Day #15 weigh-in: 120.4, down .2 pound from yesterday. I attended my daughter, Kelly’s, baby shower yesterday and managed to eat only the healthiest treats at the shower. It’s a good thing I was on this 28-day diet, or I’m not sure I would have been able to resist a bite of the chocolate cheese […]
