At the beginning of this year, I decided that the word “love” would be my mantra. It would be the word to which I would give all my focus. I would strive to practice it and show it to all in my path.

But, love actually found me where I least expected.

I have issues. I am extremely competitive and always bite off more than I can chew.

Now this typically bodes well for me when it comes to working out. I would love to say that I compete with myself, to be a better me and work harder than yesterday, but that would not be true.
