a waiting day

Watched this train for like 30 minutes... stuck there....

Someone went on an anti-binge, eh?

Same good ol' meat meat meat for me

I love it and would never want to give it up....

BUT - I must say, 

I am just now coming to terms with what it means....

Bottom is up indeed...

Sexy Bitches ONLY!!!

Tons of nuts all around

Job interview clothes... wish me luck

I love it when they do this!

a peaceful day (finally)

LoCarb Chili - 

 

Thanks, Becky - I made a double batch! 

Birthday bash food

All kinds of food - 

LoCarb HiFat is a very rich diet,

And I am seldom - if ever - hungry!

Lots of soup and stew - yum!

Lots of tea - not much coffee...

I have finally come to terms with the idea 

That I can not have the carbs I want - and eat them too! 

It only took nearly 4 years of wrapping my mind around it. 

Actually, I always knew it... 

It just took me this long to be ok with it!

Been Lazing around - watching You Tube videos,

And getting myself all sorted out....

After such a wild summer of working two jobs!

When you are short like me (5'2")

And older like me (52)

Even 5 pounds shows up (gain or loss)

And I am finally done lamenting that fact, too!

So - yay!

Lab work scheduled for Monday (manana)

To see what my summer indulgences did to me!

I am thinking a little Fructose (wine) might up the triglycerides.

I have had a few high blood glucose readings, too.

Might be stress, or even defective strips.

We shall see!

birthday funeral day

I spent all year taking care of a lady - on Hospice -

Who died 3 weeks ago. Now, her daughter died in her sleep, 

and her funeral just happened to be on my birthday.

The funeral was beautiful, but it was hard to hear

the little stories from the 20 year olds.

The whole room was a sniffling mess!

When they sang "It Is Well With My Soul,"

I felt like I surrounded by a college-level A Capella choir.

Incredible! 

I have had some time off and cook alot!

And now I am so full, I don't think I ever need to eat again.

The power of Atkins IS in the anti-hunger...

And the Dad of the girl went on Atkins!

He has trimmed down about 30 pounds

since the last funeral.

There was plenty of LC funeral food.

Genghis Grill gives you a free bowl on your birthday.

It was wild to be catered to in such a way! 

Gotta love it! I was queen for a day.

More Bone Broth - 

Moar Zoup.... I think I need moar Thermoses-es

To take to work!

Dang scale dropped me off in the same place

As I was year ago... I fluctuate in a (+/-) 10 pound range.

The official gain for the 6 months (of working 80 hours a week) 

Is a whopping 10 pounds fully dressed.

I tried to strip down at the Nurse's Station 

to get a better weight - but they were all like 

"Noooooooooo!"

That's ok... I have big plans!

Details to follow!
