My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The
My friend, NYT bestselling author Tosca Lee, was Mrs. Nebraska several years ago. She is a fount of information for health and exercise.
One thing she mentioned is that some fresh lemon juice in water is great if you’re feeling bloated from your time of the month, because it’s a natural diuretic besides all the great vitamin C it’s packed with.
What struck me about it is that it’s mentioned in the French Women Don’t Get Fat book that I've raved about before on this blog (part one and part two). Citron presse is a popular drink French women order at cafes—a lemon squeezed into water, whether cold or warm, without sugar.
Maybe that’s why they order them—for the anti-bloating properties! Since I’ve been feeling fat lately, I’ve been drinking lemon juice and water at meals. Unfortunately, I’m still fat. But I’m running again (breaking in my Vibram Five Finger shoes) so hopefully I’ll lose the weight I gained in the past few months I’ve been on deadline.
And what’s up with the pink slime hitting the news lately? Captain Caffeine told me about it, and that our local grocery store, Nob Hill, supposedly does not carry pink slime hamburger. I think Mireille Guiliano would not even call that food.

So tell me, how often do you run in a week? And how far do you go in kms?

Thanks for the tip about lemon water. I'm always up for trying new things (so long as it's not green and slimy). :-)

Natalia, lemon water is one of the better diet tips I've gotten since it doesn't taste as nasty as other things!
