    All going well with one caveat: I need to eat a lot more carbs than I ever thought if I want to exercise. Yeah, I know my body doesn't really access fatty acids when I exercise, and lately I've eaten a lot more protein and fats at the cost of carbs - and my exercising suffered badly. Also didn't really lose a lot of weight as I was constantly hungry and are more. Now that I'm eating more carbs again running works, and I'm able to lose weight again. So yeah... looks like I truly am a carb person.

    Welcome to the dark side. I mean, the bread and sweets side. :flowerforyou:

    Totally! I love bread (and sweet things). <3 I thought eating more fats and protein would work after all. Turns out it was a lot worse than I imaged. Hmpf...

    I didn't go back and look, but wasn't this the thread you started with, "I ate all the goodies on my trip and lost weight." :lol:

    I dunno, I'm a super-fan of carbs. I just discovered black raspberry and chocolate chip gelato.

    Someone needs to tell me though, are black raspberries the same as blackberries?

    Haha, might very well be! I walked an awful lot and needed very little food. So much gorgeous bread and pastry in Armenia!

    Uh, I honestly never heard of black raspberries to be honest. They look a bit less bubbly than blackberries... thus might be something different. Looks yummy though. Carbs rule!

    At the risk of slightly high jacking the thread, I got given some raspberry canes last year. Turns out they are… golden raspberries! Never knew they existed. Quite sweet and delicate, not as robust in flavour or keeping as the usual red, and apparent incredibly expensive to buy. I’m happy to keep scoffing them as a fellow carbie 😀

    My raspberry patch has the dark red ones and the blond ones. They are both really delicious. I need to get out and do my annual maintenance on them, but I'll wait until next month. For now I have two more fig trees, a cherry tree, two pear trees, and a plum to get to. And grapes.

    Guys, I love berries! I can get masses of red and black currents here, and gooseberries, both super rare in other countries I've lived before but that's pretty much it apart from strawberries and blueberries. Me want moar berries!

    So yeah, had a super stressful day yesterday. 4.5hrs drive to surgeon (the reason why I want to lose a bit), same back, crazy traffic on the roads. I think my HR slowed down to normal some time between 2 and 4 this last night. Honestly, I prefer to take the train but they're on strike. Anyway, look on the scale this morning: wow, looks good! And I'm sure there's still a lot of driving car and stress water weight included.

    Mega envious of your fruit haul! I moved house last year and left behind all my fruit trees and bushes - having to start from scratch.

    @yirara, do you have a Windows computer? Today's bing tidbit that comes up in the Start search is "Can you name this animal?"... and the thumbnail is your avatar image.

    Of course I had to clickety it!
    It just takes me to a bing search of images, not sure if anyone is even interested: AND it opens the Edge browser, which I don't like. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Leaf+sheep+nudibranch&setlang=en-us&cc=US&form=SHKNCH&cvid=87fbbec0afad46718d8f1bd48e3d6364&nclid=B6AC6B8DB01D75C5E920EAAC09E9EE33&ts=1706702404825
