Control The Controllable
In New York State, we have been “sheltered-in” for over a month. Today is day 34 to be exact. Some of us have been staying home longer than that. In a town less than a 10 minute drive from where I live, there is an area labelled as a HOT ZONE, and those folks have […]

Progress Not Perfection
One of the recurring undertones in my profession, both with my in-person clients at the gym as well as my contest prep clients, is the desire to see results faster. People… please! If there is anyone that understands this, it is me. A woman that has been on top of the mountain and had her […]

Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding doesn’t define me, but it most certainly is a very big part of who I am as a woman, an athlete, an entrepreneur, a fighter, a hustler, a survivor. The path I have walked my entire life is one that is paved with very difficult challenges which I had to work hard to conquer… […]

Bodybuilders Need Patience
It is so disturbing as a veteran in the Bodybuilding world, to see so many people searching for instant gratification and shortcuts to success in competing. I hate to tell you, but if your body lacks muscle maturity, density, or size, there is no shortcut to develop that. Of course there are things people turn […]

All or Nothing
That is my personality… it is my way. I loathe mediocrity and laziness. That doesn’t mean I demand 100% uptime all day and night. Everyone needs down time, of course. But when I venture into something new, I dive right in and do a lot of homework. Yoga is my latest addition, and I must […]

Yoga – The Beginning
2015 started out with some interesting twists and turns pertaining to my health. I managed to keep things under wraps for the most part and only shared what I was going through with a handful of friends, clients and family. Rather than get into all of the details, I will just say that the worst […]
