I got asked this question today and I know many people must think it, but are too shy to ask. Why weight loss now? What’s different this time? If you’re going through a weight loss journey right now, have you asked yourself this? Can you answer it concisely? If not, there may be a problem. [...]

Goals: 101 Things

05.25.2010

The desire to put together a list of things has been stirring in me for some time. I love lists. I love crossing things off lists. Talk about SATISFACTION. Local photographer Shaun Ring posted something on his blog that made me take action. Here is his description: The mother of all lists is the 101 [...]
