I have to add 300 calories of carbs next week. No extra fat or protein...just carbs. Lots of oatmeal and rice for me!
Yah I'm looking to add roughly 700 calories overall and a *kitten* ton of carbs. Seriously thinking of buying a bread maker and getting the carbs that way xD
Oh my! Homemade bread! But I wouldn't be able to refrain from smearing it with loads of butter.

Love it!
It should also say brushed my teeth & put on deodorant.
Last week on my 7th day in a row at work I almost walked out of the house without brushing my teeth & I actually did forget to put on deodorant. 2 -

I was thinking about this. You are going to have to either put up your calories, or lower your fat and protein to keep within the same amount of calories. You won't be able to increase carbs without changing your macros.
Shut up Lois and have another coffee1 -

You look so amazing!1 -
I confess that I have been sitting in the dark with just my desk lamp on for 30 minutes along with 2 other women. We are on overtime again and we don't like to light up the whole department before more than 3 of us are here. It's pretty obvious that we are here alone and security spends most of its night hours in the ED, which almost 1/2 a mile from my desk according to my fitbit.0

Pretty sure I rolled my eyes out loud. Then he began to ask me about my powerlifting, and he about lost his kitten when I told him I was currently on 50% carbs. He seriously asked me "What's the science behind that?" I thought, "You've got to be kidding me?!? You were just advocating the blood type diet to someone, and you want to know the 'science' behind mine?!?"
He's a really nice guy and a terrific chiropractor, but I won't be taking diet advice from him anytime soon.
Mine is like that too. Great at adjustments and all, but don't try and sell me the latest diet you are advertising.
Or essential oils, or...
I've always wondered why it's called essential oils. How have I made it this far through life without something essential!?
The linguist in me is assuming it refers to 'essence' but I like to be facetious.
My grandmother, born in 1894 & living in 3rd world Southern Appalachia, considered the plants they come from essential for healing. She was especially fond of chamomile, sage, ginger, peppermint and a plant called blood root. And jewel fern for poison ivy/oak/sumac.
She raised 14 kids in a house without electricity, with spring water,so and no money for doctors. All but two made it to adulthood, two of the adults are buried at Normandy. She knew her natural medicine. I would still rather eat the spices, but the oils have their value, I think and I would pay good money for a blood root plant. It's a natural clotting agent.
Well, there you go! Essential oils because they are essential.
Also, holy crap 14 children!
She had 6 when her first husband died in a coal mine. My grandfather's first wife died in childbirth having #5. They got married and had 3 together. By the time my mom was born in 1936, the three oldest were out of the house, but living nearby.
Oh, and I just realized that I typo'd Mammaw's birth year. It was 1897, not 1894.
They were kickass back in the day. My grandma was a tiny little woman who had 13 children and lived to 100. She was born in 1909 and didn't get to vote until after ww2. Always makes me appreciate what I have.
I love everything about this!0 -
They're gifts for manly men and they have to open a little wooden crate with a tiny pry bar to get to them. He absolutely loved it. I will do it again, just not the duct tape cocoon.0 -

Valentine's Day Trivia: Nearly 6 million people get engaged or proposed to today. This got broadcasted on the radio this morning, which turned into a giant rant on how diamonds and engagement rings are pure and utter BS because it is essentially a giant marketing campaign that took over society somehow
Well, I love my diamonds, and you're not going to make me feel bad about it. 3 -

Good luck and good for you for making the decision! Most of these ladies on here were by my side when I made the decision to go on meds, trust me you aren't a failure. Making that decision was the hardest decision I ever had to make in my life. 3 -
