You get a gold star!

An exercise chart is a great way to track your progress and maintain your accountability for a long term program… especially on those days when victory seems so far away.

Go on an adventure! Exploring the trails at your local park is great exercise!

Sam and I went on an impromptu date on Tuesday. I was sitting at my computer, trying to decide if I wanted to do my accounting homework when Sam, very cheerfully, says, “You want to go to a park?” I was so excited!

After removing my workout tank and putting on a “public” tank and protecting my face with sunscreen, we were off.

As I put in the work, morning after morning, week after week… pounding the pavement, lifting the weights, and feeding my body the fuel it needed, the fat began to melt off. I joked around with friends and family that I didn’t want to lose weight – I wanted to know EXACTLY where it was going, and that is, fat burned and released out of my body!
