The results are in and they are remarkable. My fitness buddy, Amy, and I took the Beachbody Insanity® Workout challenge. I’m proud to say we finished in one piece. For those of you who don’t know, the Insanity Workout is the most intense workout system currently on the market. Which is what caught your interest in the first place. This highly intense system is designed to get you real results real fast—but (like everything else) you have to put forth the effort.

In honor (and reflection) of my career and passion as a public relations/communications professional, I bring you 14 honest truths of a PR gal working in Janesville. This is a repeat post from my blog at http://GazetteXtra.com. I received so much feedback on Friday and through the weekend, that I found it only appropriate to share with you. Enjoy!

I spend more time on my iPhone than I do of my family.

Underestimate the power of backing-up work.

My fingers are sometimes ink-stained from paging through clippings (yes, I still clip.)

Blogging has become just as important as eating.

I am frequently asked if I know all of my friends on Facebook, and, for the most part, I can honestly say that I do.

I ask my boyfriend to “send me a meeting planner” when talking about weekend plans.

I evaluate TV ads and fantasize about meeting the creative director of the ETrade commercials.

I freak out when I don’t have access to the Internet.

I proofread my Facebook updates.

Twitter is my main source for breaking news.

I have disclaimers on all of my personal and professional social media sites.

My phone (and computer) constantly locks up because the memory is dedicated to the hundreds of social networking apps running.

I have so many usernames and passwords that I lose track.

I get excited about participating in alpha and beta testing of any new application or software service.

These are brutal, I know. Truth is, it felt great to put it out there like this. Many of you are in the same boat. What would you add? Join the conversation!
