Up, down, up, down, up …400g up this morning over last week’s late weigh-in i.e. 63.4kg. My non BSD tastes were few and bite sized, so blitzing hard to fathom but plugging on.

As usual, I’m full of admiration for those who are showing real results, including the maintainers👏👏👏

Onwards, my lovelies, day at a time …..

Morning!

Well I did indeed pee a lot last night and through the night. However, this morning only one pound off….so I have still gained 3 pounds. The only difference I can think of is that I didn’t drink as much liquid yesterday and Sunday. So today I am pouring water down my neck like I am drowning! See what happens tomorrow as I shall weigh myself again.

Kazz, thank you so much for thinking of me. I see from another thread you have lost more weight. Bloody well done! You are amazing.

Allie, I don’t feel like my thyroid is playing up. I usually can tell by low mood, lethargy etc. But, I am willing to consider anything. I think it is probably the water, and am very angry that I can gain 4 without thought, but lose only 1 with hard work. Makes me wonder if I can ever maintain! Sometimes I can’t drink loads of water…I have to leave the house sometimes and my bladder won’t hold much!

See you later peeps.

Lots of love
Joes Nonna

Hi Allie the answer is no! I’m lucky to manage 1.5 that’s a good day for me. I do have maybe 3 or 4 cups of tea/coffee a day so I do get enough liquid just maybe not the right kind! Hope you manage to get back to sleep I’m just off to the dentist! Speak later.

Morning challenge buddies. Pleased to report another 1.75lbs off this week, making 3.5lbs in total for this challenge. STILL not as fast as I would like it (there’s just no pleasing some people) but am trying to be content that I seem to have got my eating habits under control again.
Had a challenging weekend with lots of non-BSD friendly food but managed to get away with just eating a little too much of the BSD friendly stuff and a couple of (shot) glasses of port. Scales weren’t as low as they were on Friday but still showing the loss.

Next challenge: Four days in London at the weekend. Now, I’m a London girl, born and bred so going to my hometown as a tourist is never easy – my plan is to walk, a lot and only eat two meals per day, and try to make them as BSD friendly as possible, and drinks only one night – but we’re off to the theatre that night so it won’t be a long ‘sesh’!.
Lovely to see so many people wearing their positive pants at the moment, good luck with those who have not weighed in yet, we’re all rooting for you!

Good morning, Verano! It’s 3:30am here and I’m wide awake, reading
that you have passed a similar night. Now, if you were here in the
States, we could conduct nightly conversations at this hour 🙂
I take a melatonin supplement that helps me get to sleep, but I
have a built in alarm clock that goes off at this hour most nights.
I know just how you feel! Are you remembering to drink 3 liters
each day?

I lost 1/2 kg yesterday. How?!?! No idea. Was not calorie counting.

Ate about 11.30am – left over pork roast, cream in coffee, 1/2 teaspoon apple sauce, then about 3.30 Brie and celery, then 4 squares 90% chocolate (single origin, delicious!) then cauliflower and green beans with butter and grated cheddar cheese and lots of salt and pepper.

Walked the dog before eating and went to Pilates as well.

I have no wisdom to offer on how I lost weight, though obviously delighted. New weight 62.2kg.

ClarinetCathy congratulations on reaching goal. It’s such an inspiration to know it can happen. Good luck with maintenance.

MaisieM, Kazz, Krysia and Molovex..well done on your losses. We’re getting there!

Verano, I empathise with you. I’m very up and down too, I think it’s probably the amount of cheese I scoff. I was stuck losing the same kilo over and over, dieter’s nightmare. However I have managed to lose 1kg since starting this challenge. Slow but a kilo off is a kilo off.

Mixnmatch…I’m gutted we won’t get to see your photo. Did you get to keep the clothes?

Good luck for next week.

Good morning

This is an interesting conversation about sleep and vitamin D. I take a calcium supplement everyday which also contains vitamin D3 to aid absorption but my sleep pattern is still up the wall. A cup of tea at 3am this morning did help me to drop off again but just for an hour or so and then eventually I fell into a deep sleep and really didn’t want to get up this morning!

Our penultimate weigh-in tomorrow and I hope everyone is doing better than me. Last night we ate Indian food and I had chickpeas which has resulted in a minor gain this morning but I still seem to be in maintenance mode and am finding it difficult to get back to losing. Maybe after my HbA1c result on Thursday I’ll be re-motivated ….. will have to wait and see!

Have a good day.

A whole lb off for me this week – 9st 0 & 3/8, very excited as so close to being in the 8’s!
My end goal was always 8st 12 but now that I’m nearly there I’m wondering whether to move the goalpost slightly further.
When I set the target I thought it was so unlikely that I would ever be this weight again (my starting weight in May was 11st 4).
Being this weight feels brilliant and I love what this WOE has done for me.

Keep the faith Mokovex, it works! I ignore mini gains if I see them during the week because I know the overall weight trend is downwards.

Congratulations Clarinet Cathy! A fantastic achievement & you must feel great! X

Back to slightly over target, but due to a frantic week at work I had no badminton at all last week and was too tired to ramp up my walking like I usually do at weekends. Yesterday’s attempt at a fast day fizzled as well, although mostly with BSD friendly food. Hopefully this week will be back to my normal routine, before my big party next Saturday, I almost have everything ready now. I checked online for the rest of the week for the Daily Mail piece, but they didn’t use my case study. Since they were using the short term diet theme to get people into party dress shape that is very understandable, as apart from the 26 pounds in 8 weeks for my 800 a day part there was nothing short term about my weight loss. So today’s weigh in is 10 stone 12.6. Will carry on trying to be good and not drinking until Saturday, after which I will probably go back to 5:2 with Monday being a full fast.

Hello. 3lbs off for me this week taking me to 16.12 and into the 16s for the first time in a decade. I did my first 48 hr fast last week which helped I think. Good luck to all with your weigh ins.

Kazzii

mariet, you’re nearly there- 50 lb is awesome!

My scales have been up and down again this week. Lowest 133.0 (goal). Today 134.2 which is 0.2 down from last Tuesday. I too had a little roasted nut fest yesterday KrysiaD. I also had a Baileys with ice last night and was shocked at how sweet it was so that is now off my Christmas list! Apart from yesterday I’ve been extra good this week as I wanted to consolidate my goal weight but as I’ve said many times during my journey weight loss is not an easy science to fathom. I’ve done more walking this week and I think I’ve probably eaten a little less than usual trying to get slightly under goal towards my 3 lb buffer but hey ho the scales are up slightly. It is my weight loss pattern and it takes me a few weeks consolidate and move down again.

Looking forward to reading the posts today- I cannot concentrate at work on a Tuesday when the posts start coming in. Half way into this challenge so we can all achieve our November goal if we keep focused. Let’s try and do our best in November before the start of the Christmas festivities begin to challenge us in December!

A quarter of a pound lost this week. Am happy because it is still going downwards and lucky because I bought roasted salted nuts and hickory smoked nuts for husband – but ate them all myself. So cannot complain about a small loss. Not sure why they are so irresistible.

All roasted nuts and nut butters will have to stay on the supermarket shelves and only bought for a special treat at Christmas.

Morning everyone, I’m gatecrashing here to repeat what Mariet has just said. I live in the south of France and walk a lot and garden but according to my last blood test, am vit D deficient. The doctor says it seems to be an epidemic particularly in women, for the moment no one knows why. I take a slow release supplement 3 times a year…

Morning,

Start weight: 136.5lb
7th Nov: 133.2 lb (-3.3)
Today : 132.7lb (-0.5lb)

Total = -3.8lb

So, only a half pound loss for me this week. This weight loss malarkey is quite mystifying. Last week I overindulged 4/7 days and had my biggest loss since starting the BSD. This week, back on track and only half a pound. Not discouraged though as TOTM and possibly last week’s food caught up with me this week.

Well done Mariet, you are so very close, 50lb off, that’s epic. Keep going, hoping the next week (or 2) bring you that magic number on the scales).

Good morning Mary.

It’s 5am and I’ve just woken for the bathroom and.the only thing on my mind are your extremely sensitive scales! Mine are at least 20 years old and don’t register half pounds let alone ounces. I was thinking about buying new ones but now I’m not so sure! I really hope things have rectified themselves overnight and look forward to hearing what they register this morning.

See you in a bit.

Kazeee xx

Clarinet Cathy, belated congratulations to you! What a wonderful achievement, I am so happy for you.

300g down for this week, it’s slowed down so much now though my slightly relaxed approach to weekends may have something to do with that. But 300g off is way better than 300g on 🙂 I would need to lose 600g next week to reach my goal both for this challenge and completely, that will make 50lb gone in total. Going on my record that’s not so likely! But, if not next week, maybe the week after. I have a pact with myself that I’m not going on holidays for Christmas until I’m 2 kg below for some wiggle room so I’d better get cracking 🙂

Thanks again folks, I’m definitely leaning towards the 16:8 BSD approach as I can easily skip breakfast and last well into the early afternoon so it makes sense to try that as 800 calories in a 10 hour waking period isn’t all that hard going (and the snacks were never really needed, they were just a habit etc.)

And fortunately my kids got me into shopping in charity shops a few years ago and I get most things from them (apart from jeans, can never find jeans I like in charity shops!), so not too worried about the clothes 🙂

Today’s been a good day, no sugar or refined carbs and not been a struggle at all. Feeling good 🙂

I have lost 2lbs in week 1, and my fasting blood sugar came in at 5.0 this morning. This is lowest that I have recorded for 5 years. Yay. 🙂

Hi Esnecca,
I take it you are in the States, me and my wife have been there many times and I know how the food is there. I can’t believe how much they serve compared to the UK. We will be in Orlando next August and we will be staying at the Hard Rock Hotel and from what we know of the prices there we will probably go out onto I-drive to eat, and sometimes we order one meal and share it because the meals are so supersized. It will be hard to eat sensibly but I will give it a good go.

Anyway I am still in awe of your terrific weight loss and you amongst others on this forum inspire me to keep on the straight and narrow for this WOE.

Nil desperandum indeed 2BD, the fact that you got ‘back on the horse’ Macloud after straying from the path of righteousness (!!) shows grit and determination and like you say you have got so far already, it is sure to come down some more.

Keep on keeping on I think that is the thing 🙂

1/4 each of all of those different flours Luvtcook , plus a mix of the seeds in the bread maker on the wholewheat setting with half the recommended amount of sugar. It turned out pretty dense, but to be honest that was expected; might try more yeast next time, but tastes great and filling enough to just have one slice and not be tempted to eat the whole loaf as is uaually the case with bread of any sort, especially home made and warm!!

Hi Ancient Weaver, just a thought- I live in Sydney and am active outside all year around, sailing mainly so in the sun and usually without sunscreen. I was shocked to find after my last blood work that I was Vit D deficient although I don’t easily burn and tan like nobody’s business. You may find your levels are lower than you suppose, even if you are tanned. I am a midwife and we have recently started recommending Vit D supplements to all our mothers because of the prevalence of the deficiency, and this is in sunny Sydney!

Maybe it would be worth giving a supplement a try? Low vitamin D has been linked to all kinds of issues, depression, muscle and joint pain to name a few.

Californiagirl, I figured it was probably a misunderstanding along those lines, hence my attempt to clarify. Sorry if I came across as ‘pissy’.

Sadly the great night’s sleep did not translate into a day without EDS. I started getting sleepy about 1 o’clock and crashed completely by 1.30. I had suspected for some time that my EDS is not linked to lack of sleep at night. Obviously a lack of sleep at night is highly likely to cause fatigue in the daytime, but as I have had really good days as well as bad days, with only 6 hours of sleep, the link is not set in stone. Today’s experience really drove home the fact that night-time and daytime sleepiness have different mechanisms.
Night-time sleep is primarily melatonin based, but daytime sleepiness is primarily to do with adenosine.
I seem to have sussed how to get my melatonin working properly, but am nowhere near getting my EDS sorted. It’s really ironic because I have always had trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep (at night), but the EDS only really started about 20 years ago, so I’d’ve expected to sort the EDS more easily than the insomnia.

It’s very interesting that vitamin D is implicated in EDS, and curious that when I was living a lot further south than I am now, I had no daytime fatigue worth mentioning, but I don’t really think I can be deficient in vitD, as I still have tanned arms, despite the shorter days.

Sleep problems are not always rooted in deficiencies though, just as they are not always rooted in poor sleep hygiene. There are also variations in enzymes and brain chemistry that can have serious repercussions for sleep.

My problems with night time sleep are mostly due to an overactive enzyme, but slight deficiencies of other trace nutrients also have noticeable effects.

I haven’t quite finished but it’s bedtime, so I’ll wish you all as good a night as I had last night!
Good night all! 🙂

One other thought, Mary – Have you had your thyroid meds reviewed
recently? I can feel your frustration, I’m sooooo sorry!! Let’s see
if we can figure this out. Talk tomorrow, my sweet.

Thank you. I am sure it must be water but it’s a bugger! Unless I pee all night I will weigh the same tomorrow. The scales are new so I can’t blame them!

Let’s sleep on it tonight and see what tomorrow brings.

Loves y’all

Mary

Mary my love. How bloody annoying! It is just water I’m sure. You always weigh lighter in the morning so see what the scales say tomorrow morning. If the scales register 16.11 tomorrow, I’d be inclined to chuck them down the garden and go and buy a new set! You are doing amazingly but I truly feel your frustration. We’re in this together, my friend. Keep the faith. I’ll see you in the morning.

Kazzeee xx

Mary, that can’t possibly be weight – each lb is the equivalent of
3500 calories. Do you think your scales are dependable? I suspect
water retension. What else could it be? I never weigh myself at
night, it’s always higher. How about “transit issues”? We’ll figure
this out………..Tomorrow is your official weigh day. Let’s see what
you register first thing tomorrow morning. I’m happy that you
had a lovely meal with your daughter’s family. I can’t remember
how long chicken pox takes to run its course? I hope that the
chest colds and other problems will resolve very soon. Little
chests racked with cough always sound so awful!
Talk to you tomorrow, dear sister.

Love,

Allie
xoxoxo

Oh and I forgot to say…I have Sinusitis again!

Lol

Happy Monday.

First I must explain. My official weigh day is Tuesday. However, I do weigh myself on Friday to see how I am getting on. I was delighted on Friday to see the scales register 16st 6 pounds (a 3 pound loss since Tuesday).

Well…my DD cooked a roast Pork dinner. There was Broccoli and Cauliflower in cheese sauce. Carrots, Roasted Parsnips and Potatoes and Pureed Apple. Now. I must confess! I ate one quarter of a potato and 2 parsnips. I ate meat, and the brocolli/cauli in cheese sauce. I had 2 glasses of Cava. THAT IS ALL!

Today I weighed 16st 11 pounds. How the Eff did that happen? Totally pissed off about that.

However. My youngest daughter is full of cough/cold as is her 5 months old baby and her husband (also an asthmatic). My eldest daughters’ 15 months old daughter has chicken pox. My DD elder daughter is very depressed at the moment, so at the drop of a hat, this Nonna jumped in her old wagon and hot footed over to take my lovely boy to pre-school and to cheer up my lovely girl. Walking to the school and pushing my “big for his age” grandson, meant that I had a good workout today to go with my 24 hour fast. Tentatively I stepped on the scales before my shower to read 16st 11 pounds. BUGGA!!!

Kazz enjoy your book and take it easy this week. You will reach 15 before me at this rate!

Allie, always lovely to read your posts. I hope I haven’t forgotten anyone or anything.

Take care all,

Lots of love
Nonna Mary

Sorry, all, I think that was suppose to be the “brass ring” ! 🙂

Fatrabbit- what an achievement! Many congratulations on your amazing weight loss. I don’t know where you’ve been hiding within the BSD community because I don’t seem to have met you over the months I’ve been posting- we were probably ships crossing in the night. As a fellow vegetarian I applaud you! To get your BMI so low too! I am happy that I achieved 25 but you may have inspired me to maybe aim a little lower perhaps after Christmas when I hopefully have cracked the beginnings of maintenance! I don’t know where you’ve been hiding but I am so pleased that you’ve joined this thread like me as a newbie at goal weight. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Macloud

I took a week off with lots of ‘unavoidable’ social activities. This resulted in a gain of 5.2 pounds from 18 stone 6 pounds to 18 stone 11.2. This was from Thursday to Thursday. Today, Monday I am 6.6 pounds back down, weighing in at 18 stone 4.6. As you say, this cannot all be due to calories. I am now 1.4 pounds down on two weeks ago and, having stuck with it till this Thursday, will hopefully be down to 18 stone 4. That would mean a 2 pound loss over the 2 weeks. Basically, my bad week has cost me a week. A lesson I don’t mind (re)-learning! Get back onto bsd and all will be well.

Nil desperandum! (I hope I got that right)

2bigdave

I’m so happy to see so many participating on this thread! It really
lifts my already high spirits, being able to share the maintenance
journey with others who have already grasped the gold ring, as
well as those you have it in their sites. Luvtcook has just reminded
me of an experience I had recently. I know that I have shared it
already on the “new life choices..” thread, but for those of you
who may have missed it and don’t read that one, I’ll repeat it.
I’m required to see my medical dr. every 4 months because he
manages my medications. I was in his office recently for a routine
exam, and there was a new nurse. She escorted me into the
examination room and opened her laptop to review medications
and history. After she weighed me and took my b.p. she excused
herself, returning to quiz me about my address and phone number.
She thought she had the wrong chart and wanted to double
check that she had the right one. Next came this question –
“I don’t see the date or the hospital record of your bariatric
surgery. When was it?” When I told that I hadn’t had any surgical
procedures, her eyes got wide, her jaw hung open, and she said
“I haven’t ever heard of anyone losing 146 lbs. without bypass
surgery!” I laughed all the way out to the car. I don’t think I
had any real concept of what I had accomplished until this moment.
All things are possible with the BSD. Have any of you had like
experiences?

Fatrabbit, its so great that this thread has been revitalized by you since there had been no posts on it since August. It really is a celebration for everyone chugging along on BSD. So many of needing to lose the 100lbs to join this club. I hope to join you one day myself.

Luvtcook – what a good idea – MuchThinnerRabit instead of Fatrabbit

It is so awsome to hear of so many folks who have lost 100lb+ on the BSD. Just amazing. On most weight loss sites its only the gastric bypass folks that have lost that must.

Congratulations to you Fatrabbit. KrysiaD is right…..you may have to re-register as MuchThinnerRabbit. Also so great to hear your fibro may be gone. What a relief that must be. Please stay in touch with the forums so we can share the rest of your journey. We need inspiration achievers like you.

Rebecca, I strongly recommend that you go with the non-food treat. So much of the BSD is a mental exercise and continuing to think of sugar and bread or other bad carbs as “treats” is dangerous. They’re poison, materially damaging your health with every gram. Look how wonderfully well your body has responded to the BSD. It’s because you stopped feeding it the arsenic that was slowly killing it.

Physiologically, if you keep eating bad carbs, even once a week, you will keep having cravings and keep getting hungry. The cycle of carbs spiking blood sugar which spikes insulin levels which stores fat and refuses to release the fat it has already stored has to be stopped by choking off the source of the original blood sugar spike.

Congratulations on your great results so far! Stay the course and keep your eyes on the prize.

Oh dear. Having read some yet more of folks’ successes and impressive resolve, I now have to let the side down (yet again) and confess publically my misspent time past this week just gone (my 12th on BSD) and especially the last 3 days away to a relative’s wedding and general cals-fest.

In short, I now find myself a full 5 lbs heavier (scales don’t ever lie .. do they ?) than last Monday. To be fair, weight reversal a bit was expected; actually heavier over the course of the week never ! But again I am philosophical and I know that I never swallowed an extra 17,500 cals, especially in one weekend. Had a good go at it, mind, entirely inadvertently of course.

But it WAS a very good do. .. and welcome diet break generally.

However, back to reality now and restart. Despite everything last week, I am still lighter than I have been for some 95% of the years since I was about 30 years old. So that is about 40 years of accumulated damage to rectify, most of which has now been achieved. No harm in putting a positive spin on it ?

Let’s see what Week 13 on the BSD brings.

Macloud

Juliet, to pinpoint your waist, bend over to one side and find the crease between your ribs and hips. Stick your finger in it and slide the tape measure around that point. Stand back up straight, pull the measure until it’s fitted but not super tight. Don’t suck anything in. Do be sure your posture is nice and tall though. Shoulders back, no slouching.

My waist measurement took a long time to budge, just fyi. I had lost something like 30 pounds before I saw it go down an inch.

Hi taurusmmuk, I didn’t start the BSD until August 2017, so I’m a little shy of a full year and a half on the program. I dipped a toe in at first by just cutting white carbs for a few months. I lost some weight (I was still avoiding the scale at the time so I don’t know how much exactly), maybe 20 pounds or so, but I had such a huge amount to lose that I decided to try the BSD to see if I could pick up the pace a little. The rest is history. 😀

I don’t restrict myself to 800 calories a day anymore (I tend to hover just under 1000 these days as I slowly back out of losing mode into maintenance mode), but I’m still counting and measuring everything I cook and being extremely strict with my choices when I eat out. I am now officially one of those jerks who harries servers about whether there’s sugar in the salad dressing and if I can sub the potatoes for grilled asparagus. Sorry not sorry. I embrace my low-carb fanaticism without a shred of remorse.

Fatrabbit – well done – although I think you may need to change your name now.

JackieM – I had to smile when I read your post. No-one is allowed near my cream nor my flaked almonds for my yoghurt either. Nor my stilton, Tesco Finest smoked mackerel, avocados, Lindt 90%…………..

Thanks for the welcome :))

Very interesting to hear of someone else reversing CF and improving fibro Alliecat. Do you think that was about diet? I also had a lot of success with distraction for the fibro pain. I took to listening to music constantly and focusing my attention off my body. That helped me ignore hunger when fasting too. Then one day when I ran down the stairs in my new slim body and I realised that I didn’t hurt any more. And I no longer dream that I am being tortured at night. I really think the fibro may be gone, as long as I am careful about what and when I eat.

Hi, fatrabbit! What a wonderful accomplishment. There are a lot
of us maintainers, so I know this thread will be beneficial to you!
I can really relate to the challenges imposed on you by fibro and
CFS. I’ve reversed CFS and reduced Fibro by 50%. My 146lb. loss
is wonderful, but it’s the reclaiming of my disabled life that is far
and away the prize.
I look forward to hearing your maintenance strategies! Congratulations
on becoming a member of the 100 Club. Awesome!

Allie

Hi H – Glad you are feeling more positive about tackling how you deal with the stress factors in your life. As yoga was helpful before, why not look at starting it again? Even if your time is tight, I’m sure by making a couple of small changes, you should be able to reduce the impact of stress and improve your wellbeing.

Keep us posted …

Absolutely AWESOME Fatrabbit! We can call you Fastrabbit now — that is an amazing achievement. I know how hard it can be and how focused you have to be to get there — huge congratulations!

Make the charity shops and ebay you best friends, Martie. As my size started to drop and I had to side line garments, I picked up cheap replacements in local charity stores and on ebay, knowing that they too would be side lined in a couple of months. Now that I’m where I want to be, I have started buying my replacement wardrobe both from normal high street stores as well, but there as still some great bargains to have elsewhere too.

Anyway, don’t worry about that now, it’s not a good reason to put off improving your health and fitness and taking control of your weight. Keep us posted on your progress and I’ll look forward to reading some great positive results from you in due course.

WAY TO GO, Fatrabbit – although that should be Slimrabbit now!!!!

Well done on achieving you target weight. Sounds like you have made a great start at maintenance and have lots of good reasons for not letting things slide. Hopefully you will be posting on this thread to keep us up to speed on your progress.

Here’s to the new you – congratulations!!

Hi everyone, are we all set to refocus this week?? I have mixed results
to report today. Weigh-in on Sat. showed another lb. lost, but I’m
hoping that adding cream to my coffee (quite decadent, but tastes
like a dessert of coffee ice cream to me) will help. However, I am
now committed to walking 5 days a week and doing strength training
3 x wk, and thanks to the support here I’ve managed to do this for
the past 2 weeks. I feel better about me, for doing so!

Verano, I’ll be waiting with you to see how your blood test results
are on Thurs. Knowing that Metformin hangs in the balance must
be stressful. Here in the States we use a different measure, so
what I’ll be waiting to hear ultimately is whether or not you have
optimal – normal levels.. Fingers and toes crossed, of course! 🙂

I’m wishing you all a very focused day…..

Allie

Hey Kazzi, my love, guess what? It’s our 3 month anniversary on
this forum! Can you believe it? What a difference it has made in
my life, and I celebrate all your successes and the contributions
you are making on multiple threads. People really relate to you
out there, and they are responding to your enthusiasm! 🙂
You’ve definitely earned a week off, so completely enjoy it!
I’m sorry to hear about your favorite Auntie. On the face of
it, it sounds like some sort of transient vascular problem that
is affecting blood supply to the brain. Isn’t it fun to become a
diet and health oracle? I think there are some good low carb
cracker recipes posted, but I can’t remember where I saw them.
I like all the seeds you’ve ordered, so I’ll be watching to see how
you use them this week. Most definitely, email me any time you
like! I’m the classic techno-imbecile though, so if you don’t receive
a reply please just mention it here and I’ll try to work out what
I may have done wrong on o/h’s computer. My laptop is fine
for internet use, but has some bug with the email program, so
I have to use Jim’s for email. No worries though, he would never
read my mail. Truly!
Wallow in sloth today, and enjoy your read. Is it Jason Fung or
George Orwell?

Later, my sweet!

Much love,

Allie
