FoodSmart and Fit®

Okay.  I admit it, like too many Americans I weigh more than I really should.  Also, like too many Americans I’m not really managing to make significant changes in my weight.  Last summer, I did manage to swim at the town pool quite a bit and I dropped a fair amount of weight, but when fall rolled around, I put the weight back on.  Some of that is probably because I didn’t make any simple long term changes to my…

I’ve spent my life just looking for a place that I belong And no matter what I try to do, something always has gone wrong No one’s taken time to know me and still loved me like you do There’s no one in this world I’ll ever love as much as you Still there’s a shame that’s deep within me I keep…
