@Karen Kramer great way to recognize what works for you and sticking to it and staying creative! Sorry to hear about your foot/ankle condition. @Lisa Sager also for me keeping track of how much water I drink is very helpful.

@M W you couldn’t have said it any better!!! 100% agree. @Lisa Sager I hope you do read this … sending much love and strength. It ain’t easy we know.

@Terry Tupper love your success and strength to prioritize yourself 🎉🎉🎉 Slow suicide aka sugar is right. They don’t call it a silent killer for no reason.have a wonderful weekend!

@Michelle Stanley thank you! ❤️
