    You sound good. I think the combined energy forces of all the women in your family will help carry the team throughout the day. I’ll also eat some extra almonds, blueberries, carrots, grapes and salad today. Maybe even put on some B-52’s for the final push. Love and good thoughts to everyone! GO TEAM GO!!!!!!!!!
