Weight a Minute! No Secret Ingredient

Caution: This blog contains movie spoilers. But it’s all for a good cause. Last week, I blogged about “Kung Fu Panda” and the lessons I learned from Po, the cute, overweight star of the show.

I have no weight gain or loss to report to you. I’ve decided not to get on the scale until after boutique season is over for me – my gain after the last boutique was disheartening and I’ve decided to simply do the best I can and not worry too much about it until the beginning of December. Therefore, I have nothing to say. What I’d like to share instead are some things I’ve found to be very true about working out. The way you dress makes all the difference. 1. Wear thick enough socks. I have several pairs of … Continue reading →
