I've been buring he candle from too many ends, and I'm exhausted so I'm not actually up to a "challenge" right now. But I will join this thread to get back on track. I'm not feeling physically well any more... my bod craves raw, fresh veggies and broiled lean meats. That's what I want to give it.

Sorry I am going to have to bow out.. Could not find the tape measure to save my life even though I seen it the other day.. Good luck to all
