I just feel like an absolute roley poley. I know I probably didn’t gain 27 pounds in the last two weeks, but it certainly feels like I got a little extra junk in all of my compartments.

I’m going to the gym at least 5 times this week. This is not to confuse me, however, with the resolution folks you’ll be seeing at your local workout center.

My 2016 exercise regimen is NOT a resolution, guys. It’s a promise. I, Rachel, solemnly swear to devote myself to having the most fleekin’ bod on the block. Because, as we all know, personalities fade, but looks are forever.

As you can see, I’m dreaming really big in the new year.
