Ooops. I didn't even think of that-Yoyo(as in dieting) and Ma as in, well, Ma
I really like that.
As for the music scene i'm not either. Yoyoma is, a classical musician who plays the cello, who is, i believe, Japanese. I've heard him perform in passing more than anything else. He is fabulous!
Good Luck tracking down the book. One i'm reading now, and finding useful, is called:
Small changes for big results By Ellie Krieger MS, RD. She describes a "12 week action plan to a better life". I'm not following it per se, as i'm already doing more in terms of my eating and exercise than her plan outlines in the beginning, but there is lots of good information and tips and recipes.
, later gals.
I did the SAME thing last weekend my father in law had a bbq for fathers day and all they had was hamburgers GREASY hot dogs and potatoe and macroni salad and chips and sodas!!!! well I brought water with me and stuck to it props to me for that! I had this big idea that we would stop on the way and I could pick up some things to make a salad to eat instead although I have to admit I was a bit embarressed and worried I might offend and also knew that I would pick up some slack for it ... I didn't care I was doing good and wanted to stick to my diet ... well as always that flopped we wound up not having time to stop and since we were bringing some of the items and running late my husband refused to stop for what he thought was pointless he says " just eat a burger and call it a day" 
Looks like! We'll have to keep each other on track here!
