Happy Summer!

Our June workshop with Kami Gray showed us how to keep our weight in check by eating well and using our blue jeans as the litmus test! Sponsored by True Religion Jeans 9gorgeeous jeans!), www.truereligionbrandjeans.com, my big "aha" centered around the idea of monitoring insulin levels. I ran out and bought agave nector the next day! Here are some comments from the evaluations:

Ø She was a delight - As always with these things, there was not enough time to cover all of the topic! Great, relevant, fun topic!!

Ø Topic was just okay for me although I was glad to be reminded to make more healthy food choices on a daily basis. The part of her presentation that intrigued me the most was her journey to becoming a published author.

Ø ...Kami kind of focused on the sweetener issue for too long. She could have covered more topics more succinctly and made people want to buy the book. I did buy it....

Ø Really enjoyed the speaker.
