Ok, so this is a very uncomfortable post for us, but something we knew we had to do. Not just for us, but for many others who have been going through some very trying times, and may need a little encouragement to pick yourself up, adjust your "No Excuses" attitude, and get back to living the best "Fit Life" you deserve!!!
So....as some know, but most do not, we have had a rough last couple of years. Even though we are a very outgoing couple, we are still a very private couple when it comes to our personal lives. We were about a year and a half into our dream of reinventing the Fit Life Brand. We had gotten our Fit Life Gym opened, refreshed our Fit Life clothing line, finally got our NO EXCUSES supplement line off the ground, were traveling the country setting up our vendor booth and BOOM!! Bad news hit us right in the face!!
After a routine yearly checkup, we get the call nobody wants to get..."Jenny, we need you to come back for some more tests. We think we may see a spot on your breast we need to examine closer." And sure enough, it was breast cancer. So of course, we did what we had to do. Put most of everything on hold, and jumped right into getting this under control. And thanks to the Grace of God, lots of prayers, and wonderful doctors that moved quickly, the immediate threat was handled!! NO CANCER!! Not going to go into all the specifics here, but of course we are on the usual 5 year cancer check up plan. There have been a few other little scares and struggles along the way, but come January 1st of 2026, we decided it was time to hold our heads back up and to once again practice what we preach about "NO EXCUSES" and living the "Fit Life" inside and out!! And what better way to do that than to pull out our favorite book by Andy Frisella and kick off the New Year with the amazing 75 Hard program!! Now as the name says, it is HARD, and may not be for everyone, but we urge everyone to give it shot. Because this is not just a workout program, this is for those that truly want to strive for personal excellence, mental and physical, inside and out!!
AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED!!
We knew if we were going to get back in the saddle 100% we needed to be setting the example first and foremost. Our calling has always been to love others and help others in the fitness industry. So what better way to that but to put ourselves out there and show you all, if we can do it, so can you!!!
"NO EXCUSES!!"
Now with all that said, we know there are others out there that have had much worse pain and suffering than we have had. We just wanted to share our personal journey and experiences with those who may need to hear it to get back up out there and get on with the best Fit Life you can live!!! Remember, we are always here for anyone that needs us!!
Here are our results, this is just the beginning!!
