150lbs What does that look like?

The SCALE…uugghh! The evil little device that sits in most bathrooms in a corner just eyeing you up every morning. Do you or don’t you step on it every day? I hope that you you don’t!  The scale, obviously used as a tool to keep track of weight management has become and OCD nuisance.  We get so caught up on the number it blurts out at us that it can make or break our emotional well…

Etiquette and Attitude

My peev’s…OH WHERE TO START! I am fortunate to have a home gym, so thankfully I do not have to deal with any of the annoyances of gym etiquette and attitudes. CELL PHONES- Leave them in your car, in your locker, I don’t care just don’t bring them into the “weight area”.
