Finding Joy in the Journey
First of all, I want to take a minute to thank all of you. When I started this blog, I had no idea what was in store. I saw it as a way to share my journey and to maybe keep a few friends and family members in the loop with what was happening. I... Continue Reading →
Following in my theme of finding ways to fit fitness in regardless of your schedule or location, I have an exciting program to share with you! Here's the thing. I know what it's like to search online for workouts, hoping that you're doing them correctly or that you'll see the results you're hoping for. I... Continue Reading →
After a few experiences this weekend, I wanted to step back from the standard workout posts and to make a brief note about form. Here's the thing: the Internet is FILLED with great workout ideas.

For those of you who have been following for some time - or who know me personally - you know that this past year has been a little different than I planned.
