Low Carb Daily, week of Oct 10-16

[Meowna]

Hello, we are moved and back online, woo hoo. The move was a messy one and I am so glad it is done. I still have stuff in storage, will have to downsize again. LOL (chit collector). My weight is going down again. My ulcer is active and aggrivating as ****, easier to eat small meals right now, anything with spice is out of the question. Little man is settling in well. I have his play equipment in the yard, so it feels like home. He is talking soo much lately, it amazes me. Did anyone else watch "Come Back Jack"?? It is a wonderful movie about a boy with Autism, I see my son in Jack. It was hard to watch the family go through everything I have already done, but the rewards at the end brought more tears, it is sooo worth everyday of struggle to hear him say "I love you Mommy", I am still waiting to hear those words from my guy, but he is talking, he is requesting things and starting to express intrests in the world around him. As my bf left for work this morning Jared, hollers out behind him, "have fun, be a good boy"! LOL He repeats alot of what is said to him..........or what he hears which is not always what I need him to say to the Occupational therapist (she dropped her pen, he said "oh chit"! Anyways life is on an even keel again. I made a pot of soup, so I must be feeling better. It was hard to go through all my things and get rid of so much I had carried around for years, but it was also liberating drop some of the baggage. I feel lighter in spirit! Does that make sense??

Hope you all have a wonderful day and lovely weekend.

Happy Saturday. my only morning to sleep in and it was wonderful to wake up to full sunshine and a crisp fall day. I am going to go foar a walk today. I have gone everyday for the last 2 weeks and I can feel the difference. I have to say i am not a speedy walker but I do try to put in the distance.

I have just finished listening to a great book although I would do the abridged version if you have the choice. Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen. It was histerical and I would recomend it. I like to listen while i walk....

Meona, glad the move went well and that you are setteling in. There really is something to be sed for purging clutter!

to Leens who pops in,Kel, Dottie, Ruth and all my chickie friends.

Hey y'all what's going on?

saturday, and I was up early, went to the office for a couple of hours with DH; we both got some work done. Back home and off to grocery shop, and a dept. store walk thru with DS...looking for a new pocketbook. I liked something that was $135, a bit steep for an everyday bag that takes a lot of wear and tear.

MIL is sleeping, and has been feeling sick for a couple of days. Boy, the lesson here is live as healthy as you can- eat your protein, take your calcium, keep your muscle tone up. She was in terrible shape before chemo started, all she ate was junk and she sits in a recliner and watches tv and reads, during chemo she has no strength, no reserves to call on to keep her going. So, walk, eat your meat and veggies!

I will join you in your walks, L- I am headed out right now! I wrote down the audio book you mentioned, I'll look for it soon. Right now I am listening to Bill Bryson "A Walk in the Woods," a travel narrative about hiking the Appalacian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Very funny, but with enough information, history, and good story-telling to keep me interested...

That's it, I guess. Went to dinner at Outback last night with a girlfriend- that was nice, a lovely martini and grilled salmon. yum... Tonight I am making striped bass with a pesto topping, baked sweet potatoes and garlic bread for the DH and MIL, they love it. Tomorrow DH and will finish up some painting in the bathroom and put up some hooks and shelves in a closet. I am keeping VERY busy, it has been good for me!

Also bought myself Origins Ginger Creme Bath bubbles...oohhh very nice!

be good chickies,
dottie

oops...came back to say welcome back, Meowna- glad you're up and running. I love getting rid of junk too, it's great.
also loved your little guy story, "oh, chit" LOL!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the new posters - so nice to have you join us!

Quick flybye as I need to jump in the shower and take off to the baseball game tonight. Melis came in town for my birthday this weekend but *sad* she has a huge mid-term charcoal drawing she needs to finish so she will be staying home this evening.

Darn it - I didn't even get to sleep in this a.m. because my Tahoe was waaay overdue for an oil change and I needed to get to the shop early if I was going to get it back in a decent time (love it when they ask "can you leave it all day?" umm, nooo. No other drivers here....) Nice surprise that they had it done in 40 minutes!

So everyone have a nice weekend! I will be spending the evening watching my 15 year old place baseball - can't imagine a nicer way to spend my 45th birthday!
