August - The Year of the Final Diet

And my meals had gotten a bit healthier, as I'd decided I'd made my body pay long enough.
I remember my dear mother popping in one Saturday afternoon and how impressed she was with my rosemary and lemon pepper salmon steak. Love her I do - but no one was getting this delectable dish, not even my Mommy.
And now, we move forward to the final page of my weight loss success story. Don't you just love a happy ending? Continue
