In which I tell the truth
Mom: Now between you and me, are you exaggerating on the blog? Or do you seriously eat that much Yogurtland?
Me: I seriously eat that much Yogurtland.
Truth be told, I actually looked into it and it only cost $350,000 to franchise a Yogurtland. Dad, care to make an investment?!

In keeping with my theme of not sticking to workouts, today I decided that I want to try Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred, and then before I knew it this happened:
