Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way – WSJ.com. Instead of indulging in the holiday-season office cookies and after-work cocktail parties Kristen Silverman…

  • Even the score workout

    I headed to another workout for the day — partly it’s to keep me busy during my week off and partly it’s because I have been totally out of control eating wise the past 3 days. Not that I am eating a ton but I have been having bread/wheat and I totally feel horrible. I…

  • 2 A-Day Workouts

  • Cheaters!

    Cheaters! « LifeAsRx. I find this post humorous – it’s something I think about a lot too — cheating on your reps. I remind myself that you are only hurting yourself if you cheat and it’s not about other people – it’s about me. Sometimes that works, other times it pisses me off when I…
