Pushing the Reset Tool Kit One of the instagrams that I follow to motivate my weight release journey is @fitmomwithtwoboys. In full disclosure, I must admit that this is my sister's IG. That aside, I've watched her dedication and commitment to working out and eating cleaner result in a remarkable transformation. I've added her IG to my browser "tool kit" bookmark so that I can stay motivated. What websites and/or users do you follow to help motivate you?

“The death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color.
