How To Help Your Family Make Healthier Choices
My husband and I have been working hard to make healthier choices together. We both aspire to be healthier so we can keep up with our kids (and the dog!) and ensure that we’re around for years to come.

Despite being a part of the Your Shape Challenge, I have had about 4 weeks in the last 2 months where I couldn’t exercise. First it was asthma induced by a bad case of viral bronchitis. Now it’s something I dubbed “Blogger’s neck,” a sharp shooting pain every time I turn my head to the […]
