MyKidLuvsGreenEgz .. .. COLORADO IS BURNING

[abifae]

Well, first time in quite a while, I have an appetite.

I guess I have to spend money on food this weekend. *laughs*

 

[MyKidLuvsGreenEgz]

Whatcha gonna get, Miss Abi Fae?

 

[abifae]

Hmmmmm... i might cook up a roast. It is still so hot... crock pot roast... cooked on the back porch...

 

[MyKidLuvsGreenEgz]

Got one in the crockpot now! Yummy yummy!

 

[valmom]

Yum! I did a pot roast today, too I put a glug of kombucha vinegar in the water. It is nice!

 

[Wifezilla]

I have turkey to cook but it is too darn hot in the house. OH!!! I have a roaster. Roaster on the back porch it is!!

and MK, since you are staying put, I will get you those chufa nuts soon. I just need to go through the bag and sort them...make sure none are bad

 

[Denim Deb]

Maybe I should get a pot roast tomorrow, and throw it in the crock pot on Sunday. Then, if the power does go out, at least we'll have one good meal.

 

[abifae]

I totally forgot I have a chicken, thawed, to cook tonight.

Dur.

Crap. Well, it might be done by midnight....

So THAT's why I'm so fat! Because I'm constantly preparing for Winter!


Nice dialogue, there, Abi. If only.

Last night was kinda cool, with a nice breeze coming in the window. Unfortunately, I just couldn't shut up my mind. I constantly get songs stuck in there. For the past 5 days, it's been "diamonds are a girls best friend" by Marilyn Monroe. Then thinking about not going nutso with more animals, and getting rid of some of what we have. Concentrating on protein via nuts and seeds, chickens, eggs and dairy. Thinking about how to get my son to start calming down. Settling FIL's estate without me leaving home again. My mother's got a "spot on her liver" and a lot of other health issues.

But ... things are looking up.

And I absolutely plan to get some sleep tonight, even if I have to increase sleep meds! And sleep with a cold wet towel across me.

Oddly enough, you just about hit the nail with that.
See, every time we limit calories below what our body is used to eating, we may see a bit of weight drop off, but then that biological drive to hold onto extra weight kicks in, and no more weight will come off. Then, when more calories are added back to the diet, the body scrambles to get back to its weight set point, and, just for good measure, as a protection for this occurring again in the future, a little more is added.

That's why the cure is REAL food, good fats, and cut out things that are just empty calories.
