I am heading into my fourth round of Boot Camp. This 21 day boot camp is focused on Abs…if you have read any of my earlier posts, you know that my one big issue with my abs is…I don’t have any. Muscle that is. None. I have a gelatinous mass residing under my abdominal skin…

It’s official – a day without exercise is a day that I wonder if my pants will still fit. I can see how adding exercise to the daily routine can be stressful. I seem to be more stressed when I don’t exercise so I need to either keep up the routine or get a prescription…

On May 23rd, I wrote about joining a boot camp called LDB- Little Black Dress put on by Jake Glaze. I expected to maintain enough stamina to finish the six weeks and get a jump start on working out with my never-ending supply of work out videos at home. I expected to commit to…
