I cannot believe that next week I will celebrate my two-year “blogiversary”! Two years in my little corner of the internet. When I started blogging, it was to capture my progress with New Rules of Lifting for Women, and since it has grown into something much more meaningful to me. I no longer use it […]
Growing up, one of my favorite Saturday morning activities was when Dad took over the kitchen and would make breakfast for my mom and us four kids.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving I was doing an extra workout to prep for an upcoming partner competition. The last workout of the day was simple: eight minutes to establish a max weight that the female partner could squat clean, followed by the male partner squat-snatching that same weight. I had never maxed my squat clean […]
Happy Friday! How nice is it for the work week to start on a Thursday and on and Friday? I think this should be a new thing. You know what I missed most during my little blogging hiatus? You guys! I love reading the lady lifting spotlights that I receive and hope that you do, too, […]

Happy New Year! I am more than excited to be coming back off a not-so-scheduled holiday hiatus, but I am itching to write again, but first wanted to check in to take a quick minute to talk about where I think a lot of people fail in their attempts to make resolutions. Did you write […]
