Fun story about your kids connecting after everyone else had already decided they were made for each other! Glad you have someone closer to you that you can talk about primal with.

You look fantabulous!

I cannot wait till i have shopping problems of my own hehe.
I hope your CFS doesn't flare up from your walk Sounds like you have a pretty keen intuition when it comes to what your body

Oh yeah and leftovers are always a good thing

Such a cute story

[Judg]

Thank you, CM.

It was a cute story while it was happening too. LOL! And they have generated even more cuteness in the persons of their three little boys.

Well, I used up my overripe bananas in the form of Truly Primal Banana Muffins. I've had two, which was my first food of the day, along with a latte. I say truly primal, because the only sweetener was stevia and the bananas themselves, the only "flour" was almond meal, not even any gluten free flours. I added a splash of lemon juice to the mashed banana to prevent browning, because I was feeling very distracted (I have a problem working in a linear fashion sometimes) and reasoning that the flavour kick would probably work well. It did. I don't make muffins very often, but it's so nice to have a primal version, because muffins were probably my favourite snack in the bad old days. Today they are a mid-afternoon breakfast, and the rest will go in the freezer most likely, to avoid bingeing. And now I think I have used up my store of initiative for the day. I should probably try to take a walk, as this might be the last summer weather we get for a while. Currently 28 out there plus humidity, which is high 80s low 90s for you Celsius-challenged people. No more of that in the forecast.

Okay, I've set up an album of my progress. It's only five pictures long, including the two I've already posted, which refuse to show up as thumbnails, for some obscure reason. The others are inbetween shots.

You go girl! and thanks for the translation for us fahrenheit users!

[Judg]

You're welcome. I didn't get out for that walk. Feeling too lethargic, I'm afraid.

I had a fairly thick slice of nitrate-free ham for supper, plus an arugula/tomato/pepper salad. With fresh pineapple chunks. Not exactly for dessert, seeing as I ate them as the same time as the ham, but whatever. Who says I have to follow convention?

I might have a nibble later tonight, but that's it for serious eating today. I've hardly moved, so no need to eat much. I stuffed myself with the salad, so I'm feeling quite satisfied. Looking back, I might be a little low on fats, so nibbles should preferably be fatty. (I can't picture myself saying that a year ago.)

[Coll]

Enjoy a fatty nibble - got any spare pieces of bacon lurking in that fridge? Bacon never lasts long enough to get back in the fridge in our house! My son loves a little square of butter as a treat Can just imagine the reaction of CW folks to that - lol!

DH and I had a conversation lastnight about fat - he is still convinced that fat is bad for you (or when you eat it you store it), I told him well it depends on the "fat" - If it's man made fat in a bucket, bottle or jar, sure there are negative effects on the body - if it's animal fats they have little to no effect on insulin production in the body hence your body's ability to search for fat to metabolize for energy in the absense of protein and carbohydrates.
I said if fats make you fat I shouldn't be losing the fat that I'm losing then. There's more to it but I will spare you the BIO lesson. ( me too lol)

OH yeah everything is better with bacon.
