LongBeach good for you, 15lbs is a lot of weight. The ice things are a good idea. I'd just rather eat the fruit, I'm too lazy to have to clean the blender afterwards...! HA HA HA...
I am just trying to stay away from processed sugar, I don't even put it in my coffee any longer. 7 years ago I quit smoking, 1 1/2 years ago I stopped all diet sodas, I stopped eating anything with fake sugar in it... The only things I drink now are Sodium free Club sodas, 100% fruit juice no sugar added usually diluted, Maybe a cup of coffee 2 or 3 times a week, Green and Cammomil tea and of course a lot of water... now giving up the booze... much harder for me than the smoking... UGH... :-)
