Years ago, my husband and I were in Italy, the morning having turned to early afternoon, and we were tuckered out from all the sights we had seen. We found ourselves in one of the small cafes we found just off a secondary road. It appealed to us because the menu was not translated into English, because it was quiet, and because it seemed to be frequented by locals. We sat down to a bottle of cooling water, pondered what to eat, and noticed that they had a pizza oven. The menu was suitably small -- on it was Pizza Margherita. We decided to share one, and oh, my! This was such perfection.

Loving surrendering my food plan to Jenny and doing what they say - PERIOD. OK I am substituting other entrees for shelf stable foods - but otherwise. OK I add Catsup to the burger - but otherwise sticking to it. Even when exercising a bunch. So in 14 days down 7.2 lbs. Headaches in the beginning - not drinking, not as much diet soda (Its allowed i just cut back a little) and getting my overeating and drinking self on track. So yup some detox headaches. But really feeling great now. I learned to love the Energy Bar first thing - and then working out. It helps! I miss the desserts

I had been blogging here for quite awhile, then I could not find the blogs. Hopefully, I will find my way back here. 2020 was quite a ride, huh? I'm not sure what it was like for you, but I remember, quite vividly, my last day of normalcy in 2020. I have a group of friends I went to grad school with. We and our husbands all get together about every three months or so (we live in different parts of the country) and have brunch or dinner and just sit around and catch up. It's always just wonderful, whether good or bad things are going on in our lives. We love and support one another. Ear
