Is it just me, or is this getting harder

Pin itI am on Day4 of Level 3 on the 30-Day Shred, and maybe it’s just me, but it seems to be getting harder each day rather than easier. I mean, I’m already sweating and out of breath after the freaking warm up! By the time I hit circuit 2 I’m ready to die, and [...]

Sugar. You Suck.

Pin itI like sugar. I like sugar a lot. I like it on my cereal.  I like it on my oatmeal. I like it in my coffee. I like it baked into stuff. I like it not baked into stuff. What I don’t like is how it makes me want to eat more. How one [...]
