Happy Almost Weekend, my Best Buddies!

I am working to get myself better on track this week. Two weekends ago when I was doing the intensive assistant training, I think I got exhausted and off my program...sometimes once that happens, it opens the flood gates to carb cravings!

And, I believe I have not managed stress well this week -- my niece started a chemo regimen this week. Her cancer is rare but very very treatable and will be a lifelong chronic type of leukemia that will require monitoring. Still, an awful situation as we know the chemo is hard on people.

NO EXCUSES for me though...MUST.TREASURE.MY.HEALTH

Let's make April better than March!
