Get Ready for 100 Pound Loser!

I want to tell you about an ebook coming out on January 1st.  I wage it will motivate you to lose those extra pounds.  My confidence is based on the author, Jessica Heights.  (Her name alone has a confident and famous ring to it, doesn’t it?). Jessica is the author of the blog, Muthering Heights.  She is also a bloggy friend that I hold dear.  We share a quirky introvert thing.

Confessions of a Fitness Blogger

Some days, I just don’t want to get out of bed. Some days, I just don’t know what to sit down and write when I pull up the screen. I have a confession to make, for someone who writes about fitness, enjoys fitness and works out regularly; I’ve been struggling for months to maintain my motivation, stay alert and just stay focused.

That being said, I think that after … Continue reading →
