Okay, so we didn’t ACTUALLY buy a whole farm, but we bought a share in it! Since Mark and I have been trying to eat more veggies lately (thanks RP), and we would prefer to support local agriculture, we did some research and found a local farm that offers a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program!… Continue reading We Bought a Farm!!
Guys, I’m frustrated this week. I have been SO GOOD and the scale is not moving. I even went to a BBQ where they were serving pulled pork AND sausage and peppers (two of my favorite dishes) and I resisted, eating only from the containers of chicken breast, veggies, and rice topped with hot sauce… Continue reading 5 Dieting Essentials to Drastically Improve your Meal Preparation

It was crisp and cool, and made me crave all fall things!… Continue reading Weekly Workouts 8/3-8/9, 8/10-8/16
Hi everyone! I know these are delayed, I am still working on catching up with posting the workouts from the past few weeks on here. The reason I’m backing up to July is because I wanted to capture the whole training process between my last strongman show and the next upcoming one. I wanted to… Continue reading Proper Hydration and Workouts 7/27/15-8/2/15
Since my brief stint in Bodybuilding in 2014, I have been in the habit of tracking my workouts and meals. After competing, I fell off the bandwagon for a few months because I found it to be too stressful. One of my goals for 2015 was to keep a log of both my meals and… Continue reading Workouts 7/20-7/25
