This past week has been filled with lots of new. First of all, I am adjusting to a new schedule. One that doesn’t include a lot of driving. It was my first full week of not working full-time for Weight Watchers. (If you missed my announcement, read here.) It has been weird and kind of strange and I miss my members, but I would be lying … Continue reading Why was I so afraid?
