As any mortal I come down with flu/cold usually once during the season. Being as it may, my turn has come this year. Stuck at home, sick as a dog. Now, I hate taking regular meds. I still do as Tylenol does help with most symptoms. However, I am always on a look out for... Continue Reading →

Happy New Year everyone!!! As we all know, holidays result in presents, fun, family time and skipped workouts and extra pounds.
