Moving On By Moving Through

What stops a lot of people from moving forward, moving on or moving through something is that they are afraid of what's to come.  The Devil you know is better than the Devil you don't, right?

Brunching

I found this amazing recipe on Thug Kitchen's Instagram feed last week and decided I had to bring it to an upcoming potluck.   (www.thugkitchen.com) Now, full disclosure,  I'm skeptical on vegan sweet dishes because they don't always work out for me but this was a hit! I mean who doesn't like french toast??  And you …

Time + Effort = Results

Shout out to the folks who took me up on the December 3X Challenge!  I'm loving the texts, posts, tags and all of your great sweaty photos.  Extra bonus points to those who send video and/or include pics of their family working out alongside. My boot-camp class is also participating in the December 3X Challenge …
