100 Push Ups Per Day! – Week 1 [One Month Challenge]
I’m no longer in the most immaculate shape of my life. I was at one point. Second semester of Freshman year I was in that frickin’ gym 4 times a week, sometimes 5. Now, years later, I have a job — 3 jobs in fact — and I’ve got bills to pay, and an apartment to not get kicked out of, and what’s one of the first things that went by the wayside as I entered adulthood? Gym membership!

10 Mistakes You’re Making at the Gym
Like most people, I have a love/hate relationship with the gym. In fact, our flame is so hot and cold that I sometimes I stare at the door the entire time I’m working out, counting down the minutes ’til it’s time to leave. There are, of course, other days where I am so excited to go to the gym its like okay, who put the steroids in my coffee?

Need: Nike + FuelBand
Okay, I’m not usually one for seemingly unnecessary workout accessories. I’m perfectly fine with my yoga mat and iPod Nano. I bought into the Power Balance band thing last year, and while it did kind of work it was definitely more of a placebo effect than anything else.
Getting Fit Has Never Been So Sweet
Here at CollegeCandy, we like to think we’re experts in a few key areas: budget fashion, sex, ~~budget sex~~ and college fitness.

CollegeCandy Investigates: Does Slim Fast Work?
I have always been a fan of any quick fix diet plan. If there was a pill that would melt away pounds within a day, I would be first in line to buy it. So when I was perusing the web one day and happened upon the Slim Fast website, I saw an opportunity and ran with it. After all it has ‘fast’ and ‘slim’ in the name, so how bad could it be?

I always have a difficult time staying motivated about working out. The problem is, I’m lazy, so the hardest part is actually just getting out of bed early or getting my butt off the sofa to drive to the gym and work out. Since I have a hard time dragging myself to the gym, I’m trying to stay in shape by running around my neighborhood. I still don’t do that as often as I should, but it works for me, since it doesn’t require me to go anywhere except out my front door.

One Month Challenge: Gymvember, Week Four
After dealing with the turmoil of a breakup, the impending holiday season, the bitter cold and the death of my beloved aunt, the only thing getting me through were my workouts. That’s right, while the rest of the world was going for pumpkin pie, I was skipping dessert and smashing up the elliptical.
One Month Challenge: Gymvember, Week 3
So, just wanted to let you guys know that this stupid One Month Challenge is officially cursed. When my sister gave up her penchant for junk food for a month, her and her bf broke up. Fast forward 2 challenges later, I broke up with my boyfriend, who was living with me and my roommate.
