    Weigh-in number two was today. I was expecting to not lose (and possibly gain) weight because of our multiple Thanksgiving dinners. I also confessed my cheating in an attempt for full disclosure.

  • Another day, another diet

    I’ve blogged about my weight struggles in the past and have decided to try out something new. I first came across Ideal Protein through Mrs. Sunhat on Weddingbee. I looked into it, couldn’t find a medical office in the area that offered it, and started the HCG diet. Driving home from the Junior League office…
