90 day abs...fire!


Let's go! stop talking about it and make it happen. For those who have been on the journey with me, let's make it a little more challenging. I'm increasing my weight from 15 to 17.5. Don't be a baby...work it!

3 miles a day run to start and take it to the head! 

Eat clean and drink plenty of water. Don't let the holiday put you out to pasture. Summer bodies are made in the winter.
