it is just about 2013 already? While everyone else is recapping their 2012 progress and setting up 2013 goals, I wanted to do something a little different and give a little guidance for those who are trying to set goals for the new year.

Then something happens when I allow myself a “cheat […]

So after my horrible mini-meltdown after an amazing vacation full of sleeping and eating, and more eating and eating.. I think my boyfriend had some pity on me and decided to give me an advance on my pull-up challenge and buy me a present anyway without me having to torture myself some more 🙂 I […]

As part of working on my NROLFW program, I have learned a lot about how the fitness industry somewhat has a distinction between what exercises men and women should be doing, and how most of that is just pure nonsense. The book encourages stepping away from the pink “Barbie” weights and becoming familiar with the […]

The intention was to do a venting write-up on front squats last night, but due to unforeseen circumstances, this post was delayed.. Has there ever been a particular workout move that you torture yourself with and get such mental anguish over that it throws off your whole focus and frustrates the heck out of you? Up until […]
