HALFWAY!!!!!!
I honestly didn't think I would make it this far.
I wish I had some stats like fasting glucose, inches lost, etc. but I didn't think to do that when I started. I can tell you that I have lost 9 lbs! Which on a little frame like me is a lot. I didn't start this diet to lose weight, but that sure has been a nice side effect.

Lunch - chicken salad, pineapple
Dinner - applesauce (tummy not great)

Heather - Day 19

I love Fridays!

Today I am feeling nauseous. I had a migraine last night that made me nauseous as well. I've never had that happen before. I wish my tummy would settle down! I really am trying to lean on the Lord and pray when I start feeling bad. It's helping a little.
Praying for your blood work Kim, and for Hali on her camping trip.
