....THIS is *kitten* awesome. I don't live near my kid sister, and I didn't even know her until 3 years ago, but I'm likely moving to where she lives so that we can get to know each other well and share some life experiences. I can't wait for stuff like this. Thank you, Steph, for the reminder to get my *kitten* together so this dream comes to fruition sooner than later.
I wish you well on that journey. It will be one of infinite discoveries and a whole new world of social interaction.
Great news!

102 days seizure free! Total NSV for me!23

I work 3rd shift but had training today during "normal" hours. Several people who hadn't seen me in a couple of months nearly fell over themselves when they saw me. I work in a prison, and even my Warden made it a point to come up to me and say something nice! One girl said, "I just can't stop looking at you and how skinny you are!!!" It was kind of a "Love Liz" day and it was amazing and wonderful. I'm about halfway to my "stop and reassess" goal, and I have apparently hit that point where others are noticing!11

Went shopping today, need short and capri pants for summer weather, I have undergrown my older stuff. I pick up size 10, 8, and 6 of each pair of pants. 10s, I can pull down without unbuttoning them. 8 those are just toooo baggy all over. 6s just right. Gotta love those NSV even when they hit your wallet.

Lol it's not so inspiring if like me you have elbows that look like "chicken bums" (that's what my brother used to call them because they are pretty sharp and have the same shape as that piece of roast chicken NO ONE fights for
.) 1 -
I was wandering around in the altogether, this morning just after taking my shower, and preparing to get dressed in my uniform... hubby says he spotted me and I nearly didn't make it in to work on time, today.... 10

I saw 5.4 on the estimated A1C with MySugr yesterday for the first time. I have been bringing this down slowly, but I was "stuck" at 5.5 for what seemed like an eternity.8

I am getting compliments from co-workers and a few questions as to what I am eating.
My Mom's friend sent me a private message on FB asking for details of my "diet"...lol.9 -
I just realized I haven had a migraine in two months! Started Keto in March. Used to have 1-2 migraines a month related to my cycle.15

I went to a work BBQ yesterday evening (yes, thank you, it rained cats 'n' dogs. That's traditional at a UK BBQ) and I ate, teo burgers, two sausages and a thin fillet of chicken, followed by a portion of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries smothered in thick cream.
I offered a similar dessert (it had a meringue 'nest' holding everything up) and she declined explaining "I can't, I'm on a Low Carb..."
I interrupted - "..High Fat/Protein Way of Eating.... right?"
She was ecstatic to finally find someone who was on the same page as her! She nearly whooped for joy!
She too has had to endure the familiar 'nay-sayers' remarks from colleagues, friends and relatives, that we have all, at one moment or another, been subjected to...
We sat and talked for about an hour. She's taken to a 'strict' Atkins regimen, but she agreed that she would never go back to the way she used to eat. She wants to lose 14lbs by the end of August. I told her "EEEEASY!! Stick with it, avoid/severely limit all carbs, and go by how you feel and look, as well as your weight on the scales."
I think she thought she had finally found a soulmate! TBH, she's not really huge or heavy - but she really wants to do this, and is more determined than ever. When I advised her to go by how she felt and looked, she admitted the trousers she was wearing were more loose than they had ever been.
So glad to have had a great talk with her. She feels less alone now. I gave her my number, in case she wants to text me....

My daughter used to delight in walking up to me and jiggling my belly - which was always kind of a poochy baby belly even at a healthy weight...she tried to do it the other night and informed me that she can't, no more jiggly belly for me!!!16

I've been on a work retreat for 2 days. I've been presented with cookies, pastries, chocolate, bread and criossants, desserts, potatoes and loads of alcohol - I have passed on all of it. It's been hard declining and not caving to social pressures to drink and party.. and to have Co-workers wave cookies in my face and laugh at me . I've been asked.. "you won't have one indulgence. .. not one thing? " and I simply say no.
I don't want to get into sugar addiction or food conversations or arguements with them.
But I do consider it a victory to get thru all of this cleanly and not cheat. No coworkers will get it. But here I'm sure folks will!

For me the NSV's have been: Better Sleep (no more snoring), Acid Reflux gone & More Energy than in a long time.3
-
My NSV is that in getting back to Keto, I notice the food cravings are gone, my mood is better, more energy for living the good life. And, by feeling less out of control, I just like myself better.
I know also, that in time my body will look better, I'll fit back into my summer clothes pretty soon, and that is all good.8
