Ok so I’ve talked about consistency, accountability, patience & persistence and how each have played major roles in my own health and wellness journey.  I thought it was also important to talk about another piece of the puzzle which is moderation.  At this point in my journey, almost exactly a year in, moderation is proving to be a lot harder than I ever could have imagined in the beginning!  I have fallen in love with this lifestyle, with lifting, with getting stronger and I am now at a point where I have to actually tell myself “you need to take a day off” even though most weeks I don’t want to! I know, who woulda thought?!?!  I went from barely exercising at all to being a fitness addict in a very short amount of time!

I realize I probably sound like a bit of a weirdo for what I am…
