Shes gonna be 4 tomorrow and I am not there yet but I'd actually be willing to be in a birthday photo this year. Maybe by the time she turns 5 I…

Sigh
Accepted a FR against my better judgement. Thought it will be fine then looked at a diary of someone aiming to come in under 1000 calories a day and promptly deleted. That was short lived. So I have updated my profile and it may well offend but I have decided I have no space in my online life for people who are going to be…

Gave every single exercise a go even though I couldnt do the pull ups, had to use a…
