Thanks for these! Especially love the article ‘Calories are not a Bank Account’. So true! It’s so easy to get caught up over-thinking things – mindfulness is where it’s at! Hope you’re having a lovely weekend 🙂
Thanks for sharing my post love. I had a good time writing that one and am really kind of excited for the next one. Did I tell you I downloaded the wordpress editorial calendar? Um, I have tons of ideas apparently. Who knew?
I actually read a lot of these links you’ve got going on and really enjoyed them for various reasons. Especially why you shouldn’t always believe the fitness industry. I’m still working on my own spin on that. 🙂
I’m glad you took Friday off and I hope you did something enjoyable.
