Hey - did you see the friday success story? I'm wondering what supplements she is taking - and if they would do anything to help with my energy levels too! I might try to pm her and find out what the scoop is.

No, not yet. It hadn't been posted yet when I did the rounds yesterday morning. It might have to wait - I've been procrastinating badly this morning - but I will get around to it later today.

I feel your pain!

LOL! And my almost-new food processor is refusing to work. Boo!

I am not doing very well sticking to the leptin reset protocol. I'm not too surprised; I've never been too good at unnatural regimentation. I'm being good in a primal sense, just not following the reset rules too well. Still, I've been quite low-carb and avoided all sugars (except in carrots and beets) which is my primary goal for the short term, so I'm not too bummed out about it.

Made myself a pumpkin-spice latte this morning, with cream and stevia, and totally forgot to eat breakfast after that. You see what I mean? Eggs and coconut oil just don't motivate me to eat, I guess. Eggs are okay two, at most three times a week, and after that they start to repel me. And as I am trying to severely limit my dairy, my old trick of scrambling or adding cheese is not a good fall-back position. A few more days, and I'll go back to my normal way of eating - I feel all bent out of shape. But the results have been good, in that I'm playing with new lows again. My dream scenario is to drop another two or three pounds quickly and then go back to maintenance. We will see.

I loved the comment about the smoke alarm, I have renamed ours the "steak alarm"

Well for goodness sake - do NOT use a mandolin. Learn from my experience!

[Judg]

LOL! Yes, ma'am.

The best chocolate bar I ever had was a dark chocolate one containing finely ground coffee. So the brilliant idea occurred to me recently to emulate that with my Judg Fudg. I have a coffee grinder, and in colder weather there is enough static in freshly ground coffee that some of it will stick to the sides of the receptacle and refuse to pour out into my coffee-maker. But give it enough time, the static dissipates and a sharp rap on the receptacle will dislodge the stuff. I now pour that very finely ground coffee (because it's the finest stuff that sticks, of course) into my Judg Fudg while mixing it. *Bliss*

Feeling a little shaky this morning, for reasons unknown. Staying home. I'm bleaching out my kitchen compost container in case the mould is bothering me, but I kind of doubt it. Still, it can't hurt. I normally clean it frequently, but I'd been falling down on that.

uh oh.............. hope it passes quickly! Take care, Judg!

[DCarr10760]

Yeah, I hope it's just a momentary thing! Feel better!
