My week 4 review is definitely different. It’s been a tough week. I mentioned getting sick in last week’s review. I’ve stayed sick with a deep dry cough all week and it’s made it very difficult to sleep as well. Where was my focus at this...

It’s funny that after four rounds I’m still pretty much ending up back at my mother’s method of meal preparation. We used to always have ground beef cooked up in the freezer and usually some other meat ready to cook. As a teenager, this was great...
