5 shows. 4 suits. 3 seasons. 2 pairs of heels. 1 goal. just be better. Just getting healthy means hours in the gym. As a competitor hours in the gym are strategic and meticulously planned. I've lifted millions of pounds since June 2014. I've also lost 50 pounds. I've consumed more asparagus than any normal… Continue reading This Above All: I Did This

This week I had a few realizations. It's nothing ground breaking and it's something that we all say. It's stuff that I say all the time, but I don't necessarily listen to clearly. happiness is relative. it means something different for everyone. Something I've been struggling with the past few weeks since Connecticut is owning… Continue reading This Above All: Relativity

JP introduced me to Barstool Sports a few years ago when we first started dating. The content they create ranges - widely ranges. However, one thing that has stuck with us is a segment that El Pres does often called The One Bite. As you imagine from the title he takes a bite and does… Continue reading This Above All: Everyone Knows The Rules

I've talked about my own experience with binge eating disorder before. I talked about it in the fall when it was triggered by PTSD. oh there she goes again.

I find a challenge to see what else I can prove. It's not necessarily to prove something to the world, but I guess to prove to myself… Continue reading This Above All: ‘Then,’ said the cat, ‘It doesn’t matter.’

It's been busy over here and I didn't have the urge to write. I think I lost track of time. I think that happens to most of us. We live day to day, but somehow manage to lose days. You wake up fresh and ready, but then the next thing you know the week is… Continue reading This Above All: Smile Every Day, Laugh More Often

This is my last season competing. It was a big decision and to type that out after having said it out loud, makes it seem so much more real. When I talked with JP about it in January and explained it - he understood. When I told friends they understood too. So I'll explain to… Continue reading This Above All: What Happened To Being Excited About Learning The Impossible?

At the end of last week I posted about a giveaway that I'm doing it with Square Organics for Valentine's Day, I'm going to be announcing later today - don't worry. I asked for people to tell me the positive things that they tell themselves whenever they're frustrated. I asked them what are the things that… Continue reading This Above All: We Are the Greatest Loves of Our Lives
