About a month ago, Nia Shanks, creator of Beautiful Bada$$ and co-founder of Girls Gone Strong, posted an article about throwing out your scale. In it, she discusses how many women are completely defeated when they see a certain number on the scale, rather than focusing on how they look and feel. Prior to the […]

Why not blog about it?

August 1, 2012

I’ve never considered myself a runner (even though I trained for, and ran two 5ks last year, ran another this year, and signed up for one more in the fall). I never really considered myself a real weightlifter yet either (even though I finished NROLFW and currently do a three-day-a-week StrongLifts routine). I also don’t […]

The Happiest Finish Line on the Planet!

July 22, 2012

I completed the Color Run today with an unofficial time today of 31:25 (as there was no clock at the race, so I relied on my MapMyRun app. However, the “Finish Line” of the race was before the mapped 5k finish, so I only ended up completing 2.78 miles of “running,” on top of the […]
