Weekly Recap – 12.1.19 – My B+ Mom Week
This week was pretty nice to me for the most part. I’ve had some on and off sinus issues, which I’m attributing (hopefully) to allergies. I have a lovely tendency to get sick during my tapers, so I am taking all the elderberry and Zicam I can get my hands on. … Read the rest

Weekly Recap 11.3.19 – My Set Back
This week was not good to me. It started off nice and unassuming enough, but by Tuesday everything pretty much went downhill. Reflecting on this week, I am so thankful for health insurance and the fact that I have a relationship with an amazing chiropractor. … Read the rest
20.5 & Why I Said Nope
This was not a particularly great fitness week for me. On Tuesday, I began having what felt like very strong and random back spasms that sent me to urgent care, begging for some form of relief. I hadn’t injured anything, hadn’t pulled anything, and honestly couldn’t pinpoint what was going on, other than all of the muscles in my mid-back were exceptionally displeased. … Read the rest
