The results were that I lost 2 lbs. during this [...]
Alright, here is a great test for the beginning of Spring. I started a 30 day no junk challenge yesterday. So I am cutting out sugar and TV for the next 30 days. Processed foods and white bread and white pasta and white rice are gone. My diet is pretty good anyway but I do [...]

Overheard at the gym yesterday.
