Merry Christmas

I have been having some health issues (I found out that I have kidney stones in both kidneys and they are, for some reason, not passing so I will have a dr. appt on January 9).  On a related note- I have cut out all soda and am on day 6 of no soda.  My goal is to not have anything but water and juice until my appt and see what he says.  There's a small possibility from what I have read that some of the south beach diet has caused this but I am not sure and will not know anything for sure until the dr. appt.

Merry Christmas to all!
