Update

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

Hope you remember me. I have not posted in months. We had relocated back to

Michigan a year ago from the south. My dh got a job up here then lost it after

two months. I've had a p/t job in the meat dept. of the local grocery store for

nearly a year. Most days, I still enjoy my job.

The stress of my dh losing yet another job (his career was in plastics industry

for auto industry) really threw me this last time. I added back into our diet

some carbs. Unfortunately, I have gained back all thirty of the pounds I had

lost before ever going on your diet. I'm still having the egg drink everyday

and 5-6 Tbsp. of Coconut oil everyday along with my supplements but cannot seem

to budge on my weight. My coworkers were sickly this past winter but I was not.

I only got sick once and that was for three days after my dh was in the hospital

with an abcess and a flare-up of MRSA. He was in for six days and I went to see

him every day after work. When he got home, my body required about three days

of complete rest. After that, I have been fine.

This is a roundabout way of saying I am tired of feeling fat. I have started

getting on my rebounder again--more faithfully this time. I'm starting to

forego any bread or starches (although creamy decaf coffee drinks are my

downfall but I try to limit those.) I was so proud of my weight loss a year

ago--I can't believe how one winter holiday season could bring all that weight

back on!!

Anyway, just wanted you to know, Bee, I am still plugging along and am still

very thankful for all your wisdom in this area. Got " Nourishing Traditions " for

Christmas and try to use recipes in there when cooking off-diet things. My

brain fog is not as bad on the once-in-awhile days I don't take my supps, just

to give my body a break. Still, even with the concessions, I am healing. I

have a better understanding of my body than ever before. I feel stronger, even

if I'm not svelte. :~)

Hugs and love from me to you,

Cathe
