Completely Forgot {Get Healthy & Fit}
I have to say that I didn’t do fabulous last week, but I did eat a ton of salads. I have been busy getting ready to go out of town and COMPLETELY forgot to check the scale this morning. I could do it now, but it would be completely worthless and probably show a […] Read more…
Proverbs Prayers {Book Review}

Ugh. {Get Healthy & Fit}
And that’s all I have to say about my healthier habit quest for this get healthy & fit Challenge. Well, not ALL I have to say I guess. The devil was ON ME all week.
