so has been an interesting 2 weeks - I certainly am more conscious about what I am eating and how much I am eating. I am hoping it will result in wt loss -- but it is the balance of energy in and out - still need to watch the portions and make sure i am exercising. Have a dog with me for a few days so i am certainly walking more and walked to and from a friends house - even though my friends tried to "push" a ride on me. I did not get home till almost midnight - but enjoyed the walk. I am going to do this - with you sis - love the quinoa
