Not Blogging for a While, Focusing on Living Healthy

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a blog of my own on FMU, and it will be a while before I post another blog after this one. I decided a long time ago to “be about it” and not just “talk about it.” What I mean is that I got tired of always coming […]

Working Through the Hurt, Rest, Slacking on Nutrition, and a Partner

Pain. That is what I felt. Being an ex-athlete, I’ve grown accustomed to working through pain. It’s almost a “must” in my circle. Or, it was… I’ve recently been busting my butt to get to my goal. By that I mean that I’ve been hitting the exercise a little harder than usual and that has […]

These are essentially diet busters if you don’t control yourself. In the past I would convince myself that it’s okay to indulge for the weekend […]
