Is it too early to talk about 2014 goals?

Dimples??
Guess what I saw when I looked in the mirror this morning? Dimples!! NO, not the ones in my butt. Dimples, real divets, in my face! I have spent so many years with apple cheeks (aka, swolen, fat face with three chins) that I had forgotten that I had small dimples in my cheeks. Fourteen pounds down, and dimples are starting…
