    @Karensgettingherbodyback Welcome!!!

    Machka Your husband's recovery is breathtaking! Agonizingly slow at first, & now by leaps & bounds! It is so exciting. So glad for you.

    Dana. Your husband is punny.

    With my diet I'm amazed at how much more volume of food I can eat if I eat according to my macros. Yesterday for example I had two 6 oz servings of meat 6 deviled eggs 6oz of vegetables and original hidden valley ranch dressing plus macadamia nuts. That was under 1200 calories. And very importantly I lost 1.2 pounds in the last 2 days! Healthy foods have less calories than my coke and donuts!

    Great job Rebecca and Penny healthier foods are fantastic!

    I do have a problem getting my protein in! Those Starkist pouches, white albacore, and pink salmon are great, and I like how it's flat so I can just lay it on stuff. Whether it's a 12 grain bread, or was a crisp bread, or on a salad, it's perfect.
    My proteins are cottage cheese, all beans ( except black beans), and my meats are just condiments for a meal. An oz of kielbasa, or steak or chicken, but I just like it to flavor the rest of the meal. Eating a protein bar is helping me get my daily amounts. I got this!

    Rebecca- you are doing fantastic! You have found something that works for you! I don't use protein bars or shakes because most have over my carb limit in just one serving. I try to keep my carbs at or below 20g. For protein I eat eggs and meats like you and I don't always hit the amount I'm supposed to. My focus for Keto is 75% fat 20% protein and 5% carbs.

    Did Functional Intensity Training DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the deep water class.

    Dana – when you talked about the level it reminded me of something Vince did. Now, I have to say he wasn’t obnoxious. But when they were putting in the fence around the pool, after the workers left he went and held a level to each and every post. To be honest, there were quite a few posts that weren’t level. But he made sure they leveled them (much to their dissatisfaction). What a wonderful thing you did for Rebecca

    Machka – thank the Lord everything He has done and will continue to do for your husband. Now I’ll sing for you (good thing you can’t hear me) “rain, rain, go away, come again another day”

    Jackie – pretty soon hopefully I’ll be able to post a pic of the mushroom that I’m working on right now. Wish I had a steady hand for outlining, but I do the best I can. It doesn’t look half bad from 5 feet away….lol

    Lenora – when you spray the carpenter bees, what do you spray them with?

    Rebecca – congrats on the awesome weight loss. You’re going to fill up that bracelet in no time at all. Love your pics

    Karen – welcome! What an incentive!

    Penny – used to be that I wanted the whole cookie or biscuit, now I find that just ½ or even less of it satisfies me. And, oh, yes, I seem to crave veges and fruit (sorry, Mary, I know fruits are high in carbs, but I just can’t help myself). Even at breakfast! I find that I want less and less red meat

    I don’t know how I feel about a nude beach. I guess I would be willing to try it. But I may not stay very long…lol

    I like to keep those packets of salmon/tuna for down at the condo. Long shelf life and something that I don’t have to refrigerate, like if I opened a can of tuna and had just ½ of it

    Who just might have some Tone It Up protein and applesauce.

    :) I have been consistent in many areas of my healthy routine (drinking water, logging food and exercise, walking a lot of steps, etc.) but for haven't been good at remembering to the do the plank I want to do every day. Today I tried to remember by putting it on my "to do" list and it worked. So I'll try that again tomorrow.

    Wow, those are some crazy macros! I have always just followed what mfp had for me preset up. So it's 50% carbs, 30% fats and 20% protein. I'm in a totally different world than you. In my defense, my carbs are a slice of 12 grain bread, wasa crisp bread, truvia sugar blend, Kashi waffles, minute rice wild rice cups, so not a lot of white things.

    Just a quick share before bed tonight. I’m doing well. Staying on plan. Working through a few items on my to do list.

    Lost another dear relative. My cousin. A great fun loving guy who never failed to make us laugh. Quick witted and charming. He surprised us and made us laugh one last time. He requested a special song be played at the end of his funeral: The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens.

    This brought a lump to my throat, so sad but you have good memories :'(

    Lenora we had carpenter bees a few years ago we tried to fill the holes before getting them removed. We were told not to do this they will just create more holes to get out. Once they area is treated and you know they are gone. Then it is time to fill the holes.

    We did call a professional to get rid of them.
