Thanks for your comment on my feed action. My daughter is actually a vegetarian so i know all about that. She does tend to be pretty thin but she eats lots of junk. I have thought of eating like her but she is 18 and I am 49. I have to eat for my metabolism and am reading balance hormones, slim belly by Jorge Cruze and its basically carb cycling. Not a big fan, but I just ODed on Valentines Day so I thought it would be a good chance to try this program and do a sugar detox. I was eating way too many carbs. I will see how I do at the end of the week but generally low carb is really not for me. Cutting out all of the junk has been very liberating, however.

Thanks for the LIKE on my yoga workouts. I finally found something I like to do so I got an unlimited monthly membership and I go almost every day. It's great!
