Enjoy The Journey!

Happy New Year! I love this time of year, people are excited to be in the gym! And since that is where I spend most of my days I am really glad you are there too. It’s nice to have company!  Every year at PURENERGY we put up a white board for the month of January at the front desk so people can write down their goals for the year. I love seeing everyone’s plans and I enjoy the experience of writing my own goals down. The board hangs on the wall with the previous years and it’s a great reminder to yourself each day of your promise and goal in the coming year.

Our plan was to drive down the day before and ride it on a Saturday. The date was set for early spring when there was a chance of beautiful weather or potentially blizzard conditions. We crossed our fingers and watched the weather as the date drew near.  Saturday morning we woke up to blue skies and a high of 50 in the forecast. Though it was 28 when we started, we were stoked f...

Fall has not officially transitioned into winter yet, but it’s starting to feel like it with the new year just around the corner . As we think back over this fall and all that we hoped to accomplish, getting a large deer or elk was on many to - do lists ( especially here in Wyoming ). Now that the major hunting seasons are winding down, it’s time to take advantage of all the wild game meat you stocked up on . Props to you for finding the most all - natural, organic, free - range meat available ! Let’s take a closer look at game meat, specifically venison, and the nutritional benefits we can find with it . This is a limited list, but provides us with a fair comparison to beef.
