Reaching Your Goals (and Staying Focused)
Me with my girls. My little guy was elsewhere. How was your January? Mine was mostly good. I hope yours was, too! The main intention I set at the beginning of January that is obviously connected to shedding excess weight was to walk 4 days each week. It was difficult some weeks, but I did accomplish my goal!
