Week One – Re-Charge
Time to get serious about being happy! With a very self indulgent weekend behind me, (consisting of comfort food that made me feel sick, bloated and spiked my blood sugar, not leaving the apartment for two days, not cleaning up after myself and definitely not exercising AT ALL) it's time to kick start my three … Continue reading Week One – Re-Charge

Ok it wasn't this bad but … Continue reading Tears Aren’t Always Healthy Follow Up
