    2. Hi Yvette. I have visited your blog a few times. To no avail will it allow me to comment. I filled out things everytime and no dice. I just visited your post – Day 15. I tried to leave this comment:
      Hi Yvette. Wow, thanks for sharing your routine with us. I can so relate – for a year I can’t lose five pounds. I’m not much of an eater either, and my fitness routine disappeared two years ago, even with joining a new gym, the scale doesn’t want to move. What kind of diet did you find works? OH, and love the infra red saunsa. Hubby and I wanted to install one years ago, it didn’t work out. I’d never heard of the chair ones! Hugs xx

      1. The chair infrared sauna is great because it fits in any indoor corner. My diet focuses on fruits (no more than two a day), vegetables (as many as you want), meat/protein, and nuts and healthy, gluten-free grains (in moderation) with a bit of dark chocolate on the side. 😉 I eat as organic as I can. I eat the right portions. I don’t gorge, but I also stopped eating like a bird. I work out, but I don’t burn out. I hope that helps.

        As far as my blog, I wish I knew how to fix the issue. I know that when you go to comment, it will say Anonymous, but it has a drop down menu where you can choose your Google account or something else (I don’t remember). Once I signed in with my Google account, it just remembered me, so I’ve never had to do it again. I hope that helps. Perhaps try a different browser and see if that works. I appreciate you trying and letting me know. XOXO 🙂

      2. Wow, sounds like your lifestyle diet is exactly mine – including a side of chocolate, lol. Still, that needle won’t move. I usually lose a few when I go on winter vacation, which will be happening soon. All the sunshine and walking.
        And about your blog, ya, I saw the ‘anonymous’ thing but still wouldn’t acknowledge me. This was not the first time I’ve tried. I know a lot of WordPress bloggers have trouble with Blogspot, I always do. In fact, the only way I’m commenting back to you is from my notification window. Arg! ❤
