Me in a Michael Kors top. The pleasure at how this fit, and the boost this gave my motivation, was well-worth the splurge! Well, it was a week with another gain. But I’m not letting it get me down because sometimes, it’s all about the non-scale victories! This week, this was my victory: These may just look like …

I’m trying new-old things with my hair. Finding that scrunching it is a good look for me with the shape of my face right now! It’s been an exciting week for me – I have added a new layer to my weight loss efforts! Exercise! A couple weeks ago, I told you it was my …
