Working Mom's Workout {Guest Post} at 100lb Countdown

I am super excited to have the opportunity to guest post at 100lb Countdown. April is the writer for 100lb Countdown and her blog is all about  her weight loss journey, alternative ways to clean without toxins, family stories, some really fun link-ups (for you bloggers reading this) and much more!
