Let’s rewind a little less than two years ago. I was just beginning my weight loss journey and was convinced that cardio was the only way to go. I didn’t need any of that other stuff, right? Right. (Read with sarcasm.) I came home one day after work in a hurry. It was 5:20 p.m., and I had to be … [Read more…]

I finished Day 10 of Shredding earlier today, Phase 1. I seem to think about shredding all day long, way before I actually DO IT and long way after it’s DONE.
