For my last post of 2018 I wanted to share my New Years goals with you. One, to help motivate you to set your own goals and two, to help hold myself accountable for my own goals. So first let's chat about why it's important to set goals each year. To me, goal setting has always been a practice that I've done. I set small short term goals as well as long term goals. The small goals, as I achieve them, keep me motivated to continue pushing towards my long term goals that will take more time and hard work to achieve. Not saying that my ... Read more...

Honest BBG 1.0 Review and Comparison Photos

If you recall, I had wrist surgery towards the beginning of summer. I had waited long enough hoping it would heal on it's own. I had adjusted my workouts but over time my wrist couldn't handle even the minimal amount of weight and pressure I was putting on it.

As you might remember, I had wrist surgery this summer. Recovery from that took longer than I thought it would and ... Read more...
