Ahoy there me hearties! This old pirate feels like I’ve gained weight the past months. Aye, I was a bit sluggish when booty hunting and it was hard for me to keep up with the crew. I guess it was all from all the drinking and eating that we had that was almost every night. Har, har, har! The other pirates continued to exercise, but I slept on my bed instead, so here I am now, I am over me ideal weight. I decided to lose weight so me started to eat healthy and exercise. I also downloaded an app that I will share now with ye me hearties. It’s called Calorie Counter – MyFitnessPal by MyFitnessPal Inc. Listen up me lads and lasses!
