And then there’s lunches. I try to kidnap my husband, Dave, once a week for lunch. That’s a fair … [Read more…]
Psssst. Confession time…all this healthy living stuff can be kind of a drag at times. I try to pump myself up by chanting mantras such as ‘Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels’ or ‘You’re not going to die from running’ (though sometimes I question this).
