    Thanks for this roundup, Brenda! How are you doing on your 35by35? It's slow going here, but I'm staying consistent with exercise(even bumping it up a bit) and logging my calories. I'm finding it significantly harder to lose weight after 40. Good for you for attacking it now. Keep up the good work!
    Happy 4th of July, sweet friend!
    Blessings,
    Nici

    And by the way, I went to the dreaded store (lol) and I actually bought some fruits and vegetables (I feel so grown up LOL) and even bought healthier snacks (veggie chips and nuts). Go me!

    Hope you had a fab day! We had so much fun and I didn't work one minute of the day which is a first in several Years.

    I so wish I could just have one bite of any of those yummies!
