Hi all---
Lori---Ugh, UTI's are no fun. Have had them myself. SO good you got in there and nipped it in the bud. They can go systemic and be dangerous. I wouldn't worry about the antibiotics too much, much better than the alternative!
Trigger---Fun day for you and Barb! Love a day out w/a gal pal.
Nic---I'm curious, what does "paint night" consist of? Sounds fun, but I'm wondering what kind of fun.
Yeah, me too Nic on the struggle with the "unanswered news." Have I mentioned I hate irresolution? Yeah, I think I have about 30 times. BUT, what I am beginning to explore in my positive list is that unanswered news gives one some room to let things resolve themselves, to find the opportunities. You're not getting everything you want, for sure, but you might be getting more than you thought in the end that answers to things you haven't dared to want.
Like for me, living a lot smaller, but without so much stress. With less STUFF and space, but more freedom. EVERY decision is a trade off.
Jaz---OMG, little Ava looks almost strapping if you can't see the contrast between her and other full term babies. THANK YOU so much for the pix!!!! Ava doesn't even know it and she has 5 Low carb aunties following her every move and stretch for growth.
Wow, can't believe your pal showed up with such a surprise! Know there's lots of back story here we're not hearing. 2 days in your small apartment w/some guy you used to love, but DON'T now, oh my. Pheeeeeeeeeew. Bet you're feeling plenty OK w/having your own life back.
K-mom---I have found that if I have only ONE planned treat---not a day or a whole meal of it, and IF I snap back the next day, and even make an extra effort to cut down on even my LC food, I don't see much damage on the scale.
Staying calm isn't just good for your heart, it's good for all of us.
They say we are what we eat. True enough. But I also think we are what we THINK. It takes discipline to not let the self talk and stream of consciousness stray down stressful and negative paths for too long. I have to short stop that in myself all the time these days. And just say, you have NOW, and it's a good day. Let it be, and move on tomorrow.
Wed. water: 4/3

Another super busy day for me. Work stuff and personal stuff. So many i's to dot and t's to cross these days. Taking them as they come, some days I can do more, some days less. Some days I just tell myself get these 3 things done and you're DONE, unless you want to go further. And sometimes I do.
Other than my iced cream and coffee this AM---had to give up the BPC for a bit as it was messing w/my tummy---I am having a one meal day. Dinner, and I'm off to it. Nice New York strip and a wedge salad w/tomatoes, black olives and blue cheese and sunflower seeds.
Another day on plan. I'll take it.
