Sometimes the things you'd never even thought of really help

So this is just a list of those for me.
A fitness website....hahahahahaha!  But so true do not know what I'd do with www.myfitnesspal.com
Working out...ok you can laugh really hard at this one, gives me more energy and helps burn the fat away that is already there, I was always one of those people who thought there were people out there who just had random success and that working out really wasn't for me! Boy was I wrong, and know I get to give people the answer that I never wanted when I was looking for weight loss success, I work out and eat right!
Something else I know that works that I have fallen away from but restarted today, meal planning and meal preparedness!  I will post our menu for the week later including something new pictures!
