I have an admission to make… I have been slacking since December. "Slacking" as in I’ve only been exercising sporadically, I’ve barely logged my food, and my walking is way way down from where it should be. What’s my excuse? Oh, ya know… I have plenty of them that I feed my own self-criticism. "I’ve been so busy with moving!", "I’ve been sick all winter and the prednisone is adding water

Keep believing in yourself and get back on the plan and go-baby-go!
I have been really a bit crazed in the past three weeks or so. Life is not ‘out of control’, but life right now is REALLY REALLY busy! And in one of those indisputable ‘law of attraction’ moments in my life, the nice folks at Slim-Fast contacted me asking me if I’d like to try their newly formulated products. Hmmmmm….
