Small healthier changes: running and smoothies
I hope you are well. This blog post is about trying healthier things. I am no expert. I just want to feel fitter and yes I want to fit into my old clothes. This isn’t about fat-shaming or skinny-shaming. I won’t ever be skinny again and that’s okay. As someone who hits forty this year […]
