I’m back on the healthy train. It’s not that I haven’t been eating healthy but I could have been eating healthier. I’m back to many servings of vegetables throughout the day and water with every meal. No more diet sodas for me. I’ve been in a rut my friends but I’m finding my way back. SinceRead more
