WHY DIETS DON’T WORK
Diets are misleading.
What the diets tell you: “Hey! Lose like 20 pounds in one...

The Fitmas Calendar!
Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking lately about doing something creative and fun during Christmas time! So, I’ve come up with the idea of making a “fitmas calendar”! It’s the basically the same thing as a Christmas calendar, but instead of giving chocolate or gifts; I’m giving you small, daily challenges, exercise- and food wise! Who doesn’t want to look great in their Christmas dress? Please note...

(Read: I’ve given up the right to earn any sort of sustained, reliable salary)
On this journey, I’ve realized that becoming a writer is much like being welcomed into the mafia.
Think about it.

wrapmeindreams asked: Right. So. Having a bloody annoying problem right now. My stomach is the HARDEST thing to shift fat from. I'm so keen to get those lovely firm abs, but it's darn impossible. I exercise 5 times a week, and I eat really healthy. I rarely eat meat, and I have lots of fruit and veg. Fast food and I are NOT friends. So what am I doing wrong? D'you reckon my body just isn't designed...

brittnjo87 asked: I am just under 5'5 and started a change in eating habits and started to exercise 4-6 days a week. I was an athlete throughout high school and college so I have muscle mass. I jumped on a scale just over 2 weeks ago and weighed 154.6. About 3 days ago I was 151.6, today I was 155. Why would this be happening? I'm not on my cycle, I've been doing well with my lifestyle change...I...

sunlight-happiness asked: I absolutely love your blog! It's made trying to get healthy SO easy when I always thought I would never be able to do it. On that note though, I have a quick question. I started watching my calorie intake/went to the gym on Wednesday (today's Saturday just fyi). I've cut out sugary foods and junk food and have trying to eat healthy. Between then and today, I've already lost...

Anyways, here’s my favorites:
Tumblr!! I am a very visually motivated person I’m in the habit of opening...
