I look forward to learning more about your program on Healthier Living. I wish your list of snacks and wonderful meal plans came in a book form, it would be more enjoyable to take the printed info around, instead of being glued to the chair facing the computer screen constantly.I know I could print all the info but that is a pain the backside. Will they ever come out in book form, your ideas, recipes, yummy looking pictures, the pictures keep the interest up besides my appetite. Thank you for your time and expertise . 7/23/2021 1403.
