Happy Workout Wednesday! Today's post is going to be pretty quick, because I'm short on sleep and running (literally) out the door! Thanks to all your comments on my anniversary giveaway post, I heard the call loud and clear for some easy-to-access, free (or cheap),...
Happy Motivation Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. I traveled to Fredricksburg, TX for a friend’s wedding (see my 7 Tips to Enjoy a Healthy Wedding Weekend post from yesterday here!). Now, I’m about to hit the road for another 4-day traveling work week,...
