HCB's Journal, 07 December 2016

Greetings Best Buddies,

Happy mid-week to all. I feel like I came "home" since I went back to my usual macros! I feel less bloated and the Idiot Boxes are moving back down.

I just cannot eat grains of any type and feel so much better with a low carb approach. My aching joints are gone since I am not eating anymore inflammatory foods. I have done this WOE for the last two years, and my recent experimentation was a bust. HEY, what happened to colors and bolds? I do not see the option for my journal today. Anyone else?
