Weight: 201 Waist: 38″ Hips: 47″ Bust: 43″ Did anyone else notice that it was a full moon week? Well, it was a pretty rough week for me. As all you ladies know every 28 days or so our bodies go through some drastic changes. Physical pains and out of the norm emotions can sometimes take over. [...]

Weight: 202 Waist: 38″ Hips: 47″ Bust: 43″ Wow!  What a first week!  Down only one pound but it’s okay.. it’s still a pound.  With so much going on I’ll try to keep it organized and somewhat easy to read! heh Running!

Hello everyone, Poochie here! I’m here to be your vegetarian/vegan “expert”.  I was so excited when the Getting Healthy program wanted to add in folks passionate about a new range of topics.  And food is definitely something I’m passionate about! Just a bit about me personally.  My husband and I switched to a plant-based lifestyle [...]
