Hey Dynna,
Welcome to the Beach
You will make it- what an attitude! But don't feel bad if you don't feel like that each and everyday, that's when coming to the beach can help most, IMHO, and I've been coming a week or so!
If you're tummy is grumbling, maybe you are hungry??
Keep eating! I've been keeping cut up veggies and pistachios with me all the time.
On the beans, a bunch of chicks have been making chili, and I think they're doing great. I just made my own today, we'll see how it comes out! Look for the recipe in the recipe forum.
Welcome, welcome, hope to see more of ya! Or less, actually.
