Ok, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but I went to a church rummage sale today. They had a “bag sale” which means that everything you could fit into a paper grocery bag became yours for $2. I filled three bags, mostly with clothes. Having finally met my goal weight, I wanted to get [...]
I need to keep this one short, so that I can keep the promise to myself to get to bed early tonight, but wanted to report that this morning I weighed 200, for a large 3-lb loss from last week at the same time. All seven of the previous days food journal were good [...]
