To all moms out there trying to get fit for life

Hey Friends, I decided to stop the former streak at Day 142 and I am starting a new one, in this month of May.

As I moved up I saw a cart with carrots and I was thinking I should have bought those instead, but right in my head, I thought "who said losing weight is easy" and the best gift you can give yourself as you lose weight is to tell yourself that 'it is not easy' [just worth
