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!

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.
