I haven’t written much on here about my resolution, only because I think it might be a kind of odd or even vein {sort of???} resolution. The whole healthy and super active lifestyle option was out the window since I’m pushing 6 months pregnant. So, I took the make-me-feel-good-while-I’m-getting-fat approach. I chose to keep my [...]
