Hey guys, so it’s been a while (again) – the new year suddenly threw some curve balls my way, but one thing has not changed: Still fighting to be fit! I am training as usual, and although I had to take a break last month w/my coach because of financial issues, I am slowly working [...]

New Routine
As the new year is chugging along, I thought I would share my new routine with you guys. This was developed by my new coach, which is quite different from the one I had before my show. Not as intense, however I’m easing back into things and I also believe that your workout is as [...]

Back to work
So a week has passed and my body has had time to relax a bit. I have in fact felt tired – after all, the weeks leading up to my show was nuts, and I went through major changes in my body, schedule and life in general while adapting to my new “upped” workout regimen. [...]
