    Hi Ruby... so happy to see you back posting...

    I am at 14 days girl :)

    I am wearing dress pants and a tank, getting ready for work.

    Not eating yet... having a potluck at work...

    Last day for a while since I am finally going to work on doing something about my weight..

    I am surprised at how quickly every thing is changing for me... all with making those decisions that I made two weeks ago... were they easy decisions no.... but they have been worth it..

    Take care Ruby, I have been thinking of you xox

      Hey Launna,

      Sorry for my short absence, I just had nothing to write about

      14 days!!!
      That's 2 whole weeks!
      I'm so so proud of you
      Virtual high five!

      It's amazing, just as things can go downhill quickly, they can also improve quickly
      I think it's called the snowball effect
      All these small changes ad up to be great strides

      Keep going girl x
