Friday Things

Hello scribblers, How are you? How is life treating ya'll? What's going on lately? For me, it is pretty usual- Get up in the morning, get ready for work, eat my breakfast, try to fight sleep at work, come back home and cook, watch Game of Thrones with dinner and then try to sleep early. I have been failing at that last part a lot. I made some changes to the blog recently- I changed the header and also the default font for my blog. I also did a little tweaking in my template so now my posts titles are centered. I have to thank Dana , for her tutorials. They are really simple and easy to follow, and the small changes make a big difference. For creating the header, I used Canva .

It's not just us and the plan- there are several other factors that throw us off. Work:  We all have things we need to do, and sometimes these things demand more attention than we have in mind. Be it long hours of work, or much needed family time, or giving attention to kids- life gets in the way of the fitness goals. Peer pressure: It's the hard truth- you are all alone in this journey. Friends and family don't really provide the support you mig...
