It’s that time of year again –when gym memberships ramp up and people start looking for weight loss programs that will help them meet that “lose 10 pounds” New Year’s resolution they’ve been making for the past 15 years straight.

Every Single Thing You Need to Know About Medifast
As many of you know I am in the process of a life redo. And, for those of you who know me (via this blog or via the football field), you know that I am the master of disaster when it comes to those.

For the next few weeks I will be participating in a get fit and healthy program with Revolt Fitness. I anticipate that I will look like Serena Williams when I am finished.

The Unsightly Side Effects of Working Out.
Since I made a secret vow to myself to be more healthy and fit by my 35th-please-no-make-it-stop-already next 29Again birthday, I have made a number of lifestyle changes. First, I’ve changed my eating habits dramatically. This has led to my discovery that there are certain foods that I actually do love basically-almost-totally just as much as cupcakes.
