Got in maybe 50 crunches/obliques/supermans, 25 bis/french presses/shoulder presses, 20 push-ups, and tried to stretch as much as possible. It’s good to get...

So, calories today are not optimal, but it was a hard day and I decided to go easy on myself. Hoping that tomorrow my quads are okay again. I did finances today and realized that I have no money at all for the next few months, so I...
I keep getting warnings about the dangers of being “all or nothing.” The first thing that people say when I tell them that I’m trying to get healthy/lose weight is to pace myself and not get too caught up in it. I can understand this to an extent, because it really does feel like once I start being healthy in one arena (like eating), I feel more like being healthy in all arenas...
