It got real in my posing bikini
I recently received my Kristal Bikinis posing bikini and she is a beauty. She also is teeny tiny. I will be wearing her throughout competition prep for check-in photos and videos instead of wearing my competition bikini. The last year or so I wore my suit in each of the photos or a swimsuit. It…
The 2019 Arnold in the books
I can’t believe that it’s been almost two weeks since the 2019 Arnold. It was a whirlwind of a trip from the moment we touched down until we got back on the plane to come back to South Carolina. But I wouldn’t have it any other way because the Arnold allows you to see some…

How often should you weigh yourself?
The scale. I am notoriously famous for stepping on it more than I should. What about you? Do you become obsessed with the scale when you decide it’s time to lose weight? I know you start exercising regularly and embark on a healthy eating plan. But when time comes to check in on your progress,…
Treadmill HIIT to spice up your workout
There’s no reason that a treadmill workout has to be boring. You can spice it up with a HIIT workout so it doesn’t seem monotonous. I am not a fan of running indoors. I am definitely not a fan of the treadmill for long runs. I am all about taking it out to the pavement….
