I am entering week 10 of taking care of myself. My body is not only changing, but so is my level of fitness. There are a few things I do to help myself stay on track. I weigh myself to monitor change. I take pictures to remind myself of where I started and where I […]

Week Seven
I usually write my fitness/weight loss updates/new-and-healthier lifestyle posts on Mondays, but yesterday was Memorial Day and a lot of people were having parties and going off the rails or falling off the wagon and having a treat/cheat/whatever day, so I saved it for today.
