30 days and 30 nights

June 29, 2012

*Actually, it was probably 29 nights but that wasn’t as snappy a post title! As the first half of 2012 nears its end, I’m sure you’re wondering how my June 30 day challenge went. Yes? No? Whatever.

A lot of people on my weight-loss program have been RAVING about this week’s lesson from our fearless leader, Michelle Bridges. It didn’t bring me to tears or result in any cathartic light-bulb moments, but there were still a number of things I got out of it, and today’s post is the first of a [...]
