A new year always comes with new goals, hopes and dreams. For many of us, that will be eating healthier and joining a gym. I know my membership will get more use. 🙂

For me, the hard part about the gym is not feeling confident in my skin. You’re surrounded by people who stuck with their 2015 resolution and can already run that dreaded mile.
