Sometimes laughter can get us over a slump.  Here is a cute video of  examples of low glycemic eating!

Yesterday I didn’t do so well sticking to my plan.  In fact, it was the kind of day when I washed out in lots of areas.  Here is one of my favorite verses.  I use it a lot — and you can, too, when (not if) bad days come along: “Rejoice not against me, O…
