A Learning Process

Hey!  It's been awhile! So, here's the scoop from the last couple of weeks! I haven't lost much weight, but... As of the 14th, I've lost 5 inches from my body (WOO HOO!) - the next measurement/weigh date is the 29th!  I'm dying to know what the numbers will be. I'm getting stronger and can actually hold a plank position for more than 5 seconds :D I'm feeling better, sleeping better, and overall enjoying life a little bit more! I've also been playing with my juicer and have made some delicious cocktails (minus the booze), and I have been drinking a lot more water than I was before I started this thing, which means I pee like a pregnant lady (TMI?).  Sorry for that mental image!  I'm still soda-free, and the only real food slip ups I've had were a trip to Del Taco and one to Chick-fil-A.  I mean, come on, who can pass up Chick-fil-A?  I could've done without the Del Taco, but that spicy chicken sandwich was freakin' amazing!  Oh, an...
