You really eat that crap?

Hahaha, I get the question in the title a LOT.   Yes, I really eat that.  That really was my breakfast one day last week.  I do not eat things like this all the time of course, but on occasion, yes I eat McDonald's food.  It is not bad, it is not good.

Snagged this image from informhealth.com on a post they did back from 2013 about diets.  This is showing many of the different diets out there....from 2013! There are lots more now!  From The Atkins Diet to The Zone Diet and all those in between.  There are more diets out there than you can shake a stick at.  I am sure you have tried several of them.  Maybe even lost some weight on them.  The book stores have shelves and shelves of different books, the grocery stores have all the different diet ...

Bulky or Not? You decide.

        I wanna get bulky!...said no woman ever…..at least not any of the women I know. I wanna get bulky!...said no woman ever…..at least not any of the women I know. What I usually hear when I encourage my clients or friends or family to strength train is more along the lines of “I don’t want to get bulky, I just want to get toned”, or “I want long lean muscles not big fat ones” I even get those who say I don’t want muscles, I just want to lose weight and l...
