Lifestyle

The alarm sounds, 4.40am!  My feet gingerly hit the floor and I quietly move through the darkness to the bathroom. I shower quickly, apply a full face of makeup, tie my hair in a neat ponytail and wiggle my way into a pair of stockings.  I take a moment to marvel at what’s now my […]

“I hate chin ups, but I want to do them.” she declared. “You’ve got to be super strong” I chirped in remembering the many times I tried. “That’s the added frustration,” she announced. “My trainer says I’ve got the strength now, and I know I’m strong.  What I don’t have is enough aggression.” Oh!
