Braggs Healthy Vinaigrette

ANOTHER HIT
Hubby LOVED THEM!!

Down 5 - 20 to go


So a couple weeks ago Bruce mentioned that we should 
go back on the Forks over Knives way of eating - 
So we did - 
Whole foods
No processed sugar
Lots of Veggies
Fruits
and GOOD FOR YOU FOOD
We cut way back on store bought/restaurant meat
Not only do we feel better
LOTS more energy but ...
go to your cupboard pick up that 5 lb bag of sugar see its pretty heavy
now put it down on your counter... 
Yep thats me 5 lbs lighter 
its working its working 
the menopausal weight gain thing is NO JOKE I didn't change
the way I was eating no more no less and within a year 35 lbs magically appeared
I was appalled
and I was worried that I was not going to lose weight ever again 
BUT 
this is WORKING
I will update you on my progress regarding this on Nov.1
NOTE 
this is NON processed foods so that means 
no powdery shake mixes
no working out till your body is in agony
just hiking and walking 
see recipes and things thruout this blog - 
YES I cheat now and then like this morning
I had a nibble of Bruces pumpkin donut
I LOVE THEM and its 
THAT TIME OF YEAR ;-)
