Not looking forward to how crowded the gym is...
All those New Year’s Revolutionists! Haha :) No offense to anyone, because it’s great to set goals, but it just kind of peeves me that people wait and wait just for this day to hit the gym. Anyone else feel me? Haha.
I’m probably going to get a hate message for this.
What I’m trying to say is people need to stop telling themselves, “Oh, I’ll start next...
itsthejourney-notthedestination asked: where do you get your protein powder from and what brand do you use? :)
runlonger asked: what protein brand do you use? I literally just bought protein shake stuff and Im almost scared to start using it!
getuswhilewe-rehot asked: I hate running but I have been trying to get better at it, but I get this 'needles' feeling in my legs and it hurts so badly, do you know how to get rid of it?

jumpintothefog asked: I want to do lifting training, but since I lost my battle against my mum to go to the gym, I can only workout at home. Any workouts or tips about what I can do to do something similar to lifting at home? All I've got of equipment are a pair of 3.3 lbs dumbells :/

Found out ill have time to hit the gym tomorrow!
Tomorrow i have to babysit and work a double shift at work, so i was going to make it a rest day and suffer through a short butt workout today. But i just found out ill have time to go tomorrow, so I’m making today my “rest” day, even though i ran. Haha :)
I mean my whole body is freaking sore from yesterday. My butt isn’t as sore as i was hoping it would be, so i might...
illgiveyoumysunshine asked: Seeing you on my dash before I got ready to workout was wonderfully encouraging. Thanks!
fueledbyveggies-deactivated2012 asked: Have you ever considered going vegetarian or vegan?
we-are-beast asked: I love your response to bet5h! It's exactly why I lift so I can be tough and take care of myself, I love being able to lift heavier things now rather than going 'guuuyyss, can you help?'

bigtimesugarrush asked: I know people are constantly saying, if you lift, you won't build the same muscle as men, and I get that. I do some weight training at the gym, but the other night I was picking a box of books up and a guy that was with me made a comment about my arm muscles. Like it was "crazy and I'm stronger than him", and it just bothered me. Like I'm not masculine in any way, but I...

Runlog: 12/30/11
2.5 miles in 24:58. My only goal was to run this distance in under 25 minutes. So that meant running at 9 mph at the end because i had to walk earlier in the run due to massive side stitches. Bleck! But i did it! :)
fadingheartlines asked: hey so i lift pretty regularly, but i make sure i can top out at 12-15 reps because everyone says 8-10 is it ok for me to lift 8-10? how many do you do?

Dark Chocolate...
muffintop-less:
Today’s lesson: not all DARK chocolate is good for you don’t believe the hype get your facts straight. There are definitely supplements to invest in before healthy chocolate. But since many of us want to eat chocolate anyway, it’s worthwhile to find the type that will add to our health rather than take from it.

healthylivingforyou asked: I believe someone already asked you something like this but... If you could make posts or a vlog about lifting all those heavy weights with proper form and whatnot... I would love you. More than I already do hahaha

WatchFirst time doing power cleans. I love olympic day.
*So I’ve been watching tutorials on proper form and i now know i need to work on racking up onto my shoulders, while making sure my elbows are up. But i think I did good for my first day! Haha it was my “learning day” where we just practiced on form.
buildingmylegacy asked: WOOP WOOP! welcome to the Olympic lift club!!! sooo fun! I love it!
ivorysatinsashes asked: So I always struggle with keeping good form with dead lifting/squatting, maybe an idea for your next vblog would be showing the proper form for those exercises? (:
runningonwatsons asked: What are some ideas for food I can bring to school for my lunch instead of the disgusting, fatty foods that they happily serve there? I don't have a lot of money to spend but I do have a microwave I could use.
freshman-thinking asked: Hi Becca, just wondering, do you do long distance running or speed intervals? And which do you think is better?
w0lfgirl-deactivated20120314 asked: i really really adore your blog :) thankyou for all the inspiration and positive words <3 also, i hope you had a beautiful holiday !
odolnost asked: I love your tumblr! You are extremely inspiring, you looked really toned in your video as well! ^.^

eatposelove-deactivated20120220 asked: Hi, I love your blog! I was wondering how you started out running and how you built up your endurance? I'm really trying to get into running but I feel like no matter how much I practice, I never improve.
eelainey asked: When you run on the treadmill do you put it on an incline or just run on a flat surface? I only run indoors on a treadmill but will eventually run outside- I'm thinking that if I run on no incline on a treadmill, running outside will be really tough? Thanks! :)
I have a love/hate relationship with foam rolling
