I've worked out intermittently throughout my adult life but something (work, family, school, hobbies, injuries) always seem to get in the way eventually. I've had numerous lapses that resulted in weight gain and unhealthy habits. This is the year that changes! Next year this time, I want to be able to say "January 2016 is when it became a permanent part of who I am and my life has not been the same!"

It feels incredible! I feel stronger, more energized, and my motivation for eating right is higher when I include strength training than when I do cardio only.
