I am about to write a post about weight loss. But it’s not the post you expect. I am not on a diet, and I am not trying to be thin. When I rounded and softened while carrying my children in my belly, I wore it like a badge of honour: I had carried and [...]

In the last little while two new fitness studios opened in town. Barre Fitness and the Bar Method.
