@bradkcrew - I burst out laughing at your random planks! My daughter has forbidden me to have push up challenges with my 6 year old grandson at his bedtime. What is the matter with these kids? @jamcnewman - “loose freezer dried mysteries” - Seriously, I never know what they could possibly be! Pass days - it is interesting…

@LazyBlondeChef - Happy Anniversary @ashleycarole86 - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 🎉🎈🍾 I’m spending some time in a new place. I don’t know anyone. So if I get an invite to lunch or dinner, I go. Before this, I didn’t eat out very much. Now I’m eating out 1-2 meals a day. I’m looking at this month as an adjustment period. I’m…

@Mrs_Hoffer - she is precious! Congratulations! Tuesday, November 2 Tracking: Yes Calories: Over - left over Halloween candy - it is leaving the house today! Also, I am eating too many carbs. My autoimmune does not handle when my carbs are over 100 g a day and mine have been way over that for a few weeks now. I have to get…

@taurie - I have had an autoimmune disease for about 45 years now and there are many consecutive days/weeks that I just don't feel well. When my 3 kids were young and I was working full time, it was all I could do to take care of them, the house and work. There wasn't much me time. I felt that I was always just barely able…

My last post was October 20th. I knew adhering to the 3 goals would be difficult as I had to travel that week, got home 2 days before my second kid got married (lots of activity and many, many out of town relatives staying at my house or coming by for dinner), then traveling again last week through Saturday. I didn’t do…

Thank you. I’m sorry you as well and the transplant. I am thankful for the resolve and ability to learn as much as I can to help all of this through the right food, mindset, etc.

@MadisonMolly2017 - It’s so true. I was diagnosed with UC over 40 years ago. My docs all told me it had nothing to do with food - just stress and anxiety. Is the book Toxic Food Environment? I tried looking for it online but couldn’t find it.

@bradkcrew - I totally agree with you. Sometimes I think I can indulge in carbs and sugar for 1 day and then I go back to restricting them the very next day. Even though I only indulged the one day, It takes me 4-5 days for the cravings and hunger to stop. The rest of the time I am not hungry and do not crave carbs or…

@bradkcrew - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂🎁🎊🎈 NSV - I was taking care of my neighbor’s dog last week. When I went in one late afternoon to feed the dog, I accidentally left the key on their counter and locked myself out but didn’t realize until I was going back later that night to give the dog a stroll and to close the dog door. It…

In the past, I would try to come up with a plan for parties, get togethers, family meals, etc. I would stress and plan and plan and stress. Seldom, if ever, did I adhere to any of the plans. Then I would beat myself up. Then one year I heard myself think, “oh well, you messed up the plan so you’ve failed”, upon which I…
