RES Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ivy is back!! Invigorate - Walking - Every day, outdoors if possible - Work in garden or something creative at least once a weekVariety - Yoga - 2 days a week Yearning - Homework - Want to finish school so I can move on to better things...want to start this AFAA course that I signed up for last challenge two challenges ago and see where that leads Doing the Daily Dare PVP, hope to get bronze again, I tried for silver last time but too much of it was beyond my ability. So much happened last challenge...my wife lost her job, we're getting the house ready to rent out and going to get an RV Trailer to live in (can't wait!! I'm so excited!!) We do have a lot of work to do and a little time to do it, hopefully by the time I finish my course we will be ready to go back to Florida! We are tearing up the carpet, laying laminate flooring, finishing the kitchen, cleaning up the yard, getting the outside painted and some minor fixes, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something in here...as well as looking for a truck to finance for a reasonable amount (because her's is too small) and trailer to purchase within our budget... My oldest son is getting married in June - I make candles and am doing the centerpieces for them My nephew is graduating high school in June - Which means I have to deal with my family, Goddess give me patience because if I have strength I'll hurt someone We plan on being out and the house rented July 1st Not happy with weight loss right now, it seems no matter what I try nothing is happening...I don't 'cheat' or go over calories that much or that often, I stay in an activity range that should have me losing weight, but I'm not, doesn't seem to matter what I do one way or the other, I stay in the same 5 lb range....I'm wondering if it's the fact that I don't have a gall bladder, which is about the only thing I haven't looked at since my hormones are dealt with, sleep is as good as it's ever been, and it seems to be about the time that it was taken out was when I started having trouble, which was the same time I went Paleo. Going to try a couple of things this go around and see if it helps, Ox bile is one of those things, if anyone has any suggestions or has dealt with the same problem I'd love to hear if you found a solution! 18 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: Still in the Struggle Spoiler Really Eclectic Scorpio, Level 79 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72|73|74|75|76|77|78|79|80|81|82|83|84| | My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!

Sylvaa Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 So I found this article that might be interesting to you. As a rule, I hate it when people try to sell stuff while giving legitimate information, however I've found multiple sources that do point to beetroot being good for gallbladder health. Don't know how applicable that is once your gallbladder is gone though. I'll do some more digging tonight because I am a nerd and love to find things out like this. 3 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

RES Posted May 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just about caught up with everyone on this first day of the challenge... Got my ox bile in...too soon to tell if it's making a difference or not Going to restrict myself from falling down the rabbit hole (aka here, facebook, etc...)until AFTER homework is done (today is obviously an exception, I may need to take this further if I can't stick to it on my own) My wife has a job doing something she wants to do (read: NOT management) in Jacksonville as soon as we get there...this will be after I get done with my class, see the previous point School is top priority for this and probably next challenge...lots of nursing homes in Jacksonville so should be very easy to find something there after I finish the course...
