:wave::wave: Becky, CC, Leah, Shay, Anthem, and Trish. I was hungry so I just came down stairs and had a muffin. I had to get some cream for a rash anyway. ha! It's rare for me to eat before bed but it has been a very busy week.

That's for sure! My daughter and son in law live out of state, so I haven't seen them "in the flesh" yet, but the photo I saw shows that they look a LOT smaller. In turn, this makes me think that if I could follow the same plan, maybe *I* could be a lot smaller the next time they're up here.

It's rare that I ever want to go sign up for Weight Watchers or anything like that any more; it's always low carb that draws me in, and that's because the science is there that shows eating that way really enhances health.

I'm really silly. This morning I got up and thought, hmm, maybe I ought to try to "ease into" eating primal, like my daughter is doing. I'll need groceries for that.

So off I went to the store, and bought a bunch of stuff to start low carbing. I also bought ice cream bars and sodas to have here for when my grandsons and their friends come over.

I got home, put the new groceries away, then for lunch ate two slices of leftover pizza from the other night.

There goes the low carbing, right out the window, because I sure don't want to rope myself into that.

Luckily, we can still eat the food I bought. I just won't say I'm low carbing. I just cannot force myself into that type of restriction, no matter how much my mind tells me I'd *like* to do it.

Then when I think about it more, I have to admit that my mind doesn't really want to low carb either, or I'd be doing it already.

I think I'll just go eat an ice cream bar, then get on with my day. :lol:

Becky, I haven't lost much weight in a year but I still can't give up IE. I just feel like you are using your God given cues for eating.

Finally read The Price of Cake........loved it.

Forgot to say I just finished an hours worth of tilling the garden. Wow that is hard!!!!

On to Intuitive Eating #14.

I haven't had time to read much less write here recently. We spent past 2 weeks deciding what to do about DHs's DD and her family. Finally decided this past weekend that they are moving here. They talked to family there, boss etc and called last night and they will be moving up here in the house with us the 1s of August so children can start the school year at the beginning here on the 15th instead of the middle of the year. I spent last 2 days finding out where they'll be going to school and what they need to do to transfer here etc.

Now starts the real work for me. I've got to do lots of cleaning, cleaning out drawers etc so we can move furniture around so they can move some of their things in. They are going to have to put some things in storage and we will too to make room so this will work.

The economy hasn't helped with jobs etc in FL so the plan is for them to live with us for about a year, hopefully her hubby can find a job (she has a part-time online job which will go fulltime) so they can save money to put down on a house here in town hopefully in our neighborhood association to get their on place. Housing etc is cheaper here. She wants to make a career change in medicine which requires schooling (she works in docs office now) and needs to be living here in town so she can get on a waiting list at the technical school and hopefully be able to get in the next class. Her DS is a senior and needs to be living in this state to go to college here. New beginnings and changes. This is where we have to really trust in the Lord to help us all.

Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten y'all. Life has just gotten busy and it promises to be even more so when they get moved in. Six more people and a dog should prove to be very interesting to say the least. I've just got to get myself ready for it. I have really missed having family around us so it will be nice to have them here.

I'll get back from time to time as I can.

Hey all. I am back from market. Trying to catch up on stuff. Eating, weight and blood sugar up and down like a roller coaster, but will get better now that we are home and the holiday is over, hubby birthday the 5th so 2 days of eating but today back to normal!! Have a blessed day.
