Hello all! As I'm writing this, it's sleeting on top of the sleet that already fell yesterday. Yuck! This means I will be staying warm and cozy indoors and safe from the chaotic weather outdoors. I just finished up a great shoulder workout and I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow! I have a tendency to overdue it at times...

So, here goes the rant. Bear with me here. A few people I know personally have commented on the site and the somewhat "risque" images the site contains. My friends viewed the site and their first impressions on it was that it seemed like a soft porn site to them, and as I'm sure you all know, first impressions are huge. I just want to say that I in no way condone ANY pornographic material on this site. Now, don't get me wrong, I love being a part of the site. However, there are a few pictures on the site that do not depict athletic, fit women. They are simply pictures of skinny chicks that are only slightly covered. Because of this fact, I have been hesitant to show my family members the site that I am a part of. You have no idea how much I want to brag about being a part of this, but because of the content I must hold back my enthusiasm. I am a faithful Christian and do not believe that this type of material need to be a part of a site built on the premise of amateur fitness enthusiasts. I believe in the value of professionalism, and these suggestive images do not convey what I deem as worthy of this site. I'm sure I'm going to get burned for this, but I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did not at least pour my heart out here about my feelings on what I feel is a very important issue. Additionally, for the women that took these photos, I wish that they would value themselves as proud women showing off their muscular physique, not in these provocative poses that suggest something else entirely. You are worth so much more than that!!! Now, I completely understand that sex sells, but there's something to be said for doing things the right way as well. Again, I'd love to hear any comments on this issue. Please, please respond if you agree or even if you disagree with me. All comments would be greatly appreciated :)

That's all I've got for today. Stay tuned!
