Time to get the tools to become A Little Obsessed

Time to get the tools for 80 day obsession NOW IS THE TIME to create a new, healthy obsession!!  What does it mean to be obsessed?!?! To be obsessed is to be preoccupied or to fill the mind of someone or something continually.   So is being a little obsessed a good thing or a bad thing?   Personally I think it depends.  If you are obsessed with sweets, lounging 24/7 or negativity, being obsessed can be bad.

I loved the trainer and the workouts. I was sore each day and it felt great!! I lost 5-8 pounds
