In a rut!!!
well I had lost about 60 pounds in the last couple years but I got lost somewhere and gained about 25 pounds back. It’s just too convenient to eat out or reach for a snack. I really need to get back in the mindset of where I was when I lost all that weight. I was exercising 30 to 60 mins per day. Mostly treadmill but also…
