Cheeky Monkey antics of a 3 year old

Weight loss or inch loss?
At Tee's Doctor today, I weighed myself with a real weighing machine. Not a wonky one like the one I have at home. My heart skipped a beat at the extra kilos till I pacified myself that perhaps I was building muscle. My jeans.......click to learn what next.

Yoga really helps
