  • @lindatcross1949 I sit my eggs on the trivet that came with the IP which will hold 6 eggs, add a cup of water in the bottom of the IP and cook on manual at high pressure for 7 minutes. I do a quick pressure release, and peel under cold running water. Perfect.every.time. I'm sure you can just pile the eggs in there if you…
  • There is a group dedicated to low carb/keto - Low Carber Daily Forum/The LCD Group. You can find it under the groups tab on the community page.
  • Agreed - I probably am type 2, even though the reporting lab's reference says pre-diabetic. I also know that those ranges can vary from lab to lab. My IM put me on metformin 500 mg, twice a day, at that point. I had an additional A1c drawn in 3 months that was 6.5. However, when the second A1c was drawn, I was very anemic…
  • Question for you experienced folks. I am pre-diabetic (a1C of 6.2). I purchased the Relion Prime glucometer to start tracking my own blood sugars at home. I completely forgot about calling to order control solution for my glucometer - - do I need to disregard the readings I have done before getting the control solution? I…
  • Yep - I found this out the hard way, when I went to see my internist because of feeling wiped out and literally falling asleep at my desk during the work day. Turns out I was extremely anemic and wound up in the hospital for testing and blood transfusions. The cause of my anemia was a small bowel bleed from ulcerations.…
  • I don't use a lot of SF syrups either, but I've found the Torani line to be quite good and usually readily available at your local big box store. You can also purchase them online directly from the company.
  • Truer words were never spoken! I have a coffee corner in my kitchen that houses my coffee maker, coffee beans, and a tray that holds my favorite coffee mugs, coffee grinder, and a decorative bowl to sit extra filters in. I also like to rotate seasonal mugs in and out, and one of my daughters does the same thing with…
  • ^^^^^^^This, plus other factors. We are small beef producers (~75 head of purebred and registered Angus mama cows). It's supply and demand, for the most part. Due to the droughts in various spots of the U.S. in years past, producers were selling down herds which creates low feeder numbers in the future. That drives up…
  • Thanks for your input. It should be interesting!
  • Yes, I log any non-step based activity, although that type of activity is relatively rare for me with the exception of chore-related things (carrying feed buckets, square hay bales, etc.) and then we're only talking about carrying and dumping 3-4, 20 lb buckets of feed twice a day, max, and moving hay even less than that.…
  • quote="amandarawr06;31384508"]I'd even recommend trying to wake up 30 minutes earlier and trying those workouts ^^.. it might be harder at first to wake up, but I find it easier to wake up early and work out compared to working out after a really long day.[/quote] ^ ^ ^ ^ THIS. I agree with getting up early. I have…
  • I'll watch this thread with interest - - I'm terrified of pressure cookers, too, having grown up with a mother who cooked frequently with a pressure cooker, and also watching kitchen disasters happen as the gaskets would fail and spew the contents of the cooker all over, including the ceiling! I do not own a pressure…
  • I have used the 3 Mega Miles DVD with the exercise bands for 2 years now, coupled with walking outdoors when I can and an occasional Gazelle workout tossed in. My daughter uses the 5 Mega Miles for cross-training when she trains for half-marathons. While I haven't had a huge loss of weight (due to my own food consumption…
