This seems to be a common… Continue reading So what the hell happened???
252.8 No clue. My body seems to go up and down and I’m not sure how to make sense of it. Maybe it just really likes chicken wings? I’m feeling it more today. I’m a bit anxious. I am struggling. My daughter begged to go to Sonic this morning. She’s a character. She loves corn-less… Continue reading Day 9 Sugar Reduction

253.8 You know …. weight doesn’t come on overnight… so why is it that you make changes for a single day and you hope to see 10 pounds gone in the first 24 hours???
