The Buddy System
I did Weight Watchers in college and it didn’t work too well for me because it was hard for me to “buy into” the meetings since I felt out of place with the leaders other members, who were more like my mom than friends. But, I did always love that you had to go to a meeting and get weighed…

No Glove No Love
The other day (after I wore my Poor Girl’s Gloves) Ben surprised me with a pair of Nike running gloves! My hands were very happy and I’ve been wearing them for every run since I got them! They have a key pocket on the inside of each hand, but it is facing down. So, if you use it and put…
