Yesterday I finally said goodbye to my mother in law, Sue Winter Saum. I had put it off, not dealt with it, you know, compartmentalized the situation.

Ever need help seeing clearly? Our friends help us see clearly. My friend Kerry helps me and she says I help her. We both helped save the other's day. Kerry is Mrs California 2018 and you can find her on Instagram.

I just now snapped this picture out on my deck, right this minute. The delivery guy just brought me this package. I will talk about that in a minute. For now I want to talk about protein, because it really is important. Keeping your protein level up is one of the most important success factors with...

 I struggled with weight most of my life.
