It was back to the grind yesterday. Amazing how 1 day of work can make you tired. Still on a roll. This time around I am eating more food and losing weight more slowly.

Vegas sounds like fun. Good luck Karrie and happy vegetable eating!

Hi Lia: glad to hear from you. thanks for the compliment. Now that the sugar has been out of my body since early September, I find myself craving free. What freedom. Dr. fuhrman's advice really does work. It is really hard in the beginning but I just remind myself that ingesting sugar is ingesting poison. I am starting to…
