I have joined up with some other ladies from the CWA Review team to form a ShapelyGirl exercise group for the month of October. Each Friday during October, I’m going to post updates on how I’ve done for the week as a way to be held accountable. My final post will be on November 2, 2012 where I will wrap everything up and talk about my experience with the ShapelyGirl Fitness program. Before I get into my reasons behind joining this group, I want to tell you a little bit about ShapelyGirl Fitness. ShapelyGirl Fitness founder Debra Mazda M.Ed created…
