Just a few days left before New Years! A few precious hours to pack in all the bad things you are going to resolve not to do in a few days. Just for old times sake of course. In my experience, those that commit to doing things, and commit to doing them right away get better, faster, more long … [Read more...]
Nothing Tastes as Good as Thin Feels…
The holidays are here and it is time to break out the drawstring pants! Or not... The holiday season is undoubtedly a time for rejoicing.
