Lose 10lbs by August 15th...Summer Project!

Well, here we go, summer has pretty much started. For the past couple of weeks I noticed I was slipping into some bad habits of eating more sugary junk food (ie: chocolate and ice cream) than normal, and my blood sugars were starting to reveal this.   Nothing starts the day off worse than waking up with a blood sugar over 200 mg/dL.
