    Katla "Janetr: Your granddaughter looks happy and YOUNG. How old is she?

    My granddaughter is very young, she's 18 and will turn 19 August 27. She finished her first year at college in May. I'm afraid now she won't go back. :(

    Karen in VA ~ So sorry to hear about your grandson's experience at camp. Camp is supposed to be a wonderful place. Prayers said that his future will be brighter!

    Katla - I don't know how much storage costs in the US, but it is very expensive over here. I would rather just get rid of stuff we don't need. DH is currently drawing plans of rooms on graph paper. :D One problem is we don't know the size of alcoves etc. We have requested a "measuring" visit for the 19th. We also are measuring the car. It fits in the garage, but you wouldn't be able to open the door. The parking space should be big enough though.

    Having chicken, lentil and spinach curry tonight, that I had to cook because of the freezer debacle. The other half of it is in the kitchen freezer. Having it with cauliflower, DH some rice as well.

    Rita - So sorry for your worries. :'(

    TV is all Wimbledon, in which I have even less interest than soccer. Grrrrrrrrrr! :s:#

    Good morning ladies!

    First of all - Rita you have been on my mind. Hope your DH will go to a specialist and get some professional input and saying prayers it's a simple treatment that won't interfere with your wonderful travels. It has to be a huge worry for both of you.

    Rye - sorry to hear about your toe! Taping, icing, elevating-sounds like you are on top of it. Sometimes we can get stress fractures. Or maybe you just pulled a teensy muscle or strained a ligament. Also thank you for posting the photo of your cute childhood schnauzer and cute brothers! <3 That pup looks like our schnoodle when she's past due for her groomer appointment - I like her with some curls and not shaved down to the skin too.

    Katla - so glad you are settling in and your pupster is doing well without the loud boomers close by. Kind of fun to meet fellow campers. Did you say a friend of yours was also camping at that park?

    Karen in VA     - What an aggravation for your grandson! GOOD GRAVY!!!! Do you think this due to a lack of supervision by camp staff or just kids running amok being kids? Yes, I don't know how they can stay in business if they allow this to go on.

    It's going to be close to 90 today, I was up early chopping veggies and have my version of "Progresso" lentil soup in the crockpot. Smells GREAT and should be done for lunch. Instead of spinach, I chopped up a handful of kale from the garden and some garlic scapes and threw them in there. Both the kale and garlic are volunteer.

    Also have been watching a lot of Michael Mosley Youtube and TedX presenters about fasting. Mosley mentioned in one interview that it's looking like with the 5:2 fasting, on the 2 days - cutting carbs WAY DOWN does the same thing as fasting. He didn't go into it much and it's just early trials.

    I also read a story about centenarians in the latest issue of WebMD in the doc's office. Something that jumped out at me - keeping a BMI of 27 is good. I'll grab that copy when I'm in the doc's office this coming Friday (they give them out) and read further.

    I've been back on track with 12/3 - sometimes taking it to 16/3 ( 12 to 16 hours between evening meal and first meal the following day). AND keeping less than 20 gm added sugar. Trying to keep at 50% mostly healthy fats (nuts, olive oil, avocado), 30% complex carbs and 20% protein. Seems doable so far.

    Happy 4th of July to those of you in the USA... for those of you in the UK, the sentiment is "Happy Treason Day You Ungrateful Colonists" lol. >:)<3o:)B)

    Lanette Now I’m off to look for the low carb 5:2 research. That sounds VERY interesting. Any particular TedX talks catch your eye on fasting?

    Rye - I will grab the tablet and see what all I watched, lol. I kind of let them automatically feed in after I rewatched Mosley's initial BBC special on 5:2 with Valter Longo and Mark Mattson who have done research on the benefits of fasting.

    I'm kind of extrapolating that for those of us over 65, fasting might not be the best way to go - but the low-carb 5:2 and 12/3 have merit. Main thing for me is to fix insulin resistance and keep toxic sugar overload out of my brain.

    Interesting factoid from a recent Dr. Greger's FB post - you can probably find it on his Nutrition Facts dot org web page - eating 4 Brazil nuts just once a month can really lower LDL! Very small human trial but was impressive. He said they are ultra high in selenium so don't eat them all the time, once a month was good and benefits seemed to last for a month.

    Lanette yes there is some research suggesting that fasting (full ffasting) post 65 might not be as beneficial but is there any research on the 5:2 type of restricted calorie day’s?

    Brazil nuts! When I started my diet I had one per week (again, b/c selenium) but stopped that. I might have to start that back up. I didn’t really like them, and kinda considered it to be like a once a week vitamin.

    Thanks! I think we are often looking at the same stuff :)
