I look like one of those rap guys girlfriend FO SHO. I’m telling you though girl, the Citizens are the way to go. Treat yourself as a reward for all your hard work in the diet department – totally worth it, and you deserve it.
Oh, and I too need to learn how to leave The Crazy at home. Need. To. Learn.

That is one impressive list of goals! I couldn’t sit still long enough to even think of 5 things to work on.
Good luck!
