where can I find good reciepes? for CM. anything you like in particular?

yesterday i went to sweet Tomatos supper salad. i deffinitley over carbed a little. but I started with two dishes of salads and I picked some of the chicken from the chicken soup. lots of pizza, apple pie, cookies, etc. All within the hour though. it is weird because I felt like I can eat after the hour even though I ate almost constantly the entire hour. when I went home I couldn't breath all night.

hi-
had a good dinner last night just like I planned. Very glad I brought the chicken!

For good recipes look on the recipe area- as long as it does not have carbs you can have it for CM. I use lots of leftovers from RM- simple protein and veggie combos- lots of chicken adn salad!

today I just did not feel well all day- did yard work in the heat and think I overdid.

cm-2 eggs, cheese, coffee
cm:cottage cheese and greeen tea
rm(planned)salad, burger on bun, slaw, beer?

Hi, everyone, Back on Cad, It seems to be the only thing to control my reactive hypoglycemia that back in 05 doc told me I had. Needless to say his advise was to eat 6 meals a day duhhhh. to keep my insulin level through out the day. Went on atkins for a few weeks to get the carbs out of my system but just can not make it a lifestyle. So I thought lets go fat free for a few days and see what that does. Oh boy lets jump back into hell (excuse my term) but that is the truth.
re- reading my calp book which covers and explains reactive hypoglycemia which my doc did not. (need to send him a copy of the book) Seems to be an answer that I in my thick headed ways need to except. This is an allfull thing to have. I never get full, constintlly starving, gorging then sleeping only to wake up a few hours later and repeat the prosess over again. You know, its my own fault for not doing something about it. And the truth of the matter Cad/Calp is one of the easyest ways to go. LOL

Have never stop reading the thread, and glad to see new people jumping in.

Teri I admire how you are so organized
Eno Of course your my hero

Quick question Is it 3 or 4 hours between Cm's and Rm? Cant remember and cant seem to find it in the books. of course I could be having a senor moment lol.

Hi everyone,
I have been at the fair with daughter the last few days, and it goes through tomorrow. She has done extremely well! Champion in almost all categories. I posted some pictures on my new blog .

I haven't had a problem staying on plan. I don't know how much I have walked (I forgot my pedometer). The problem is I keep forgetting to drink my water.

Only two more days of it left. My daughter auctions her meat goat tonight and my daughter in law sings in the talent show, both at the same time. It should prove to be interesting.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

My weight has stayed the same since I last posted.

still doing okay. haven't checked my BG in a while but will get back to it at least occasionally.

i have no desire for potatoes/rice or other such foods so some reward meals are not; just lc meals.
am loving sandwiches and will pick up some corn tortillas when i shop then FINALLY make those tacos i've been obsessing about.
also loving all the tomatoes in my garden.

i am a slow eater and it is hard for me to imagine fitting in so much food. still not consuming all the required vegies but alway quite a bit. my tummy is still making the adjustment.

this morning i had eggs scrambled w cream cheese...yuk. going back to my smoothie pronto.

Hello everyone,

Yogiart, I am a creature of habit and eat whatever sounds good to me at the time. Before beginning this program I would be able to eat a substantial amount and still feel hungry. I believe that including the right combination of foods have helped me to control my hunger and feel satisfied with my food choices. I wish you well!

Eno, I hope you feel better today. We had beautiful weather in the mid 70s yesterday so I went outside to work on my tan. Not really, I went outside to begin cleaning up horse crap that desperately needed to be scooped up from the edges of my driveway.

Cheryl, welcome back! I like to be organized. I can't say when it started but I homeschooled my children for twelve years and it was much easier for me that way.

ican4Him, congratulations to your daughter. I visited your blog and it reminded me how cute Boer goat kids are. I hope your daughter does really well at the auction. It is great to hear that you are able to remain on plan so try not to worry about the scale.

I have to get ready to go out of town again today. My mother-in-law and I had birthdays in June and we always get together for lunch or dinner. Since my mother-in-law lost her sister a week before our birthdays and I was dealing with my grandma, we postponed our get together until today.

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law will be joining us at a pizza parlor for lunch today. My husband and I used to go to Berkeley for this pizza but we found that there is another location in San Ramon that we would like to try.

hi-
much better day today. DId yard work in the morning only- done by 11am (took my walk at 7am first)- and drank 2 large cold glasses of water during. I stopped at around 10 and had one, then anohter at 11. Much better!Need to do some extra house cleaning- like wahing stuff that is on open shelving in teh kitchen- but will wait until next week when DH will help take it all down and put it all back!

today
cm:2 eggs, 2 turkey bacon, coffee
cm:1/2 of leftover burger from last night (no bun), cole slaw, green tea
rm:salad, roast beef sandwich on a hard roll with slaw and horseradish, green beans, water. DH added on potato salad and beer and skipped the salad.

It was too hot to cook- and that sandwich was fun! I sauteed the green beans in a little evoo and sesame oil with fresh garlic. Yum.

tomorrow we may take a trip to another local lake- just to explore.

oh- I think it is 90 minutes between meals.

and that 6 meals a day would do me in! My body really likes CALP!

i scored CALP for a buck at a thrift store today. judging from the binding, it's not been opened. someone really missed out.

i had a smoothie for lunch, kind of late since i was out shopping for a stove and fridge. probably have a sandwich later.
that roast beef sandwich sounded so good, eno.

Yesterday I posted my weight was the same, since I assumed it was, but when I actually got on the scale I was down a pound.

(I am copying my update from my journal, since I am short on time ) Yesterday was another day at the fair. The auction went well and Stef got $4.25/lb for her goat. Today will be hard as he will be leaving at the same time she will be showing her other goats in both the Master Showmanship classes.

Yesterday's food
CM - hamburger patty with cheese
CM - pepperoni sticks
RM - 1/2 corndog, few fries, corn on the cob and kettle corn. This was definitely the worst, unbalanced meal I have had since starting the program.

I also didn't drink much water again yesterday. Today is the last day at the fair, and life can resume to it's normal chaoticness!

hi-
glad the fair is over, ican, but it sounds like it was great for your family.

It is HOT today- I took a short walk and am drinking lots of water.

cm:2 eggs, 2 turkey bacon, coffee
cm:cottage cheese, green tea
rm(planned):salad, cold roast chicken, spinach, peach?
