This has been the biggest roller coaster I've ever been on. My mind and soul are strong, but my body didn't get the memo... ...3 surgeries, chronic myofascial pain or Fibromyalgia (my doc isn’t “sure”) and the chance of another surgery on the horizon. Of course my mind doesn't always stick to the plan and the demons creep in. They take a while to exorcise, but beaten and broken, #Always keep fighting. It's not a matter of I won't stop, but more I Can't Stop.

This is my year.

I could say it's because it's a great stress reliever. I could say because it's the only time I really get to spend on myself. And they are both true. But really, it's because I love feeling like a hard*ss strong chick when I'm covered in sweat and sore after hauling iron.
