i don't make resolutions lists. i do however make lists. lots of lists. i set goals all year long. but the turning of the calendar does lend itself nicely to taking a look back, and a solid look forward. looking back: two years ago, i had to set some new goals because 5 days into the…
almost 2 years in. a story of getting fit. ish.
I've told the story of how i started working with a trainer a few times. but I'll reiterate. after a pretty devastating break up in Jan. of '12, my sister bought me 6 weeks (12 sessions) with her trainer as a way to keep my head out of the oven. also with the idea that…
