It’s The Diet, I Promise!

The other day, I received a compliment from a kind, elderly gentleman.  He approached me and asked what I did in order to achieve good muscle tone on my arms. “Yoga?”, he asked?  I told him that while I do enjoy yoga, it’s actually something I’m just now getting back into, for no other reason […]
