Chris, I love that you listed Positive Mental Attitude as one of the non scale results of lchf. So True!
You ladies probably already know this, but I moved my fat up to 80% and my carbs to 20 or less about the middle of January. That is when I truly hit NK.
Thanks! I can't even think the letters PMA without thinking of cheerleading camps that I went to and then never tried out! I wanted to sit in the stands and socialize, but I enjoyed the week long camps.
I am working my way towards that Paula, but when I did induction I felt so crappy I didn't want to chance it, so I am taking the slow measured approach. I am getting closer though. The higher fat would likely make a difference, but literally nothing worked when I did it the first time, so going slow is hopefully gonna do it.
I need to look at those macros like Paula suggested. I may need to keep the carbs at 20 or less and up the fat. I am still searching for that sweet spot.
Karin, forgot to mention in your journal that I found a pinning board like pinterest except for paleo recipes. Have to watch cause it isn't low carb, but I think they generally don't use dairy, so it could be interesting....[url=http://pinthatpaleo.com/#]Pin That Paleo[/url]
ok, so I just caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look cute today:o My hair is just the right amount of mussed and done, my face looks clearer and thinner, my eyes look bright and sparkley...cute, I feel good (taking a break from cutting up the t-shirts)
:). Your post brightens my day.
heehee, thanks, and yours brightens mine! I was kind of embarrassed to put it, but I caught myself thinking it every time I saw my reflection. It actually kept catching me off guard. Not that I don't think highly of how attractive my face is, but well, lately I have sort of been put off by the "puffiness" of it, and less than impressed. Today, it is starting to look more like what I look like in my head.
I think those observations are important Chris. I love it!!

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one who stops in front of the mirror and tells herself how good she looks. I thought I was getting a little vain.
ok, yeah, really, thanks guys, I was a little worried about the vanity part of it all.
