If I were to lose two pounds per week for the rest of the ye
So I wrote this list out and its been pretty motivating for me. It's been really good to look at when I am having a bad day, or just want to eat foods that I know do not fit in with my new healthy lifestyle. It also gives me mini goals to aspire towards:happy: It will be so nice to cross off each one! 210 - February 19,…

How sad it would be for your ship to finally come in just a few minutes after you had given up and left the dock. Success is built upon effort and commitment. Success…
