Ten ways to reconnect

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Figleaves.

Get Skinny Saturday: Week 13

By: Stephaniecomment

Just checking in for Get Skinny Saturday.

We have had one of the hardest weeks of our lives, so honestly my weight was the very last thing on my mind.

I weighed in this morning at 179.8.

One pound more than last week.

Actually, I’m surprised it wasn’t more because I pretty much ate my weight in cannolis and Cadbury eggs last night. Stress eating is not the smartest idea. I know.

Now that the weather is better, I think I am going to take up walking (or maybe, dare I say it? running.) outside.

I have been getting a few comments and emails from you about how you are really rocking your weight loss, and I am so proud of you guys!

Rock on.
