I have lost 100 pounds twice. I accept congratulations when I tell people this, but what I don’t tell them is I had three closets brimming with clothes due to my size ranges. Recently I lost 45 pounds of baby weight from the toddler, but this time I was prepared and saved a ton of…

Read MoreI’m late. You guys probably thought I’d forgotten about you. “She hasn’t posted the challenge! I don’t know what to clean! I want to wiiiiin!” I promise that isn’t the case. This question probably doesn’t even need to be asked, but have you ever had one of those weeks that makes you wish you could…
