It's not far, not fast, but felt good. I'm signed up again for #TourdeCure Chicago in June 2016, and I'm challenging myself to raise $3000.00.

If you're aware of the extra carbs in that lemonade, and balance them with lower-carb choices throughout your day, you can keep yourself pretty well-regulated.

It's weird how life can slap you around a little; everything changes with a phone call from your doctor's office. For me, it was a call from a physician's assistant, informing me that my recent.

I'm Type II, and no medication prescribed as yet. I'm currently checking my "numbers" with daily home blood tests and using various fitness apps and gadgets to track activity, carbs, and calories.
