@Kirkor will do!

I made a table for the 36 days of my own challenge and I've been checking off two things: taking my Vit. D and my fish oil daily, and getting that 10 min. walk in after dinner. I've missed one night thus far, but I've set my goal as 30/36 nights, knowing Stuff Happens. I'm making a stew tonight with lamb necks, carrots,…

Wow...this is awesome, @retirehappy and @Catawampous ! I LOVE your company! I think for my reward, I will buy myself a fitness monitor, one of those steppie thingies, like a vivofit or whatever. Then I can go for my 10K step goal! For now, what is awesome is that marching around for 10 minutes by the clock after a meal is…

That's awesome! Keep me posted! It was ridiculously easy to march around vigorously for 10 minutes after dinner. And I took my 60 minute walk in the morning. AND I made a delicious casseerole: cauliflower crumbles, some shredded carrots, chopped fresh parsley baked in a mixture of eggs, sour cream, and parmesan cheese.…

A couple of things on my mind this morning. First, I am THRILLED to report that I walked for 60 MINUTES this morning. What made that happen? First, I walked with a friend. Second, we walked the rail trail just behind my house. It was lovely---no need to think about direction or traffic---just walk in a lovely natural…

I just want to say I ate a delicious dinner. Zoodles cooked in butter and garlic, and Garlic Knot Chicken Wings. Totally yummy.

Ha! In my house, my LCHF goodies never disappear, but huge sub sandwiches and large bags of chips mysteriously appear. Thankfully, I am immune to the particular goodies this CARBAGE fairy leaves in my house.

I also am healing from years of over-the-top stress and illness. And one thing I can tell you is to be gentle with yourself as you change your eating habits. Allow yourself to learn new things without beating yourself up for mistakes. You must be a very strong and courageous woman to have liberated yourself from an abusive…

Oh, I am Nosey, too! I nose around ya'lls diaries and I check out the photos of LCHF meals!

I went to an open house party today with a TON of food and drank some black coffee. First time a party was all about the people and not the food! SO happy with that!

Wow....@Sunny_Bunny_ I wish I could tattoo that on my wrist!: "Snack on body fat between meals"!

Going to cook the cabbage that's in my vegetable bin today! (Read the diet chapter! Fascinating!) Rosey

Awwwwww, thank you*

Here I am! I fell off the LCHF wagon. Feh. Here's what happened: I came across a cookbook called the HUNGRY GIRL CLEAN AND HUNGRY cookbook. The photos----oh, man, the food porn! First thing I made? Hungry Girl brownies. They didn't even pass the "why, bother" test but they were BROWNIES! I suddenly decided that my…

I'm back here on the forum after a week of a not-good experiment. I was looking through a cookbook "Hungry Girl's Clean and Hungry" cookbook, and all of a sudden, I decided that if I controlled my calories, I could eat anything, justifying it to myself that if I lost scale weight, it would be fine no matter how I did it…

Sorry to hear about the destruction you've suffered, but very happy you are ok!

Yes, thanks for the tip, @Catawampous! I was thinking walking home from the studio that I would like to feel this way every day. Tomorrow: big leap---two laps around the neighborhood, a 50 min. walk.

I LOVE YOGA!!!! Seeing how powerful a blood sugar regulator activity is....I added 10 minutes to my walk today and took an hour gentle yoga class. Now granted, it was VERY gentle, and a better intervention for stress management than strength building, but I LOVED IT! It was so relaxing, and I walked out of there feeling…

I haven't tried carbquick but I did try products made with similar ingredients (Low Carb Bakery) and it made me very sick. But I have an autoimmune condition, so maybe the vital wheat gluten did me in.

I'm one month in. I've lost six pounds, and I've learned things about my blood sugar, mostly that my most significant readings are my fasting morning sugars, not after meals. My fasting morning readings have gone from 104mg% to between 80 and 84mg%. Everything's not perfect yet, but this is a fabulous start. Rosey

Wow...that coffee protocol sounds YUM.

Ok, when I saw the title of this post, I thought you were talking about rubbing curry on your thighs......to avoid chub rub...:(

Plan for tomorrow: pool exercise! Friday---trying yoga. Tomorrow morning check FBS.

Today: 197 lbs.

I was a Crossfit instructor (for a brief while) and a long distance cyclist. Now you can see from my profile pic I can hardly stand up straight from my spine surgeries and ongoing autoimmune arthritis. I have to work moment to moment on facing my losses when I exercise. Yes, I know that was then and this is now and I am…

It's really difficult right now, my relationship with exercise. I mean, here's what I looked like at age 52, just 9 years ago:
