I will be fixing big healthy meal choices for tomorrow, so I will make up for it.

Renee-I thought your food choices sounded healthy. Were your portion sizes big?
I know you were working hard this past week on this effort. :hug:
Well, its the start of a new week, so maybe you can find something
to tweak to get those numbers falling again.

Renee-I finally made that baked apple recipe. It was eatable, but too sweet, and took too long to cook. I even put it in the oven to cook as well as the microwave. Anyway, I ate an apple, but don't plan on making the recipe again. Not sure if you made this yet or not, but I wanted to give you some feedback on how it worked for me.

Hi Renee, you sound like you are getting bored. You will have to come up with a good project like painting a picture or some type of craft.

Yesterday, I had problems accessing the site. I got locked out and then couldn't get back on for a while.
Today is much better. So that is why my entry is cut off in case you were wondering.
