What if I don't like the "new" me?
I know, ridiculous question, right? But really - the more I try, the more I learn, the more I realize that to reach my goals (physical and otherwise), I'm going to have to make significant changes. But the more I look at the changes to be made, the more scared I get that I won't like who I change into. I admit, I am ALWAYS…

How to combat inertia?
So, I'm curious if anyone else has this mental block: I love being active, but hate transitioning from sedentary behavior (playing video games, sleeping, watching movies) into active things I love (biking, sports, even weight lifting).
