Friend Makin’ Mondays: Before Photos

February 12, 2012

Exhausted, Famished and Convinced That I Can Do Anything (Part 2)

February 10, 2012

As I mentioned in my last post, I tend to write my posts at night.  I do a lot of things at night like writing, exercising, studying, reading, etc.  But last night I tried something new, Bikram Yoga, and I slept like a stone.  My first Bikram experience left me feeling like I could accomplish [...]

I love to hit the gym, but there are times in which it’s just easier or more appealing to workout at home.  And if you know me, you know that I adore Richard Simmons and his workout DVD’s, but sometimes it’s fun to mix things up.  And after meeting Nicole from Spark People last year, [...]
