They are 3 children born in 3 consecutive years. Haley was born in 2004, Ella in 2005, and Ronin in 2006, affectionately […]
Keeping up with fitness and nutrition on the road can easily become a list of excuses. Whether you are traveling for work or vacationing with family, staying fit while traveling is not easy. It takes planning and commitment, but is so doable! Recently I committed to an 80 day program of intense nutrition and workouts six […]
