<p style=”text-align: center;”>Just checking in! I’ve been doing great, I was down to 204 this morning! I might actually get below 200 this week!! Prior to Mondays meeting I was trying to limit Diet Coke, but Dr. Lewis said go ahead, just don’t over do it. Something about drinking water on an empty stomach makes me nauseous.

Way to go

@drlewis – Yes, I promise.    It was just a small reward for my perfect day, and awesome exam.

@beth – thanks!

Yay!!! Way to go Rachel!!!!

Breezed through my Final Exam tonight.    So happy I didn’t let the stress get to me this week.  Now I just need to resist the temptation to reward myself for a job well done.  LOL!  Well…I can’t think of a better reward than a few less pou…[Read more]
