i got really serious and recommitted to my health at the beginning of january. i don’t know why i just gave up in 2015, but i did. i let myself go. when i would vent or express concern over it, most people said, “i can’t even tell you’ve gained 20 pounds!” but i could. and… Continue reading 2016 health goals update
