So I am doing the Dietbet and so far so good. I am down 6 lbs from the initial weigh-in. There are some hardcore woman competing with me so I am still only in 4th place!?! I haven't been good on my exercise, so this week that is going to be my new challenge. Start waking up early again and get in that morning workout. I am also challenging myself to not drink coff[...]

It's this odd feeling of are they really saying what I think they are saying, surely I am imagining it, it almo[...]
This has been a really strange year so far. I started off about 40 lbs. lighter than I am now. It has been a real struggle to get a handle on my health since having 5 hand surgeries this past year.
