10 Fun Facts About Coach RJ

Welcome everyone to the Fab and Fit with RJ Blog. To kick things off I wanted to share a few personal things about me so you can get to know me better.

1. I Am a #crazycatlady and I Am Proud of It

No shame in the crazy cat lady game. I have one fabulous kitty named Dolce. Which y’all will see plenty of. He is a fluffy big boy; fyi he doesn’t like to be called fat. He runs the house as I am here just to serve him. I had another precious kitty, Gabbana, but he lost his fight with cancer and now he is watching down over us. I also claim all my friends and family cats as mine, cats I follow on social media and really any cat I see anywhere.

2. I Grew Up in Minnesota but Claim Texas as My Forever Home

We will keep this simple. Texas is the best, period. I do miss the fall in Minnesota, but I do not miss winter, ever. I left Texas once for a fabulous opportunity to work for Cabela’s, but I got my ass back to Texas as fast as I could. Texas isn’t just a place it is a state of mind and a lifestyle.

3. I Basically Only Listen to Country Music

There’s just something about a country music that just brings me so much happiness and peace. We will end this argument right now… the best country music of all time happened during the 90’s. Overall, everything was just so good. Now don’t get me wrong I LOVE me some Luke Bryan, Carries Underwood, Jason Aldean, and Carly Pearce. But the 90’s was just something else. And yes, I run and workout to country music, I get asked this all the time, I don’t get why this is strange.

4. I Was Bestowed the Honor of Miss Congeniality in 2012

In 2012 I ran for Miss Texas International. I had dreamed of winning a pageant and representing the great state of Texas. I did not take home the crown or the title of Miss Texas, but I got something that in the end matter even more to me. My fellow sisters voted for me to be Miss Congeniality that year. I had my Sandra Bullock moment and the first thing I thought was where can I put my gun in this dress.

5. I Drive a Lifted Ford F150 FX4 Truck

You know the saying… “silly boys’ trucks are for girls!” I love my truck more than I probably should. His name is Bushwacker. We get horrible gas millage, but we look like a badass while doing it. This truck is my dream vehicle, and I am blessed to have it.

6. I Am Part of the 1% That Has Ran a Marathon

If you didn’t know the stat less than 1% of American adults will ever run a marathon. Why? Because it is fucking crazy! I admit I am insane for doing it. I wouldn’t trade the whole experience for anything but y’all running 26.1 miles is just plain stupid. LOL. I can say this because I did it. But to tell you the truth I will probably end up doing it again. Which proved how crazy I am.

7. I Eat Chick-fil-A Every Friday

Yes, you read that right. Every Friday like clockwork I am at my local Chick-fil-A ordering the same meal every time. A deluxe spicy chicken sandwich with waffles fries and chick-fil-a sauce and a small cup of ice cream. I like to think eating my Chick-fil-A will forgive my sins from the week, because you know the food is #preblessed! I would also like to share I was able to hit one of my personal goals of becoming red status. If you know, you know.

8. My Favorite Color is Pink

9. My Favorite Print is Cheetah
