JFT. 7-9-23. I will, in all my meals have healthy eating habits. Need to get this cholesterol thing in check. So fat I have had 2 cups of coffee with honey and almond milk. Breakfast is on the horizon.

Hello. My name is Shannon. I was gone for awhile. I am going to try this again. I am getting my health in order and need to make this work. Tracking myself is my accountability. Fingers crossed here goes nothing!

JFT Monday April 10 8:00 2 cups of coffee Banana Commitment to doing better.

are you trying to eliminate it completely or just lower your intake? i, myself am lowering my intake. i am drinking tea and it seems to help keep my head at bay. compared to the "coffee pot and them some" amount of caffeine i was drinking.
