Thank you Carol.
Just finished listening to the latest podcast. Awesome to get to know more about Heron and Arturo0 -
Aaron, Happy to hear her LFT is better. A doc once told me that it was not unusual for it to get out of whack with a severe reaction as your liver is quite the powerhouse trying to filter stuff. A holistic person I used to go to said that sometimes the liver is out of whack and can bring on allergic responses. Your wife's was severe and I would think that is simply a serious allergy she has now. I have some allergies that act up and others that are severe. Unfortunately the severe ones have not gone away and I have to steer clear of them and carry around an Epipen. My LFT will be bad with a severe reaction. They didn't end up rechecking it as I felt better. Prayers going out to her for continued healing.
Mark, Welcome back! I succumbed to chocolates:(
Carol, Have fun!!! Jealous over here.
Kim, thanks for sharing. Adding that one to the list.
Stacy, Stay strong girl! You can make it and enjoy:)
TJ, what a great story! Love it:) We keep hoping it is one of those cats that has a home but is more than happy to enter other people's homes to visit. The boyfriend keeps bringing treats out to him, but the kitty is more interested in lap, cuddle time. He even plays with you which makes our dog even angrier. haha
Off to hit the treadmill after I finish listening to the last podcast. Arturo and Heron were awesome guests. What a cute couple:) BTW...could Jef have better skin? JEALOUS!

Just posted the "Heron & Arturo Show!"
www.fat2fithq.com/112
Whether you are low carb, high carb, no carb... WHATEVER you're trying...Listening to others on their journey is a bit more ammo for your "No" Gun!
Big thanks to these guys & Jef!
Welcome back Mark!
Great to hear Aaron!0 -
I forgot to grab my lunch, this morning, so I had to go get something. Rather than drive, I walked to a restaurant. Granted, it was Taco Bell, but at least that's one win!
For anyone that needs a New Year's boost and haven't seen my other post, I'm going to be trying out a Whole 30 for January. That's a whole month of no added sugar, no wheat, no dairy, and no "a few other things". If you want to join me, go take a look at the links I posted in the other thread. Let me know what you think, and we can have a little MFP support group.
Carol, I just turned on your show with Vinnie Tortorich and I just had to laugh when he was talking about you being in your kid's room with the lion behind you! Mostly because my last few shows, I've been set up in my bathroom closet, lol.0 -
Just Listened to the latest Podcast. Great Job Everybody!0

Reporting in with a non-scale victory: LOOSER CLOTHES! Yippee! Tomorrow we are going to Olive Garden & because I eat ULC (Carb Nite), I'm thinking about ordering Ckicken Alfredo over broccoli (rather than pasta). What do you think? I'd welcome any ideas & input! Thanks Guys

Thanks to this group, for 2 weeks I've been guzzling water like Otis (from the Andy Griffith Show) guzzles moonshine! You all are a good influence on me ...0

Happy Tuesday Folks! Well got er done last night. Am now a Certified Primal Blueprint Wellness Expert. Couple that with the Certified Disability Sports Specialist Cert and $1.25 I can get a cup o coffee at Dunkin Donuts.
Jen - Rest well get well.
Chris - Good call on the meal, some good times on the run, the dreadmill is a way to train for the time you want on your runs. Not the funnest way to run but a useful tool.
Debsue - Take em any time you can get em! NSV's are the real motivators. U B Jammin'!
Jeffery - Keep it rollin Lad!
Kevin - Bummer on the funeral, Today is another day
Well got to get rollin, Keep your ruckstraps tight and your eyes on the trail ahead. See ya at the top o the hill.0 -
Arturo and Heron, Great show! I agree with Carol. I am pulling all kinds of helpful tidbits from here and the shows.
Aaron, Prayers continuing. I hope she is home and well for Christmas.
DebSue, Congrats and did you have the alfredo? Yum! haha on the Andy Griffith shout out. We recently went through and AG marathon.
Kevin, Did you make it to the gym?
TJ, Great job walking to the Bell. I am fairly certain that I would do the same if the boyfriend did not take the car for work (other one is still out of service). Yesterday and today he made me a sandwich because as he says "it will keep you from munching on junk all day" Nice, huh? LOL Yesterday I did keep opening the fridge all day looking for munchies. He knows me well.
Chris, Way to go on the run and hope you had fun at game night.
John, WOOHOO on being certified!
Jen, A big HELLO to ya!
I am happy to report I was drinking my water this morning at 4:45 am. I was too tired to know what I was doing!
Strength training is happening this morning. Not sure what I will do yet. I messed up that training plan I was following. I crave structure, but fight it too. I will pick up heavy things and put them down. That is my plan! Did a boring walk on the treadmill yesterday. Should have just got my butt outside, but was in hermit mode.

Woo Hoo! We now have a Primal Blueprint Expert among us! Congrats John!!
DebSue- the Alfredo over Broccoli sounds like a winner. Posted the ingredients from Olive Garden's site for you on the carb nite FB post. All cheese & cream... so much better than all pasta & breadsticks!
Aaron- more prayers for your wife.
Chris & DebSue: did the water challenge & that week I felt great. Already drinking less again. Need to step it up!
TJ: I'm done for the Whole 30. Have always wanted to try it! Bathroom closet?? Ha! Wayne's World big time.
Kevin: sorry to hear about the funeral. Others are bigger things to focus on than diet on some days. (Hugs)
Jen: get better already!!!
I WANT LOOSER CLOTHES!!! (Feet stamping!!!)0 -
DebSue - Carol posting on the CarbNite FB page has helped me connect those two dots. Enjoy your trip to Olive Garden.
Can't wait to listen to the Heron & Arturo show!
Great, great job, John on the Primal Blueprint certification!!
Nice weigh in this morning. One pound down. I'll take that. Slow but steady.
Curious what I'll be on Jan 1 tho.... I plan on being fairly relaxed today through Christmas, and again on New Years Eve (hubs b-day in addition to the traditional). Mom arrives today, she want to try a local steak place, so that's on menu tonight. Easy to eat UL (ultra low carb) there, but they make the best roasted rosemary potatoes which I've avoided the last several times hubby & I went. Will have those tonight. And probably some sort of dessert on Christmas Eve. *And* considering making some type of monkey bread or similar for Christmas morning. Oh the horrors, baked goods, sticky sweet carbs in the morning.
But back to plan on the 26th. And AJ wants me to do a full reorientation starting Jan 1.

Weird... typed up a post, hit "post reply" and nothing. Huh...
Anyway, just checking in, saying hi, and hoping the next 8 hours fly by so I can start my time off! LOL
Looks like everything is doing well!
easmythcrna - hope your wife gets out of the hospital today!
hmrjmr1 - Congrats on the Primal Blueprint Certification!!
Carol - I also want looser clothes! (But apparently I'm not willing to work for it by eating healthy or exercising! LOL)

One other thing...I repost this annually to my blog on this day in rememberance of my father and as a reminder to the men in my life.

Get your prostate checked guys.0 -
Awesome deal and major congrats Hammer!
Kris, I did make it to the gym. A friend has a black card thing at planet fitness, so I went with him. Not real fond of the machines, I prefer the feel of free weights but it's still a workout.
Heron and Arturo, great podcast!0 -
Kris, my wife usually has the car during the day, so if I forget my lunch, I'm walking! There's a poboy place across the street that makes a pretty good and cheap chicken salad, but I just wasn't feeling it.
Carol, it's actually quite nice, lol. The clothes dampen echos and there being two doors and 2 rooms between myself and the dogs, there's less background noise.0 -
I think life may start getting back to normal a little. I put my daughter on a plane back to Germany this morning and i am back to work for the second day in a row. Still working on the diet thing I have to learn how to cook for myself again, tall order after 20 years.0
-
Kim, thanks for sharing your post. I am very sorry:( (((hugs))) out to you and I will try even harder to get the boyfriend in to get checked. Men need to realize that prostate cancer can take them quickly. It is not always a 20 year, slow growing cancer. Someone in my father's congregation is hospitalized for it right now and is expected to pass soon.0

Last day of the work week for me ... woo hoo!0

I will catch up with all the awesome posts.
Today my foster is going to his forever home. A fantastic family family came along and everybody just adores him. He will have a big brother that is just as playful as him. This is a bittersweet moment for me. I am happy for him but sad to see him go. He is a special dog. I rarely cry when a foster leaves but this one stole my heart! He came to us shy and unsure about the big bad world and he is leaving a gentle, inquisitive, affectionate, goofy, calm and happy dog.
Could we have kept him? sure! and he would have been happy with us. But I know he will be happier in a home where he has a sibling. This is the tough part with fostering, you have to take a step back and know what's best for THEM.
I will miss him so much!0 -
Thank you everybody for the well wishes. I'm feeling much better now. Another day of not really eating much but I did drink a lot of water.
Heron, sorry to hear you're losing the pup but good to hear that he's going to a good home. He is adorable, btw.
John, congratulations on the certification.
Carol, I think we all want looser clothes. I have so many in my closet in smaller sizes that I really want to be able to wear again.
Kris, I see you are going to do the challenge in January. I need to read about it again and perhaps I'll give it a try with ya (and everybody else who's going to do it).
