I wanted to also integrate some of what I'd learned along the way into this post, so hopefully the wait was worth it.

Read MoreHola! Hope everyone is all settled into their groove in 2014 by now. Say what, it's FEBRUARY already?! Oo er, where did the time go? As always in January, friends joke that they avoid the gym as it tends to be packed with people who are on their "new year's resolution" kick to get fit.
