Well, well, well…..I’m BACK!! It’s been quite a while since I blogged but I have good reason….over 54 good reasons!!  I have been spending a little (okay A LOT) less time online and a whole lot more time out and about at the gym, taking bike rides, walking, walking and more walking…..and I can proudly [...]

I am so excited to get this book in the mail this week because I have heard nothing but great things about it from so many people over on the Jenny Craig website!  I asked Mike if we could pick it up and he agreed of course but when we checked out Chapters we learned [...]
