15 Pounds Lost in Two Weeks!
Yep, you read that right. I weighed in this morning and I’m down 15 pounds from where I was when I started my new regimen … 9 pounds lost in the 10 days I’ve been on this lemonade diet. Now, I can hear the skeptics saying “Yeah, it’s all water and will come back when […]
Days 5 and 6 of the Lemonade Diet

So, since I would have to wait two more weeks if I don’t do it this weekend, I’m doing it tonight. My only worry […]
Penalties of Stay-Home Parenting
