I know this is a little overdue in posting, but I wanted to share with you guys some of my 2014 “promises” and what I’m doing now.
I’m ready to get back to competition this year, I want to dance more, explore new horizons, get a bit more out of my shell; it’s the revival of KRISTINA!
On the gym front, I have returned to powerlifting. I want to compete in June and break some more records, so I am training with ...

Last night I got plenty of food and plenty of sleep. Not to mention these past few weeks I’ve been hitting it hard, strength-wise. Thusly (I just wanted to say thusly), my workout at the gym was pretty awesome. Nothing special, just getting good numbers in, with plenty of energy and not trying too hard.

I just had my birthday and I wanted to get in some special activities to celebrate.
Saturday I wanted to do something different but I’ve already done sky diving, bungee jumping, all that stuff…so my brilliant client suggested flying trapeze! And so it was set.

I was chatting with a client the other day, and discovered (gleefully) that he was into reading blogs! I had no idea. Anyway, his blogs of interest included those focused on technology, UI design, entrepreneurialism, and a quick hint of cuddly animals. I asked him if he read any health/fitness/nutrition blogs, and he said no. Partly because it can be hard for the non-trainer to know what information out there is quality, or BS! So, in his honor, I want ...
