Going from 8XL to Size Large

Thinking about weightloss? Prepare yourself for one of the biggest expenses (don’t worry, it is an expense but it is totally worth it and motivational in itself).

I cannot hide the fact that I am an IT guru! I simply love technology! and YES! of course I do have a smartwatch to track my workouts and heartbeat rate! But is it worth it to have a smartwatch? Do you really need one? The simple answer is NO; you do not need to…

Meal Prep
