Thanks again Bev. Heard low gi is a good one to follow, you'll get there. I love my carbs, not much for bread other than whole 7 grain healthy stuff. Its nice to know that I have admiration... Hopefully we can turn that frown around and make you happy again. So is it your wedding then? How exciting? I too am 40, so heres to us, 40 is the new 30 right?

Whew, thought I should mention lastnight I had the urge for something sweet. HOWEVER, I talked myself out of that one and resisted the temptation. I am hoping the final 9 days are temptation free ones too... Wish me luck peeps, I am over 1/2 way thru my challenge...

Well 12 Days Down that I was SUCCESSFUL, so I have to be happy with that! I won't beat myself up because that was quite an accomplishment. It was a tough challenge for me, especially since I had given up all artificial sweeteners 5 months prior and I succeeded at that with flying colors. So I obviously still need some sweetness in my life. This challenge is over as of right now. Am I a failure? I don't think so, I just didn't complete this challenge, I gave in to my sweet tooth, but so be it! My mood is fine, because I am happy I made it this far... Life goes on... ..SWEET!

Thanks my dear, for the support & for the greens too! But yanno, I think it may have just been a typo, hmnnnnn maybe I meant to type only a 12 day challenge instead of 21 days! Makes sense to me... Thats my new story and I am sticking to it!

Heck yeah, it was a good run, I am happy, despite coming up short!
