We are getting back into meal planning at the Simply Fit house and when I was asking the hubby what he wanted he suggested Barbacoa! This isn’t a weekly recipe for us because the beef can get expensive but knowing now how much he loves it and how long the leftovers last I will be […]
You want to know the truth? I’ve known for about 1.5-2 months that I didn’t want to do the Marathon I signed up for….but It took me till 2 weeks ago to actually ‘quit.’ WHY??? Because I didn’t want to let anyone down, I didn’t want to ‘fail’ them or me but honestly, I didn’t […]

1st off I would like to say, I’m not looking for pity. In fact 98% of the time I’m thrilled to not have a big circle of close friends. I give everything to the few I have, if I had more there wouldn’t be enough to go around. That being said I know there are […]
