I know it has been more than 16 days that have passed since I have started on my Forks over Knives adventure but please allow me to explain. Gramps (Jesse's grandpa) passed away on July 24th. For those of you who may not know, Jesse and I have lived with him for the past 2 1/2 years, keeping him company and helping to take care of him. So things have been a little on the rough side for the past few weeks. We had so much food in the house graciously brought by neighbors, family and friends, we did the best we could with what we had. We honestly did not eat the Forks Over Knives way during the past few weeks but I can say WE ARE OFFICIALLY BACK ON TRACK and it feels GREAT!!
