The Holy Grail of Body Transformation

March 5, 2010

This is is a bit off-topic since I haven’t written about fitness in a long time. I chose to try to do things in moderation – eat clean and exercise regularly. But…well…I’m a girl and summer’s coming…and bikinis and um…it’s time to get moving!

I raced home today to be in front of the telly for Oprah’s show on the Weight Loss Secrets of the Biggest Losers. Did you see it? No astounding secrets – eat right, train hard and get your mind straight – but it was an interesting show nonetheless.
