I also found if I ate less "soy" products my tummy troubles were lessened. Lots of walking and water, and if all else fails the Smooth Move tea...but be careful...it has a powerful effect on some…

  • Frozen fruit and veggies (without any added sauces, sugars, ect) are a great "cheap" way to get your fruits and veggies in... beans beans beans! cheap and clean... brown rice...cheap and clean All of these items make excellent meals when combined together (along with some simple herbs and spices) Good Luck!

  • I REALLY love the idea of doing some stretches while watching the TV! I think I could even lift some weights! Over the past few weeks I have found a new addiction to frozen fruit and smoothies at night! Thanks for the suggestions!
