Today was my workout day with Preston, and he came prepared. I do not work out on the days he comes because I know he will put me through some tough paces.

If you know me, you know I am a fighter, and the tougher the challenge, the harder I will fight. A couple of days before Christmas, I faced my toughest! I was hospitalized with a stroke. Not the best time or the type of challenge! But a challenge is a challenge, and I am determinedContinue reading “Getting Better!”
