The Dancing Fool
Why is it that an epiphany always hits you like a ton of bricks? Never is it the soft caress of a cat against your leg or the light whisper of a summer breeze. No. It’s always a pile of cinder blocks raining down on you from the heavens. I wonder why that is? Today [...]
soLo Carbing: Who Moved My Cheese?

Dedication + Discipline = Diet Success
