Baby Steps
I’ve been watching a little television (I’m home this week), and it’s amazing how many ads there are for diets and exercise equipment. Of course, each offers more amazing results than the last.
I’m not saying that these don’t work. It’s probably just the opposite, really. I bet most of them work, if you stick to [...]
Second Helpings, Anyone?
