Because You Asked for It

Warmest of greetings to everyone, both near and far, both those of you I know in person, in real life, as well as to those of you I know only from a distance as pen pals.  I am thankful that you are here today, reading my blog! Today's topic is how I lost the weight this time around.  So many of you, members from my gym, have been asking me how did I do it?  Everyone keeps asking me how did I lose the weight?

I was getting ready to join a Revelation Wellness Plus Sugar Fast in January for 21 days, but around the time it was starting I developed cold and allergy symptoms, a little bit stronger and more unusual for me so i decided to opt out of doing the sugar fast this time around.  But, I am...
