Hi everyone!  Day 5 of the reset here - it's going by pretty fast.  16 days to go!I was so exhausted last night that I didn't post my Day 4 recap.  I knew to expect fatigue right around day 4 and it's continued into today.  Both days, it's hit me around 1 PM.  I'm grateful that I have two preschool girls who like...
