Mrs. G's Journey to Better Health

The holidays are a tough time to loose weight. There is always lots of food and even more yummy temptations. With all the last minute things to do, to get, to ... ugh! It was bound to happen.

I have to keep at it and use the treadmill if nothing else. So far my best time is one mile in just under 23 minutes. I've noticed that on days I do not take Jillian's dietary supplements and I don't drink the slim fast shake in the morning, I am hungry all day long no matter what I eat, no matter how much I eat. BTW, I used to have my twitter updates appear on this blog, but that is all messed up. Apparently I am not the only
