Nikki,

Now to finish the other bottle…[Read more]

Thanks Nikki!  That sounds like a good idea and maybe that might work for me too. I’ll give it a try, probably not until tomorrow though.

Oh Nikki…please get better soon!!!!!  It’s no fun not feeling well, I have been on some type of prescription meds since mid-January and am still not 100%.

Well, our area is now digging out from the blizzard. Most schools are closed and many state highways are still closed. At least it isn’t snowing today!

Okay, I’m just jumping into this challenge (better late than never)!!  I resumed logging my food in My Fitness Pal when starting the the Bariatric Foodie Pledge and for the most part, have done so every day after it ended (I may have missed a couple meals here and there). I have planned my day (foods/drinks eaten and those planned).  This is wha…[Read more]
