The Good
Last week I had to stay with my mom for a few days since she needed some help getting to some important appointments. She is tentative about driving lately because of weakness she experiences because of her condition. I was only too happy to lend a helping hand. While I was there I noticed [...]

The discomfort I felt on Day 11 after not getting enough fuel to effectively complete my workouts or my day left me feeling limp and uninterested in exercise on day 12. It depressed me a bit because I thought that I’d found my achilles heel that I’d never lose weight. Then I remembered [...]
