The last two weeks have been great getting back into a healthy lifestyle, and it's amazing what only 3lbs lighter feels on my body. I can't believe how much better I feel in such a short amount of time. (I haven't made any resolutions for the new year, I just was taking the lead of an older sister who's b-day present to herself was loosing 10lbs...So I thought I'd do the same for myself w/ a b-day in April.)

WELL. Then this came along, and I didn't think there could be a better way to achieve my goal! And here she be, in case you want to make a few worthy changes as well! (Starting today, for the duration of 12 weeks) but hopefully by then they will ALL become a part of my lifestyle...truly HABITS)
