Well the challenge is over and I finished with a 12 lb weight loss and several inches lost. Life continues to be a challenge with too many things on my plate. The seminar with Jack Canfield was very eye opening ad I have realized many changes that I have to make in my life. Many of which have to do with cleaning up old projects. Clearing the clutter out of my home/life. Etc. I will continue to maintain the diet that was laid out from day#1 as I feel better when I eat in that fashion. I have "tes… Continue

I can't believe it's been almost 20 days since I posted a blog. I have been very faithful to the diet and I'm holding my own in the weight category. Our week of "active rest" was much needed; however, it came the week before I left for a week of scuba diving and therefore, I have now had two weeks without Dax's exercises. Obviously, scuba diving is somewhat physical, but not to "bulding muscle" like our exercises. I did have some trouble staying 100% ED friendly at our location in Roatan, Hondur… Continue

Tomorrow is the day for weights and measures for week #8. The weight should be down. I am hopeful that measures will be as well.

Today was a typical "Manic Mondy" (someone should write a song with that title). I made it through the day in time to get to the 6 p.m.-8 p.m. Zumba and Strength and Tone class - which was my exercise for the day. We are in the preparation mode for a week long scuba dive trip to Honduras. We leave IFriday, July 25th.… Continue
