Unless we’ve just met, you probably know I’ve been a part of the Beachbody (soon to be known as BODi) community since 2002. I can’t even begin to count the number of home workouts programs I’ve completed over the years. I haven’t been sharing publicly about any of the programs or my health/fitness journey lately because[…]
I’ve been feeling a little out of control when it comes to my eating habits. In my experience, this usually means that I need to do a little bit of detox. But rather than follow one of our very regimented detox plans like when we did this 21 day one or our 3 day one,[…]
Well, I guess it’s time to share some news.

Let’s face it, most of us could do with increasing the amount of water we drink. Unless of course you’re one of the lucky ones who actually loves drinking water and doesn’t struggle with this like I do!
