I'm a stubborn person. When ppl said "freshman 15" as I left for college, I decided I would NOT be a statistic and began to be unhealthy. When I saw that a lot of ppl fall into the "I'm married now" weight gain we decided that we would NOT fall into that either. I still for the life of me can't figure out why ppl gain when they get married (you don't just "let yourself go") but it really does happen. As I am not pregnant and have no babies, I have no excuse for my body to not be in it's ideal weight*.
*I refer to ideal weight not as a perfect number but at the weight where I feel the healthiest and strongest. When I do not feel like I'm carrying much excess and I can physically do all the things I want to do.
As I've been looking for some exercises to spice up my weight training/yoga routine I see some music playlists for exercising. But the music either a) sucked or b) was something I've never heard of - making it very unlikely that I would actually take the time to download and listen to all those songs.
