All around town

Great find, Kathryn!

I thought it said Rare Bones

They found you, Splinter

Dallas traffic and roads - looks like a war zone here

Still getting things done

Is it my imagination, or does Home Depot play 

Some really good songs?

Still dropping weight like a bandit-

About a half a pound a day.

I keep pinching myself to see whassup!

Took the Holiday Weekend off 

Before I start my new job,

And Sally's Beauty Supply gave me this awesome bag.

Because they want me to keep being a Blonde.

Cleaning with my buddy Mr Clean

Bacon Bacon is everywhere

Now they tell us it's ok.

WE already knew that!

Paleo is changing everything!

Low Carb people already knew this.

Just to clarify -

I am not Paleo - I tired that phase, and gained!

12 pounds of pure solid muscle and a little extra.

Plus, I do have dairy. (Primal?)

And artificial sweeteners. Can't do the Carby Sweeteners.

I call it "Atkins!"

Love this dog

How beautiful to be back to blogging!

And doing well!

I quit drinking wine in halfhearted effort

Back in March.

Then I got really serious about the 20 pounds I had gained.

The other day, I had some wine, and it was awful!

I thought it had gone bad or was actually kerosene.

It was just not good. 

So yeah - might be done with that phase.

Yay!

Oo - look! 

My thoughts are evolving again!

From a deep Primordial Ooze...

To Chaos.... to (fill in the blank)

Some people don't trust the government to lead us 

down the right nutritional path.

Maybe the findings are a bit "outdated."

And scientifically "controversial."

Everyone is looking for the perfect (elusive) diet.

And not just looking to blame when the damn thing fails.

Some people are actually looking to heal.

Does one size really fit all?

This is Marni Nixon.... the sweetest voice in Hollywood....

The "Ghostess with the Mostess!" Miss Marni actually sang

the songs that were dubbed in later - West Side Story,

My Fair Lady, The King and I - to name a few.

Not to be confused with Richard Nixon.

Same name, right?

What's in a name, after all?

It just some words on a page.

IF it doesn't make sense in "real life."

The point of the story is this:

Get your facts right.

So what is it now?

The other day, I took out my trash...

Coffee grounds, egg shells, a cream container,

some sweet potato skins, a few salmon cans...

And my first thought was about my Mother (of all things)....

And how the contents of my trash can

looked so much like hers might have looked!

I guess I finally went back far enough

to a diet that Mom would approve of!

She cooked everything from scratch - never a box.

She didn't like chicken and thought of herself 

as a foodie!

SO - all this debate and carrying on....

I can barely abide it sometimes!

Especially from non-medical people.

I admit, I am biased. BUT, just to be fair - 

the medical experts are worse!

So yes. 

If Paleo People REALLY understood the importance of 

the Omega's - would they ever eat chicken again?

Or nuts? Or Mayo? No. They would not. Maybe just not alot.

Maybe not ever. Or maybe if they just like 

a good chicken, walnut, mayo salad - they would!

I put my food choices and Omega 6 up every day 

for all the world to see. My ratios are just about 1:1.

Sometimes 2:1.

If the data is to be trusted in the first place!

My diet is far from perfect - 

and I don't even call myself Paleo/Primal - for gosh sakes!

But I never claimed to "follow" Atkins....

The more I read - the more I love of him!

It seems so confusing sometimes - the only logical

choice is to stop listening completely!

But don't dispair! Just eat real food.

As much as we can.

Maybe start with that.
