It's all done in humor. But how is Charlie Chaplin, singing in gowns and striking the same pose in swimsuits demeaning? As for the boxing scene, the way I interpreted it is that she has won the battle. Hey if it was me I would dress the old me in dragon costume on the ground and the new me would be in some flowy greecian…

John, great post! Very informative. I've already had an idea of TM, talked to people who had done it and I am not interested in it due to my various ailment: reading yours really confirm that it's not something that I'm willing to attempt. Not that I think it isn't fun or challenging. Just not worth me getting hurt. Heck…

Jen great post! And never feel embarrassed for speaking from your heart. <3 Although I am not a mom,( what moms go through I can't even nor even want to compare! hats off to all moms) Arturo surprised me by taking me out on a date he calls it "doggy moma day" LOL He knows that I've been a little stressed taking care of 3…

Angela, thank you so much for all the info. I wanna know more!! the 23andme includes the BRAC gene mutation. I so agree that genetic variability can be used in choosing drug therapy and dosing, since based on out genes we process chemicals differently. For example: you hear some people say when they consume cannabis they…

Kevin, may God grant your family peace and strength through this incredibly difficult times. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

hope you can figure out what is affecting you. Recently I realized that I am sesitive to eggs. Wtf!! But I can tolerate pastured eggs. So you are right about what the animals are eating affects us. I personally love the taste of pastured pork. They are so good! I don't know what your freezer situation is, but if you buy a…

Just catching up, seems like a few of us had setbacks :( Which reminded me of what Kim said a few weeks ago about end date "challenges" or diet. Whole 30 is great don't get me wrong, but I think that is meant to help someone change their eating habits for the better? Correct me if I'm wrong;) So if we go back to the old…

Kim, love your Derby picture, nice dress! very classy and timeless. Welcome Sbuzzard Angela, I don't think there is a huge difference in USA.. I could be wrong. But even in US you have to push for certain blood work. You are your own advocate. Nobody is going to care more about your health than you! There are independent…

Hi Kim, Oh I envy you! When does a girl get to wear pretty dress and gorgeous hats in the U.S except for the KY Derby? LOL And yes, hats have always had their own suitcases. ;) Yes, you get the raw data and a company prometheaus analyze the data and compiled it to a relatively user friendly report. It cost $5 and 10-20min…

Kelly: Yep those days everybody has that ;) What can you do.. Shrug.. When I start feeling more annoyed than I should, I always tell myself "first world problem" Having no clean water or food now that's a problem.. LOL Carol, I can't wait to meet you and everybody either !! Yay! Jen, you coming? Air B and B and VRBO is…

Kelly, I agree with everybody, no matter where you go, grilled protein and vegetable are common. And always ask if you are not sure. If its a chain, check out the ingredients on their website.. But yes, I always ask to substitute starch for veggie or tell them not to bring out the bread basket. If you are upfront, and…

Carol, I was telling Arturo to tell you that you look Awesome, lean and fit and I agree with Kim Caroline and you are tiny. And I don't mean height, I mean body frame wise. But, I totally get it that everybody feels comfortable at different weight.( And you might be tired of people telling you that you don't need to lose…

I'm still trudging along. Enjoyed the updates and pictures from Arturo. Suffered a day of migraines yesterday, when the pills kick in its just enough where I don't feel like I want to dunk my head in ice water.. Yesterday reminded me of one thing, when I was doing CNS, my migraine almost stopped. See, I know the benefits…

Carol, John and Kim, hope you guys have a blast! Kim, yep I had no idea that a change in diet had so much effect on my mental capacity.. It's pretty amazing and a lil scary. I'm in relative good health anf of sound mind and a few months of eating regular carbs (and I'm not even what a typical American eat for carbs) can…

As to the scale.. I think it's really up to the person. So I'm no help LOL Kim, congratulations!! that is huge! Have fun at Paleo Fx. I shall see you guys in Vegas! I'm doing ok, clothes still fit. Whew. Life has gotten busier when 3 extra dogs. Some days I feel that I am just managing fur, food and waste for the family.…

Jen, yeah it sucks! This fat loss thing ain't easy. Keep going!! But find out what made you lose your motivation that'll help. Kelly, what a trooper but I think you should just chill and relax this whole weekend. No plans. You might be feeling like you got this flu cold beat but if you don't give yourself enough bed rest…

Quick frustrating check in. Got bit earlier on my right hand by the ex foster that we are babysitting. I was trying to brush him (It's my mistake for being complacent.) He has issues hence we are the only ones that can babysit him. It's not the first time that he's bit me. He bites hard not a warning bite but with intent…

Angela, thanks for the recommendations! :D Kim, be sure to give us a review of the book ;) I'm not really logging my food right now... And I am liking it! LOL But I know I have to start at some point if I want to lose weight. But hey, at least I'm maintaining.. I think.... And you are right, I had a thing going I was doing…

John, I think it's great that you are feeling better and any loss is better than none. Mark, yep I've noticed that there has been an increase in interest in the whole GF thing. And better quality are out there. I know I am sensitive to gluten/carbs? I get headaches/migrane/bloat after eating pastry. I am going to try GF…

Kim and all parties interested in gluten free baking. check out this article. https://www.yahoo.com/food/how-one-diners-tears-sparked-a-gluten-free-115868860741.html When my flour is all used up I'm gonna try that then, I'm going to try other brands. I just realized that I enjoy baking which sucks for someone on low carb…

Angela, maybe you can add "driveway sprinting " to your routine ;) I bet just once a day can make a difference. Had a great time catching up with a friend today we spend the day making empanadas (beef and chicken,) white chocolate macadamia nuts cookies, chicken pot pie in puff pastry and mix berry turnovers. By the way…

Kelly, try those planks. and there are variations of planks that makes it harder or easier. If you have a wrist there are ways around it as well. I'm making empanadas, chicken puffs and berry turnovers with a friend tomorrow. So I'll be busy doing all the prep today. I'll make a tradition 64 fold puff pastry dough today…

Ahh, the dreaded belly fat... I read that where your body decides to store fat had to do with hormones. That's why a lot of women's' body starts to change as we age. Due to the change in estrogen and testosterone, the fat get redistributed. Also if you have a c section scar, you will always have a pouch. I think the best…

John, yes California is in a historic drought :( we did not get the much needed snow melts melts this winter as well. Farms will be hurting. The water restriction won't hurt us since all they are doing is raise prices if you go pass a certain number. Which I think is total BS!!! We have been doing our part in water…

Carol, yes we are, but just to cheer you guys on and socialize ;) we are not running it. Good luck in Chicago and stay safe.

Kelly, have fun shopping for a smaller size it's a great feeling! And at the range! The potato debate in the paleo community... Someone please correct me if me if I'm wrong since I'm lazy to google it :tongue: potato is native to South America and the native there have been cultivated potato for thousands of years and…

Kim, what a great feeling! Hooray! At the height of my CNS days I was like that. And it just goes to show how introducing huge amount of carb even if it's only 6 weeks can set you so far back. Not just with weight but eating patterns. Well, I guess we are suckers for more troubles.. lol a husky was hit by a car with a…

Stacy, that's some mad will power! By the way even though I haven't been posting I have been reading all you guy's post. I should've just post things as I read them. Things have been going well. I am not fully back to ULC but I've been staying in the 50-120g range on most day. Still walking and doing PT semi regularly. My…

Tom, big congrats on your recovery!! Kim, well put! My relationship food is not good. I've only become aware of food relationship I think 4 years ago.. I grew up with you have to finish your plate and just bad eating habits. A lot of times I would get so busy that I don't eat and then I would binge. If I grew up here I…

Welcome back Tom. How's your shoulder? ( is it shoulder? I don't remember which body part) X ray of my foster came back good, his healing is on track so yay! It's such a trip to see the x ray. The plates and screw are bigger than I had imagine. You can definitely tell one leg is thicker due to the plate.
