When I trained for my first 5k, I gave myself a full six months to complete the 8 week program, and it took me about the whole six months to do it since i was a super beginner and I struggled a lot. I never kept up with running and even though I did recently run […]
I think there are some unwritten standards in doing a weightlifting program. Like most people tend to do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday regimen if they workout three times a week. It’s uncommon to see Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, but I suppose there are people to do it. I somewhat feel the same about starting a new program. You’re supposed […]
And.. it’s the end of another era. I have completed my second ever lifting program! Back in July, I finished up New Rules of Lifting for Women and wanted to do something more “big lifts” focused. Under the recommendation of Jared, I started to do Stronglifts 5×5, which involves three workouts a week, alternating a set […]
When I set up my goals for September, I focused on five main categories: blog, food, lifting, cardio, and other. And this month, it was huge struggles all across the board, primarily stemming from my whole food issue (well, Whole30 issue). From my Whole30 experience, I learned that I was not nearly getting enough protein […]

If you couldn’t tell from my posts here, here, here, here, or here, I’ll tell you now that I would rather be lifting a barbell than lacing up my running shoes. While I do try to occasionally […]
I’ve been a blogging bum lately, though I have been trying to be a bit more active on Twitter, so check me out there if you haven’t followed me yet (and please “like” me on Facebook!)! This last week went by pretty quickly, and the August Blogger Challenge is almost over! I feel like the last […]
Fitness Cheerleader’s August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge: Day 21: Why did you start a blog? I have only been blogging since February, so the original intent of this blog is pretty much the same as how it is today: to blog about my journey to be healthy and strong. I wanted to track my […]
Fitness Cheerleader’s August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge: Day 17: Share your favourite workout routine This is a bit tough for me to say since I recently finished one program and onto another, and haven’t ever really had to create my own routine in between. I’ve found in the last 6 months that sticking to […]
