House of Lloyd

Lately I don’t like to look at myself in the mirror. All I see is the extra weight I have gained and the gray hairs I have grown. (more…)

At the start of the year David and I made big changes to how we eat. I blogged about it a few days ago (here).  I will admit that at first it was hard to stick to the changes. However, we did stick to our plan and I am happy we did. (more…)

This is the quote that will be my fitness motivation during the month of February. I have placed it on my computer monitor so I will see it daily while at work.  I have never thought about a fitness plan being like a marriage.
