Naming and Avoiding Weight Loss Pitfalls

Remember that song by Huey Lewis? "I want a new drug, one that does what it should. One that won't make me feel too bad, one that won't make me feel too good."

I enjoy camping, music, arts and crafts. I am looking forward to enjoying the company of those with RA and struggle with depression like me. ;-)

I've been kicked to the curb, but I'm getting back up now.

I haven't done a share post in a while, so I thought I'd share. I've been through a rough patch this last year.
