Hey all -- thanks for your support yesterday, I really needed it. Woke up this morning and my headache is gone! Still sniffly and itchy (allergy, detox, combo, who knows) but I can live with it. I made some good progress on food choices yesterday by eating more whole fruits/veggies and relying less on seeds, nuts and avocado, which I love and easily gravitate to.

So, Tuesday mornings are my long-standing weekly weigh-in. You know, just to keep accountable. But I'm not a daily scale ...

Sort of ironic that it's "Cinco de Mayo" meaning...in the past I would have been one of those many folks chowing down on taquitos and drinking margaritas. There's a reason I ballooned up to 218 lbs at my highest weight Jan 1, 2006. At 5'6" this is just not a good weight for me at all. I lived at 160-165 lbs most of my adult life and was always one of those people who needed ...
