I cannot believe it’s that time again. It seems every year I put off my lab work until I get a few calls from my CPC office. It’s not that it hurts or that the people aren’t nice. Just seems like I get a bit lazy getting it done. But, just four or five of…

BICEPS ARE LIKE ORNAMENTS ON A CHRISTMAS TREE.
I love working out. I have ALWAYS loved working out. I love sweating. And, wearing those super comfy, stretchy yoga pants! And….I really like to think that I can be in the same shape I was in when I was 35. Wait for it. Not…….going……to….happen my friends. The science of it is against us…… But,…
