What do you Mean I lost 4lbs???
A year ago I was down to 180 lbs, now let me tell you all; during every single one of my pregnancies I was over 200lbs, so I was happy at 180lbs but working to get to 140 or 130lbs, or be in a size 12/13 maybe would suffice. At 180lbs I was comfortably wearing [...]
Benefits of Exercising in the Morning
While exercising at all is good for your health, morning exercise has proven to be even more beneficial.

Eating Healthy Can Be Fun
Children are notoriously picky eaters. I am a licensed nutritionist, and even my own son dislikes healthy food. More than once, I have caught Reid slipping his vegetables to Cody, our dog.
