It's almost the new year, and I keep hearing people say how the year flew by. Well friends, this year did not fly by for me. I think I would have preferred that. For me, it was a year of rebuilding my fitness. It was a year of new challenges and learning to work with...

The Return of the Blog

I realize the last time I wrote an update here was February 2020. Yikes. I was all guns blazing heading into my bikini competition prep. But, we all know what happened the very next month. The C word: Covid. I tried so hard to stick with the training. Truly. I worked...
