I mentioned last post the EndlessBeauty.com Extreme Body Challenge. http://endlessbeauty.com/content/endlessbeautycom-extreme-body-challenge All the info is at that link–what it is, our food logs, and more.

Oil … what to use?

She says you gotta meet me 🙂 Thanks, Mel! Also, this pic of me doing ring dips was on…

This particular gem of a quote is from Episode 15. Where he also notes that to get the greatest hit from caffeine, mix it…

I’ve been thinking a lot about training my weaknesses. But then Keith Norris at Theory to Practice, a great blog, posted on the very same topic some very poignant insights: that while you address your weaknesses, don’t train away from your strengths–he sums it up best by saying “work whatchur mama give ya.” Check out…
