Hello ladies and gentlemen.  So good to be back.  If you are wondering where I have been, I have been writing up a storm, just not here on this blog.  Today was the deadline for some projects I have been writing so I should have more time now.

I also managed to complete a guide to crowdfunding that I have been working on, How to Kickstart Your Dream, All You Need to Know About Crowdfunding, uploaded to Amazon last week.  You can now purchase it for the Kindle for $ 2.99.  If you have an idea and need funding, it is a must read.  Also, watch for a feature on crowdfunding starring moi (that's French for me) in the Greenville News coming up soon.  Will let you know when I know!  Also, check out my project at indiegogo let food be thy medicine.  I have 45 days to raise $ 19K so that Anderson, SC can be the first city to have a restaurant dedicated to eating smart, anti-aging gastronomy.

I have not been steadfast with my balance of a 60/40 goal, alkaline producing food to acid producing food.  As is usually the case when I am working on a project, I forget to plan meals ahead.  That is a sure way to wander from the intended path because it is much faster and easier to grab a sandwich or chips than it is to make a salad.

And although I have not lost as much weight as I would like to have lost, this morning I was 4.5 lbs lighter than when I started.  Still have pain at the base of right thumb, about a 4, now, and mild muscle spasms continue off and on between my ribs which are easily inflamed with exercise.  With 24 days left, we'll see what happens if I am diligent from now on.  All other sites of pain and tightness are gone.

Buon Appetito and Buona Salute, Angela B
