Read more about my reasons and the effects being off social media has had on my life since 2018 on Maggie's blog. While I did feel … Continue reading I LOST 1/4 OF MY BODY WEIGHT IN 9 MONTHS!
This is long overdue. My blog is not active. I'm not on social media to promote myself. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Slacking is an understatement… I’m missing seven posts!!! This will only be 4 out of 19, but today is my third anniversary as a blogger so it’s the perfect day to get back on track. I’ve only hit my goal of going to the gym 4 times a week 3 out of 10 weeks so … Continue reading God’s Will and My Choices: A Relationship
