Good luck!

Ummm...if those are on plan, please share the recipe!

How has nobody mentioned freakin' awesome dark chocolate yet? Or did I totally miss it?

Interesting. I'm going to have to track and see if mine starts dropping or not.

Teehee. In her list of comments from clients at the beginning is, "I finally succeeded in losing ten pounds."

OH, also taking the alcohol out of the fridge, because apparently I tend to go for it when I want something sweet or carby. NOT a habit I want to encourage.

Apparently, I drive myself to cookie dough if I try to track everything and do all the things at once. So, new goals: 1. Drink water 2. Eat food with less than 5 ingredients when it comes from the store (not including spice blends) 3. No HFCS. Sugar Dr. Pepper twice a week (requires that I get up and go to the store,…

OK, so it's another way to measure progress on the "healthy plan we already have in place." Or for me to determine if I need a new doctor!

For October 5: 1. 100 oz of water per day 2. <100g gross carbs per day 3. Walk >5 minutes per day. Elliptical counts. 4. Kettlebell/bodyweight/weight at least twice a week. 5. NO ^%#^$#%#@ $@#!$^#$^ Dr. Pepper. Earned 5 pumpkins, out of a possible 5. Weekly Total: 19 of 23 thus far...

We are, however, da bomb.

Fuzzy water should not be drank. Fizzy water is tasty.

What's the second series you're watching?

This! http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/pumpkin-swirl-cheesecake/ The crust she uses had coconut in it, but I was seriously planning to make it crustless next time. I didn't swirl it, just mixed the filling all together, and it was dang tasty. I made it in the tiny Mason jars and the ones I froze were still good (I ate them…

My goal for October is NONE. Hubby has been told to tell me no if I ask for one of his. :p

From Louise Hendon at the Keto Summit: But also, a quick update about the Encore Days. We've been very swayed by wonderful comments like "Jason Fung has changed my life" and "thank you for the interview with Dr. Cate because I consider her information on a whole other level and dispensed in a a real way." We really want…

I haven't used a Soda Stream and don't do diet drinks (I tend to react badly to aspartame, Ace K, and Splenda). I do, however, get the fizzy flavored waters, like LaCroix. I'd cut them out due to budget issues, but it might be time to sneak them back in.

I don't do diet. I might, every once in a long while, grab a Zevia soda (sweetened with stevia).

This definition is from Wikipedia: "The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed" The emphasis is mine. I think the biggest misunderstanding is that people ignore the part that a…

Uh, yeah. I do much better when there's no Dr. Pepper in the house, but that doesn't happen when the person sitting next to me has a 4-a-day habit!

OK, so I'd wandered off again for a bit. I'm not going exceedingly low carb, mainly because we're temporarily broke and using rice and beans to bulk out food. 1. 100 oz of water per day 2. <100g gross carbs per day 3. Walk >5 minutes per day. Elliptical counts. 4. Kettlebell at least twice a week. 5. NO ^%#^$#%#@ $@#!$^#$^…

I make chicken with gravy that's just chicken stock and arrowroot starch. I started calling it chicken snot because of the consistency. Hubby has requested I go back to using more normal thickeners for gravy.

Thanks! I'm still looking into the AIP diet.

Good luck! I tend to be the same way, but it's mostly due to depression. I'm trying to get out more as well.
