Today, I went to my first wedding dress fitting. I showed up to my appointment for the dress fitting and put the dress on and it was way too big!
I found the dress in the winter (December or January, I think) it was a pretty good size. I fit in it very well and there were [...]

I shared a workout session with Stacey this week. Our trainer, Devin, worked us hard. He focused on Stacey’s legs and I had a full body workout. I was so happy to have previously scheduled this session because I was having a tough day and it would have been SO EASY to go home right [...]

It’s official. I’m a lifer at WeightWatchers!
What does that mean?
If you already know the WeightWatchers program, skip down to the next section “how did it feel.”
When you reach your goal weight at WeightWatchers you start what is called “maintanence.” You increase your daily points value of what you can eat in order to maintain your [...]

Last night was my first softball game, ever! I was so nervous! Thankfully, my wonderful fiancee took me to the field early
so we could practice hitting a few balls. That did wonders for my confidence. I hit a few good balls and felt good. Then

Sometimes it can be hard to convince yourself to do some physical activity, whether it’s going for a walk, going to the gym, or even doing exercises at home. Even on some of my best days, it’s amazing what that little “devil” voice in my head will bring up as excuses for me to not [...]

Stacey and I had not been climbing in so long we finally carved out some time to go to the gym. It felt really good to be back. At first I was worried I wouldn’t remember how to belay but it all came back naturally. I guess it’s like riding a bike, [...]

For the last week I had been feeling really sick. I missed a couple of days at gym because I was so ill. I napped instead and thankfully it paid off because I feel so much better.
I made it back to the gym today. It’s amazing but even after being away for [...]

This weekend I went for a 20 minute run on the treadmill.
For those of you who are very active already, you’re probably thinking “okay, and then…?” as in, that can’t be my whole story. For those of you who are not active yet maybe you’re thinking “Twenty minutes? How did you run that long?” For [...]
