If you go solely by Facebook standards, our family is only one that hasn't already decked the halls for Christmas. I mean it's not even DECEMBER and I'm starting to feel the pressure. Speaking of pressure - see how easy it is to pivot- I know the holiday hustle and bustle are the Numero Uno …

Happy Thanksgiving!
In addition to being grateful for my children, husband, family, friends, my cats, a roof over my head, food on the table, and a long list of other things, I'm grateful for you. Years ago I started this blog because I had a strong desire to write about health and fitness. I felt then, …
