06.20.2015- Misc thoughts.
Good morning ladies and gents!!! Hope this finds everyone doing great and enjoying their weekend. I'm currently at work. (BOOOHISS), but I only work one weekend every 3 weeks and I get off a day during the week, which helps with appointments for doctors, dentist, and just a mental health break.... Sometimes you need that…

06.22.2015- Thankful post
Thanks Carly for reminding me that we need these also. Today I am thankful for orbitz original gum. Taste great and kills the urge for "sweets" also can't eat sweets after chewing it... they taste gross.

06.22.2015- ramblings from the weekend
Good morning ladies and gents!! Hope everyone is doing well. Well work on Saturday is over. I went to Reggie's sisters b'day party right from work. Didn't have any alcohol (YEAH ME!!!). All in all, I'd call this weekend a success as I made the effort to choose healthier foods and am now truly listening to how my body feels…

06.16.2015- ramblings again
Good morning ladies and gents!!! OK..... this LCHF stuff is hard. I did so GOOD yesterday at work, but when I got home from work... all HECK broke loose. While at work, I concentrated on work and not food... when I got home... my back was killing me (to the point I took a pain pill, 2 muscle relaxers and got into bed at…

06.17.15- forgot to post yesterday
Good afternoon ladies and gents!!! Hope this finds everyone well and enjoying the day. Well day 1 of keeping track of foods and moods/energy without trying to really follow any special type of LCHF food plan was eye opening. I found that yesterday I ate because I was upset with Reggie, bored, because food was present,…

06.15.15- Ramblings
Good morning ladies and gents!! Hope everyone had an excellent weekend. Mine was weird. I really wanted to take the weekend and concentrate on nixing the carbs. YEAH, didn't happen. I think starting a LCHFMP program today may be easier for me since I spend most of the day at work and most of my eating is done at work. I…

MIA
hey ladies and gents!!! Sorry I've been MIA for a long time. I'm still here plugging along. I've been posting in the morbidly obese and LCHF groups. I'm trying (sometimes it feels unsuccessfully) at doing LCHFMP. This weekend I was suppose to concentrate solely on recipes and LCHF foods. That went bust by 1230 Saturday…

06.12.2015 tired and fuzzy
Good morning ladies and gents. Hope this finds everyone well. I stayed up last night watching the Warriors beat up on LBJ and the Cav's. I'm not a LBJ fan, so I was excited. I'm a bit tired this morning (close to afternoon). I actually just took a caffeine pill as I shouldn't be drinking soda nor coffee. Plus I can't stand…

OMG- carbs are not my friend
Carbs are definitely not my friend, but gosh do they taste oh so good. I was stressed this weekend and found myself turning to carbs (what a surprise-NOT). Not sure where the stress came from. Nothing on the home front and nothing with Reggie. Just stressed, like something is wrong. So TODAY is day 1 low carb. I'm not…

How do artifical sweetners
Affect you???? Good morning ladies and gents. I have been drinking massive quantities of water with mix-ins. I have found that certain flavors are triggering cravings- Crush strawberry seems to squash the cravings, but Hawaiian Lemonberry triggers cravings. I'm sharing this, as this really has hit home. I was wondering why…

Fat bombs
Hey everyone. This may be the dumbest question of the day.....I found fat bombs, but everything has some form of coconut in it. I'm allergic. Anywhere else I can find recipes for fat bombs without the use of coconut?? Thanks in advance!!!!

Carb Flu??
I've read various articles on the carb flu. Is it possible for the carb flu to make you physically ill. (IE. throwing up)?? I kept my carbs to <60 g yesterday and got so deathly ill last night, thought I was going to die. I was so pleased at the end of the day to see how well I did. I was truly impressed with myself. Not…

What I am not doing
Based on some info from Carly, (Hey hun).... for the next couple of days I am going to concentrate on just getting in my protein, fat and magnesium, sodium and potassium. I've been waking up every single night with horrible cramps in my legs and feet and ankles. I've been concentrating so hard on counting cals, that I…

05/22/2015- today I am looking forward to:
Good morning Ladies and Gents!!! I thought I'd do something different this morning. Instead of celebrating the NSV's that we have, I think we should say what NSV's we are looking forward to. Be it a size down in clothes, fitting into the special jeans you've been saving all this time... Throw out the ideas you are looking…

05/14/15- a little different today
Good morning ladies and gents!!! Seems like we are all doing extremely well with recognizing the NSV and celebrations each day. Today I want to switch things up. Today I want to reinforce why we are all on this journey. What makes us get up and push forward each day with new resolve. For me, I'm exhausted all the time.…

I know there is like an 8 hour time difference, I believe, between you and I. Just want to wish you all the best tomorrow/Saturday. I truly hope you achieve everything you want and do AWESOME. Which I know you'll do. Let us know how you make out. Know that your friends in the U.S.A. are cheering for you. Lots of hugs and…

06/02/2015- Today... a bright new start
Good morning ladies and gents!! Today is a brand new day. A time to start anew. Yesterday, I watched my carb intake... but still allowed myself to eat semi normal....what I found...Carbs are HUGE in my life. The only true carby food I ate was 6 Annie's dumplings since Reggie made chicken and dumplings for dinner. But at…

06/01/2015- Today is a new beginning.
Good morning ladies and gents!! Today is a very new beginning for me. As I sit here and reflect, I feel as though the first 124 days since surgery has been a HUGE blur. Now, it's time for me...(me and Reggie since he's having the sleeve sometime this summer).. My mother cooks the most unhealthy meals, mostly processed…
