  • This last week has been kind of hectic, and I want to be honest with you guys: I haven’t been working out as much as I committed to. So this week I’ve decided to try a little experiment to get myself more motivated, and it involves YOU.

  • In today’s video I decided to show you what I do every morning: pack up my lunch before I head to work. [youtube http://youtu.be/jusCD9k2yKg”>http://youtu.be/jusCD9k2yKg ]

  • When I first started writing this blog, I didn’t really have any expectations for where it would take me or if it would affect my life in any way at all. All I knew was that I loved to write, and blogging seemed like a pretty good way to write a bit more often and…
