The best laid plans
Day 3 Yippee, I am still going strong. Making conscious decisions about my food, taking my vitamins, drinking my water, waiting patiently for the headache to go away. Wednesdays are my long days.

Soup, it does this body good
Combatting the flu: I am on phase 4, and maintaining my weight. Have been since May. On Thursday I became sick, and while I battled the bug, I was freezing, whiny, exhausted, and ready with every excuse in the book to just sink into comfort food. I am in phase 4… So I can. But…
