Read More Transform Your Life Project: Week 10I am happy to say that I fully embraced taking some time off from working out.

Read More Cravings To CurbMy theme and focus for this year is: “Transform Your Life.” Another theme that goes along with this that has been resonating with me a lot lately is the practice of being Completely Honest with myself.
