75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
It's happening again this year you guys, people are saying fall and even winter are coming. The rational part of me gets that well it is technically true but the immature tries to live in the moment part is all amped up about it. I love summer and truthfully I love that our summers are...

You know what balancing training and life is hard, sometimes really hard. No matter who you are and what you have to do in a week you have to make it a priority to succeed. As much as I would like to be a fitness wife with nothing to do besides workout while someone cleans... Continue Reading →
