Had McDonalds #3 with Vanilla Iced Coffee for breakfast. I used to have this almost daily, now I have it almost never....today was the exception. Back on with lunch today! Not going to beat myself up over this one meal. I have done really good the past month, changing my diet and becoming more active (a mile a day on the…

I let myself eat it once in awhile, but not every week, or even every month. It's bad for my kidneys and my health in general. A strong immune system is my goal, along with…

I'm with you!!! I'm 52 and needing to be really healthy. I want to enjoy the rest of my life as an active, healthy human being! Let's do this!! Krista

I am on a Uric Acid diet, which makes me pretty much vegetarian. lol That was not my intention, but I have to say, I feel better! I am walking a mile on the treadmill every single day…
