The fear of getting fat again can be a good thing
I’m not scared of ghouls and ghosts. My biggest fear isn’t something popping out of the shadows to eat my brains. It’s the fear of getting fat again.
Stop overthinking your goals and go break a sweat
Stop overthinking your goals and resolutions and go break a sweat. You will always fail to get results if you keep making excuses not to work out.
Fitocracy – The Best Gym App and Fitness Network
I grew up playing roleplaying games, not fitness games. I started with The Legend of Zelda--complete with the cool-as-heck, gold NES cartridge--and I’ve never looked back. Two dozen or so Chrono Trigger rentals, Final Fantasy VII on release day, World of Warcraft for...
