If I’m not posting please believe that Im workin!…or doing something.

My daughters first birthday came and went…We semi survived the first year. No lost… no gain. Her B-day was my off day…and boy was it off.

Since then I’ve been eating clean except for maybe a nibble at the left over birthday cake and some candy…but I dont scrap the day. (some of you know what I mean). I notice it takes very little to fill me up these days. It’s very possible that you can train your stomach to be small…on the insides, no surgery needed.

I do have this lil sweet tooth with all the crap left in the house. So Im making some protein carrot cake.
