[QUOTE=Jaz66]Good Morning!
Trig :Loved your last post! I really liked your insights regarding your mom, and now your MIL. You know we all are going to have to "deal" with that. You are through it,
Lori is "IN IT"-
Nic and I have that yet in front of us! Fun times, Fun times! NOT! Lordy have mercy when that comes my way- it will not be pretty.
Changing the subject- yes please!
Hitting up the mall for pants huh?!?!?- Old Navy isn't bad for a one season only pair as they aren't made to last, but they are cheap. I have gone there when I am in-between sizes and don't want to spend a ton of money and think I won't be in "this size anyway". They also do have a ton of jeans in every size!
Hope she finds something!
Sounds like things are quieting down just a tad?
Lori- Wow on that graveyard tour! That is sort of fun and creepy at the same time! IT's something to do on a Saturday night! Do they have a bon fire as well?
Maybe you can go to dinner prior, make an evening from it!
Good luck on your game! Enjoy it! Hope it is not the last weekend for you!!!
Nic- Safe travels today and tomorrow. I see you are flying into southern Cali- then from there tomorrow home. You are going to be one tired pup, plus adjusting to time zone difference! Take a baby aspirin prior to flight, both you and hubby! Nurse in me had to put that out there!
Enjoy your trip home! Joy in the journey!

So, a small unintentional experiment on the incredible benefits of eating non-processed, clean Carnivore= no inflammation, no bloat, feeling amazing and empowered with energy. VS- inflamed, joint pain, bloating, gut pain, low energy and MEH all over.
I fell off the wagon last night HARD. (Thankfully it was not an all-day bender, but close). I felt I could eat one small baked sweet potato with my steak. Thirty minutes later: let the carnage begin and a trip to the store to BUY GARBAGE.
Results of said experiment: SEVERE GUT PAIN, GI issues, joint pain in EVERY joint down to my toes even. Add bloating, puffy, pasty face, and zero energy and feeling like I have been hit by a Mack truck twice! I literally was triggered and rolled with it.
I felt the carb monster was "let out of the cage in spades". Now I pay.
The good news, I am right back up on the ZERO/Carnivore wagon to get my body, and vibrance back. I know now just how amazing it really does feel to eat clean. I think that people are so used to feeling like crap they get used to THIS feeling after garbage. It really sucks. Thankfully within a few days I should recover off the bender. BACK and so back. I am writing this for two reasons. As a reminder to myself how NOT worth any of it is.
Second- No matter how "good" I have been doing I am always going to be subject to the "triggers" out there and need a plan of pure avoidance. I did not stop at one small, sweet potato. I am so carb sensitive, all my wiring went haywire. Maybe someday- not in the near future anytime soon. Nope and Nope!
Off that tangent, but I did want to share it for accountability and to say just how easy it can be for anyway to hit that banana peel. Vigilance!
Ok, now I am done! HAHAHAHAHAH
Got a call from my Aunt last night (speaking of food) for the family invite for Thanksgiving. My DD and family, DS, and all my cousins will be there. My mom and her husband will be there and then they invited my SIL's sister and husband as they are only 40 minutes from Charlotte and no place to go. So, all total we are looking at 22 adults, 5 kids, and 4 dogs= total chaos. Yeah, I am going!
It will be an all meat plate, turkey and ham!
Hey has any of you tried the "Steak Ums" from the freezer sections? They cook up super-fast and they have a buy one get one free this week? I see the Keto people online who love them.
Might try as they are a BOGO- otherwise they are pricey for just 14 slices at 13.50 a package.
Working online today for just a couple hours for the ever-present job hunt- then am taking time out for sunshine, tomorrow day off from it!
Neighbor and I are grilling steaks pool side tomorrow. I did pick up some Grey Goose and Lacroix and lime for the last pool bash of the season! Packing it in a cooler and meeting her poolside.
Off into my day- laundry chimed it is done, dishwasher quiet now. I just need to put few things away and already to play. Just wish the massive bloat for last night was gone. Can't get into my shorts! Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sweat pants for today - urghhhhh
