As I stated here we go, a healthier lifestyle for myself is on the rise!! I have recently gained over 65 pounds in a matter of 2 years jumping up 2 pants and shirt sizes, yuck. So I have decided since I am a workaholic, it is best to incorporate my eating right and exercise in to a blog and social media since I am always doing one or the other. It just makes sense.. Wish me luck !!
