Especially the last part. . . there's nothing worse than going through all the trouble of burning 200 calories just to gulp them right back down in the form of OJ because I have a massive low.

And ask us for help too! There are lots of smart people out here (somewhere)! :-)Scott K. Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601851114190791084noreply@blogger.com
