So, I am headed into my last week of my newly adopted healthy eating lifestyle. The accountability portion is ending, but I feel committed to moving forward with this new way of eating and burning fat. Our coach threw out the option of doing a 24 hour fast. Since...

Don't worry, I won't be chronicling my every moment during my alone time. Actually, nothing much is happening aside from the the dogs looking for the other people that normally inhabit this home. It typically takes about a day for me to adjust. Adjusting to not...
