Just came back from Austin, Texas where I went for the long weekend.  I had never been before.  Cool place.  A lot to do and see.   Plenty of live music and a lot of people out to see it all!  The good news is that the friend that I met in Texas is the…

I’ve been trying to wear the same jeans each week to my weigh in.  Jeans weigh a lot and I was trying to keep things consistent.  I think many of us play these little games with the scale.  I know they are getting bigger, but fresh out of the dryer, they are still ok I…

My first week back on the plan after my surgery was a big success.  In fact, I lost the most I have since week 1 of the program.  I have to attribute this to the depletion of glycogen stores that I had probably replenished while off program during my recovery (see?  we do learn a…

I’ve been on blogging hiatus for a couple of weeks due to an unexpected medical procedure.  During this two week time period, food held very little interest for me.  I was wondering if I could harness that lack of interest somehow!  Would sure make dieting a lot easier.  While recovering, I ended up going off…

I haven’t seen some of my relatives since I started Ideal Protein.  They immediately noticed my weight loss, and gave me some great compliments.  That was all fantastic!  But then when they asked what I was doing, and I told them, I heard some negative remarks, which really surprised me.  “Oh, I hear ketosis is…

Some family members are coming to visit from the north east in about a week.  They’re desperate to get out of the cold weather, so we’re meeting in LA.  I hope it’s nice enough to take them to the beach – even if we just sit there in sweatshirts and take in some sun.  But…

At the beginning of this journey, I was weighing myself every day (or maybe even more than once a day!).  And I’d start my day either energized or demoralized.  My coach, Renee, gave me some very specific feedback, “Put the scale away!”.  I resisted for a couple of weeks, but I finally took her advice…
