Monthly Weight

July 1st Weigh-in: 227 So for the first six months of the year I am only down 3 pounds. I actually gained a couple pounds this month. This is a result of not really following No-S alone.

Well, I had my 40th birthday two weeks ago ...and For two weeks I have been red!! Two weeks of birthday celebrations! No reason I couldn't eat green during the week and celebrate during the weekend. Oh, well. I only turn 40 once. Moving on. I'm hoping to finish out the month strong, though! 👍
