I thought I was going to be on more this week since I'm off this week for Thanksgiving break, but the wiring for my phone line was messed up. The guy came out and fixed it so I can get on again. Come back soon. Good luck to you. Finals are coming up in the next couple of weeks so I should be on a little bit more next month before school starts up again in January.

Hey, I love the idea of all the fruit. I eat lots of fruit. I have problems with the veggies though. Daughter is having problems with not being allowed fruit. Because of her elevated blood sugar the only fruit she can have is apples and strawberries and even that is very limited. Only 3 strawberries or 1/2 and apple!

Sounds like you are getting back into it Magenta. My mom started step again last month after her knee surgery. I love eating fruit, but most of them are out of season her since it's winter. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't eat strawberries, I love them. Especially chocolate ones! Keep going Magenta!

Mmmmm, chocolate dipped strawberries! Of course the chocolate kind of blows the whole plan doesn't it!!!

Yeah, but you're still eating fruit right?
