Great bodies are definitely made in the kitchen! Also, remember that a diet that is too restrictive is not sustainable and will not help you keep any weight off that you lose. The trick is to plan ahead (carry healthy snacks with you) and find (or modify) healthy meals that you enjoy almost as much as pizza and pancakes!AshleyFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01824467746139351196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285759007375137935.post-66166635484136044132011-09-13T11:38:20.274-07:002011-09-13T11:38:20.274-07:00You will do this!!
