I’m sharing these journal entries to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead and to relive my 60 Day Reboot. And don’t miss out on our anniversary celebration – we’re giving away a Breville Juice Fountain Crush a Day for 60 days. We have 49 more juicers to give away so don’t miss out.
