No grains {including corn}. Eat are fruits, veggies, minimally processed meats, and a few nuts and fats. That's the long and short of it. I did step on the scale. That was my one cheat. There were NO food cheats. I needed to cut ties completely in both these arenas. Today is Day 31. Splash my coffee with a REAL.

A Barred Owl swooped in on our property and just sat nice enough and long enough to get some great shots. Mannnnnn, when those eyes are staring at you, it's pretty creeeepy! He turned his (or her? Head all the way around to peek at the crazy lady with the camera. Todd carving out "Half Moon Beach" (as it came to be known this weekend.).
