A Short Ode to Rachel

One of my favorite things about Tuesdays is that I get to work with Rachel after PAINE with Wilton. I'm usually exhausted after PAINE, feeling like there is no way I can do anything else I could possibly physically do, yet along comes Rachel explaining some complicated new thing that I will be doing. I'm always constantly amazed at the things I can do when I work with Rachel. I deadlifted 130 pounds. I flipped a gigantic tire and today I was able to take a kettleball and swing it behind my legs switching hands. All these things I never thought I'd do in a million years. And on top of showing me things that I never thought I'd be able to do, she always reminds me to breathe.

In other news I was able to get back into an 18/20 shirt. It was a little tight, but it fit again. Something that hasn't happened in a long while. I'm going to stick to my 22/24 for a little bit longer, but it's good to know that those smaller sizes are on their way.

I also had some headshots taken by the AMAZING Frank Frost. Having headshots taken is something I've wanted to do for a really long time and with a little push from my agent Carissa, we decided to move forward and get them done so she can start sending out my information for work.

Wilton has created the commercial workout. Workouts that you can do during a commercial break. Check it out and you can get trained by Wilton too. Warning: He's good.

I realized today that my journey is along the lines of the 15 week mark. It's amazing to think how much I've done and accomplished in this time. I'm so thankfull (yes with two Ls) to everyone who has stuck with me. I know that every day isn't sunny and I'm sure that some of you have thought, "When is she going to stop complaining?" but thank you for sticking by me through my downs and my ups. We still have many more weeks a head of us and we are still at the beginning of this journey, but it's been a pretty good trip so far.

All the love,
Kristin
