Reactions

Food: The food was pretty great today. My favorite was lunch. The kale and steak combo just simple amazing. Just a warning with the pancakes, not sweet at all. :) I got in 14 cups of water.

Body: I'm feeling good energy wise. A couple symptoms I am having are an itchy scalp and the rash on my finger hasn't changed.
