On The Move Again
With having recently lost almost 30 pounds I don't want to gain it all back. So I have broke out the fitbit, and I will be using it daily to make sure I am moving more.

We will be going in to get them done, I am only hoping we get enough back to pay the car off. That would be awesome!!! Paying the car off means I will be able to enjoy some much needed time away from the computer and more time with my family! A large part of our time is spent working on the computer. We need to reverse those roles, and spend a large part of our time off the computer. Since winter has been here I have gained about 15 pounds, and I am already big, so this needs to be tackled and soon. When we were in … [Read more...]
