Well Kim, that's what happens when I need that 'recovery time' from being away (remember, I don't travel as much as you). As for the meat, I hadn't really been 'off of it' for that long (maybe a few weeks). Not having a gall bladder anymore, I was told that high fat foods could cause some issues. Most of the meat I would…

Good morning everybody. Phew! Slept through my alarm this morning. Heck, I think I slept more than 8 hours last night, straight through! :tired_face: It's Wednesday. That is all...

No worries Heron. I'm still learning. :smile:

I apparently left off the 'pastured' part. I'm doing my best. We have local farmers that sell at the farmers market, so I'll be checking with them this weekend to see how their animals are raised. I'll check out the link as well. Thanks so much. So happy your foster pups have new forever homes now but I'm sure it's…

YAY Cynthia!!! BTW, today I started as well. I messed up yesterday as I wasn't completely 'with it' after my flight. :tired_face: So today is Day 1 for me as well. Let's Whole30 and jaunt together. I'm going to go get some ghee after work and see what it's all about. Also taking some suggestions from Kim and Heron…

Good morning everybody. I am all out of sorts. Crazy two hour time difference already wreaking havoc with me. But hey, gotta get back to the regular routine. Getting ready for work. WAKE UP EVERYBODY!!!! :tongue:

Well lucky you Kris! I refuse to go through the body scanners, which is why I always have 'date' at the airport now! :wink: :love: We're not going to let you give up!!!! Hey, if Carol and crew didn't kick ME out of here, I'm quite sure you're safe. :) We got this, right????

Good morning everybody. Another 'successful' groping courtesy of the TSA. Today we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep our country free. It's a shame hat so many freedoms that were fought for have been lost, all in the name of 'security'. Today I'm restarting my Whole30 journey. Jen's Jaunts will be…

Happy Sunday everybody. Last full day in Arizona. Kinda want to stay for the week but guessing my boss might have a bit of an issue with that. :smile: Oh well. Another fab day on the horizon. Need to find a good breakfast place. Have a great day!!! John, wonderful speech and I want to thank you for all you've done in…

I couldn't have watched it today as I was out and a about. Glad you were able to get everybody together. Of course I didn't get he video shared put for you. I'll do it Monday when I get home.

You guys having the podcast this weekend?

Good morning!!! Where the heck am I? Oh right, the desert. Hehehe..... Time to get up and figure out what I'm doing today.

What a wonderful afternoon. Flight here, eh.... Got to meet the creator of the NORB who I already knew was awesome from having her on my live show. She somehow knew who I was in the airport. Wonder what gave me away. ;) Carol, sinful night for me as well, topped off with the bestest dessert created, tiramisu. Sometimes you…

Happy Friday everybody. Sorry about not being around the past two days. Getting ready to head out to the airport for my trip to Arizona. Excited about getting to meet some wonderful folks. Have a great Friday!

Kim and I did listen to Carol's interview of Ben and I caught his comments about fruit. Doesn't mean I like it! I've seen fruit as a way to keep me off of the processed sugars and sweets. Again, lots of things to think about and put into action. My last blood test wasn't too bad (yes, my triglycerides were higher than…

Well I got a 40% on that test (still believe 3 of the 5). :smiley: I got past the whole low fat is healthy and the calorie counting things. I still have a long way to go. Darn it all on the fruit though. That's my go-to thing when I actually am doing what I'm supposed to do. Hmmmmm

Yes Kim. :tongue:

Kim, feel free to jump in whenever I post anything on FB and you have an opinion. Hey, I can take it! :smile: My sleep had been much better lately so Sunday night was a bit of an anomaly (although I have a pretty good idea what caused it). I've been taking in everything here and still trying to figure out what I'm going to…

Good morning everybody. I slept last night!!!!!! :smile: Carol, don't tell Kim I didn't sleep Sunday night. She'll yell at me and go on her 'sleep is important' rant (love ya Kim!). :tongue: Heron, Taiki is beautiful. TJ, I'm with ya. I've got to get through my Arizona trip and then I'll be back on my Whole'xx' journey.

Morning everybody. It's Monday and I've been up since 8:00 yesterday morning (well, I did get maybe an hour of sleep last night). So it's going to be a looooooooooooooooooong day. Kelley, thanks for sharing pictures with us. Looking fab and that is so awesome that you're down so many pants sizes. Rock on!!!!! Carol, thanks…

I posted this in John's Whole30 FB group but wanted to post it here too. I'm taking a week off of Whole30 but will be starting back next Monday. I wanted to ask those who are doing it what kind of snacks do you keep handy. I'm trying to find some things, other than nuts, that I can keep at my desk at work or in the car…

Good morning everybody. John, glad to hear your stomach bug has gone (or at least you feel better).

Thank you John. Sorry to hear you're not feeling well (tummy bugs are no fun). Hope you feel better soon.

I posted the first Tough Mudder Chicago video. This one contains the chats that Carol and I had before and after the run. youtube.com/watch?v=8NQIxERnECM

Happy Saturday morning! First off, I apparently am not the sharpest knife in the drawer. YOU CAN'T HAVE CHEESE ON WHOLE30!!!! GRRRRR!!!! So starting over AGAIN! Honestly, I'm going to wait until next Monday (Memorial Day) as I'll be in Arizona over the weekend and I just don't see myself doing the best job at sticking to…

Yes, Carol is a Tough Mudder rock star!!!! Heron, that's wonderful that one of your fosters has a new home. YAY!!!! I started working on the video from the Chicago TM. It won't be any good, so keep those expectations low. :wink: I didn't get a lot of footage but Carol and I did some talking before and after that I'll…

John, I'm guessing the heavy armor didn't help the knights either. :smile:

Morning everybody. Friday and I'm sitting at work. GRRRRRR. Listening to Jake's podcast and he did a quick synopsis of his TM. The other guys of course are giving him grief for needing help getting out of the water after the walk the plank. Hehehe... I'm with you Carol. I will definitely be spending money on shoes and…

Thanks for all the great info Heron. I had to laugh about the high impact bras. I have NOTHING up top to even worry about. :smile: I'll definitely be searching around for things in the next few weeks. I have wider shoulders as well.

it is Kevin. Try 3 or 4 months of not caring. :wink:
