Chronicles of Calories Past

Happy Holidays! 

I don’t quite know how to thank you all properly for being the most badass, lovely, inspirational people in existence. I wish I could bake you all batches on batches of peanut butter cookies.

However, to say thank you for following me and brightening my day everyday, I am doing a giveaway of one $50.00 gift certificate to Lululemon.

To enter:

Must be following me.

Must reblog this post.

I will be choosing a winner via random number generator on January 1, 2014. I will ship internationally.

The idea behind this collection of workouts is to maximize your schedule! They all are based on HIIT style intervals where you have 2 minutes of medium exertion exercises, 1 minute of high exertion exercise, and then 30 seconds of a strength building exercise. Whether you’re seriously on the run and only have 10 minutes or want to combine any of these for a longer, custom workout, you can make this plan work for your goals!

The picture on the left is not a “before” photo, not really. It’s a “during” photo, and that only makes me prouder. It shows the great length of this journey I’m on. The bathing suit I’m wearing in said photo was a serious accomplishment for me, it was the same suit I wore as an eleven year old, and I remember the vibrant pride I felt when I could put it on and zip it up. Now? It doesn’t fit. I don’t fit into the same bathing suit that I did when I was eleven. I can’t even describe how fucking good that feels.
