Life happens in the small moments…enjoy and learn from them.
Well, I am finally going to step away from my computer for a day this weekend to just relax, fish, play some golf with Doug, and enjoy the summer. Never fear, I will be back working on Sunday (some on my WP plugin). Until then…. [tags]golf, Doug Blatti[/tags]

Well, it has been ten days now since I first started watching what I eat/how much I exercise, etc and I am happy to say I have lost a few pounds. I am not looking for the “quick fix” or the miracle diet…as I know moderation is key. What I have found out about using […]
