Elastigirl Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I hope this will be helpful to her! It sure is to me. Being able to have bread again is fantastic. I love it as garlic bread and pizza crust. It's almost guilt free, and all that wonderful fiber, plus a healthy amount of omega 3 oils, this stuff is a low carb dream come true.sent from my tiny particle acceleratorI should make some. I don't miss bread, but my husband does. edit to add : yes I do miss bread some, but not enough to try baking some yet. 1 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Scumspawn Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 How's everyone doing gong into the final week of the challenge?sent from my tiny particle acceleratorI pretty much gave up when the first flu of the year started in week 2. Things have changed though since my first challenge, quite dramatically. I'm not drinking half as much, I'm making much better food choices generally but I'm still as fat as a pumpkin. I've given up on weight loss totally (menopause 1, Scumspawn nil) but I'm trying to be the healthiest I can - this gets scuppered by cold after cold after cold - I'm still coughing, with a blocked up nose and sneezing too. Fed up with the lot of it. 1 Quote Scumspawn the level 5 Grumpy Druid ThingSTR 8 | DEX 4 | STA 7 | CON 6 | WIS 9.75 | CHA 10.5Current challenge | Accountable to chronologically blessedBattle Log Progress bars below!Feb 2016Quest 1 - Misfit to 800 4 days out of 7 0%0% Quest 2 - Mindfulness daily 0%0% Quest 3 - Veg with every meal, 2 pints of water a day 0%0% Life Goal - Self Care 0%0% First Challenge 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Link to comment

Dilnad Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Week 3 of Marathon training is almost done. They are running me extremely hard. TONS of hills. I'm actually finding an age benefit. I've had trouble staying asleep for years. I'd fall asleep easily and then am up after a few hours and up and down all night and then after 5 hours I was done. I could not get back to sleep (Used to sleep like a champ when I was young). All the running (plus strength training) is wearing me out, I've been sleeping like a log the last couple of weeks. It's AMAZING! I've wanted to sleep like this again for years. 4 Quote Hey. I've got a blog!! ----> The Dilnad Can! This is how I did it.

peelout Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sort of forgot my age (55) and did something stupid tonight. I was driving on a 45mph road and a car I could see coming behind me at about 55 catches up to me. Instead of going around (although you couldn't legally pass), the car starts getting closer and soon I could not see it's headlights in my mirror, so I figure he was within 5' of my bumper. I slowed down to 40 thinking he would pass but he didn't. That annoys me quite a bit so I made a sudden slow down, fast enough to hopefully get the message through to the guy but not so fast he couldn't react. Instead he stays on my bumper so I slowed down fairly quickly, stopped, and put the car in park. I assumed he would go around but didn't so I jumped out of my car and walked back to his car. I had my grubby Carhart work coat on which makes me look a little more physically intimidating than I am. As I'm walking back, I see there are 2 people in the front seat and thought this could be trouble. Fortunately when I got to the window it was a couple kids about 17. I said "I was just wondering why you were following so close". He said he wasn't. I said "yeah you were" with my most menacing look. Then I said, "lets no do that anymore, OK". He agreed not to and I left. Stupid I know, but sometimes venting on here just isn't enough. Other car related things I hate:People who take up 2 parking spots in crowded parking lots like a high school parking lot during a football game or some other popular student activity. I have no problem w/ people who feel the need to park at angles and take up 2 spots in parking lots w/ plenty of empty spots and park in the back. But I won't even mention what I've done to some cars that do it in crowed lots. They would have been better off parking normal.People who pass long lines of cars on the highway where 2 lanes have to converge to 1 at construction projects. Sometimes I just pull next to the car in front of me and signal the driver I'm blocking the lane but sometimes I just spit out the window as they pass. Childish, but I don't give a dang. 2 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. Diet is 80% of losing weight, exercise is 80% of motivation.
