A bout of gastric acid woke me up to the fact that I dont need to eat at 12.30 at night, so now I have a rule that I don't eat after 7.00pm. I do break it sometimes, like if I can't get dinner before then due to work etc, but I really try to stick to it as much as I Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100985140335023467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-22858737548192491302012-04-23T18:30:11.217-04:002012-04-23T18:30:11.217-04:00EXCELLENT "T" word and so TRUE!...:)JPEXCELLENT "T" word and so TRUE!...:)JPjp@A Green Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217268829093983376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-85582188097863487862012-04-23T17:32:38.535-04:002012-04-23T17:32:38.535-04:00This is the first time I have come across your blo...This is the first time I have come across your blog.
