Finding Radiance

It was so dark this morning when I woke up and the flannel sheets were so comfy. It was really hard to get out of bed this morning! I contemplated either hitting the gym in the evening or going on Friday. Normally, I don’t do this. I just wake up and get up. So, I [...]

Up early and headed out to the gym to get a little more of a workout in. I ended up having a little binge on peanuts and chocolate chips last night and I felt like sweating it out today. I started off with a 1.5 mile jog on the treadmill, then hit the iron. Exercise [...]
