So hard to know how to handle it. <br /><br />I would imagine the answer is to treat your body well and eventually it will all become second nature for you- meaning it will rub off on your daughter the same way.Jen Has A Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985462114936261199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208706644410714856.post-59786716883713472102012-02-04T21:23:25.772-05:002012-02-04T21:23:25.772-05:00I think it's about finding a balance.

Keep at it - we all know that muscle weighs more than fat, yada yada. yet we start these workout regimens and have trouble understanding why the numbers aren't moving.<br /><br />Aim for tone - not pounds lost. aim for strength - not calories burned.
