Two months ago, I spent a few hours with three of my key friends / blog contributors and we had a blast. We had a nice lunch together and then walked for an hour or more
something none of us could have endured before this program.

We met at
Johnny's Bar & Grille for lunch. All of us ordered the same thing: bone-in salt and pepper
chicken wings, fried Brussels sprouts, seltzer with lots of
lemons, and an extra large order of laughing and talking. The staff were fabulous and they were so kind to take our photo again and again until they had one with just the right light.

After lunch, we walked across the street to Mount Holyoke College to tour the beautiful library and to see the Dale Chihuly sculpture
Clear and Gold Tower. After the our self-tour of the library, we headed outside toward lower lake.
As we walked across campus, the laughter continued. We were all so relaxed and it was a beautiful day, so I pulled my camera. I had to seize the moment and do a photo shoot of everyone. It was an honor to capture the fun spirit of each of these women.
Usually I would insert a "before" photo next to these photos, but this time, I want to let the photos speak for themselves.

When my photo was taken, we didn't realize the video button was selected and consequently we recorded a rather funny moment, but some moments are not to be shared beyond close friends. This was one of those moments.
You are all glowing with good health and have remarkable complexions! Is this a side effect of your food choices?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteYes - this is all a side effect of our food choices. No kidding. I remember one day looking at old photos of me heavier and I suddenly realized I no longer have so much red color in my face. I always thought the redness had to do with my Irish heritage, but after changing the way I eat - no more red!
Thank you, Anonymous! I took a closer look at our picture and we DO all glow and have nice skin! Hurray for Julie! :)
ReplyDeleteBesides glowing from our food choices, the less weight we carry, the less high blood pressure we have, the less wheezing from exercise, the greater we can inhale into our lungs, etc. etc. Plus, Julie has taught that we truly have to be happy from the inside, and I think these pictures resonate our internal freedom from food addiction. So, lots of reasons for great skin tone! Thank you for the wonderful compliment!
