SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo! July 22
Hi pebbles, Mopey today. I'm bigger (although I don't feel fatter) in my legs officially and think I need new jeans. It's the peril of muscle mass and really being dedicated to yoga. It's very, very hard to not think bigger=failure. I hate jeans shopping as much as bathing suit shopping (due to the fact that my waist is…

Anyone have any fedback or opinions about the 10 Minute Trainer??…
