Fresh eyes on my journal please.
So, I am a working mom trying to make healthy choices. I'm not trying to only eat clean, or spend all my family's money on all organic or anything but I would like to make good choices. I am by no means a fanatic. I have been losing for a while but it's starting to slow down. I'm 61lbs down but I want to lose at least…

Metabolism
