I’m going to share something a little off topic of weight loss, CrossFit, and food. This is about my former career. I used to be a teacher. A junior high English teacher, to be exact. Yes I will judge you on your grammar. Just saying. With all of the excitement going on in the country […]

It is hard dealing with back pain, not being able to breathe from asthma attacks, having headaches and dizziness from high blood pressure. It […]

A day late and a dollar short! So the week of 3/24 was great…until I slipped, fell and hit my head in my own damn kitchen on Thursday evening! That seriously impacted my plans for the rest of the week! Thankfully, I did not have any broken bones or concussion so all is well. Although […]
