week 1 of TWD 12 week challenge

21:12:00 Kikoprincess 0 Comments

I weighed in shockingly at the obese range for my height and ethnic group. I guess that is not the best way to look after the body God has given me. So the aim I guess isn't necessarily to lose weight but to be more mindful of the way I am looking after my body, it's going to be an extra challenge because I will be overseas on two occasions during the challenge.

Don't wish me luck, pray for my persistence.
