Fitness is a Journey, not a Destination
When I first started my fitness journey, my main motivation was this idea that I was going to get me some washboard abs. I mean, lets get real – no newbie walks into the gym without an ideal in mind. Habits don’t change just because – habits change because a fire has been lit under…

Where the Energy Goes.
We are more visible now to others than we ever were before. Our world is shrinking in a way, thanks to social media. Our daily routines and events can now be followed by people all over the world. It’s an interesting time to be alive, isn’t it? And to think that this wouldn’t have any…

Self-esteem is Work (and it’s worth it)
We’ve all had those days. When we just wake up, and we don’t feel good about ourselves. Maybe it’s your hair, maybe it’s your clothes. Maybe it’s your weight.

It’s pissing me off.
God, life is hard sometimes. Like, it’s not enough to feel like a work horse all day just trying to make enough money to provide for yourself or your family, and cook and clean, and call your mom, and make it to that coffee date you promised your pal you wouldn’t bail on this time…

Being POSITIVE is not what you think it is.
Being positive is not what you think it is. I know what you’re thinking. Most people have this idea that being a positive person means always having a sunny disposition. Most people think it means never having a bad day. Most people have this preconceived notion that if you identify yourself as a positive person…

Is fitness being “pornified”?
I just read an pretty cool article that discusses the “pornification” of the fitness industry. This concept is something that has been on my mind as of late, and no better time to discuss it than the present!
