One has only to google Keto diet (or ketosis, ketogenic diet, etc) with or without the Paleo addition to learn more than enough of the purported benefits of the diets/lifestyles. Please, don’t make be drop a LMGTFY. I have exactly four weeks until I have back surgery to repair a herniated disc in my low […]


I guess, considering my state of ill-health and morbid obesity for nearly half my life, it could be considered no small miracle that I’ve only ever had surgery once (I am not counting when I had my wisdom teeth out, K). The kind where you get the warnings about anesthesia and you get to breathe […]


So, at what point in your journey will you make the shift? Will you always be the person you were the second you decided to be that person no more? Is that your ‘normal’? So, if life intervenes you are just returning to that ‘norm’? Or, will you eventually *BE* a new person? Will you […]


I have decided that if it’s offered to me as a viable option, I will be having surgery to treat the herniated disc. Then, I will do what I know how to do to keep the other discs I found out are ‘bulging’ from getting as bad as the herniated one. Today I went to […]


Hello World. Been a while, huh. I wish I could say it’s been a Tahitian vacation or I’ve set some sort of speed-eating-bacon world record in my time away. Unfortunately, I’ve been kinda dying. I’ve spent every day since Thanksgiving in wretched pain. I thought it was my back again. Over-indulgence over the holidays. The […]


I haven’t visited my own blog since the end of October. I started writing a post then got distracted & just never came back. Life is what it is. I’m still grieving and processing stuff from the last 7 months. Still working on me, my marriage, and my life. Got off track w/ that & […]


So, I survived without coffee yesterday. Barely. The night before I’d had nothing but nightmares & I was exhausted. I did have some chai green tea, but no coffee. No UTI or bladder stuff, either. Moods were definitely more off kilter – I’m putting that down to bad sleep. I watched Van Wilder & held […]


Alcohol is bad, yo. Oh, Geez. lol. (Bonus points for getting that reference.) Seriously, though. Super-clean Paleo has helped so much in a relatively short time. I feel so much less over-emotional, way more balanced. Sort of flat, but in comparison, it would be – doesn’t mean it’s not properly emotional. I’m still waiting to […]


Weight has come down nicely. 225.6 this morning. Made plans for the food we’ll have at Thanksgiving. Still need to decide what I’m going to do for my son’s birthday instead of what he’s requested, but I will do that in plenty of time & do all the shopping at the same time. I’ve been […]


I have spent the time since therapy contemplating stuff. It was a good session. I also signed up for the coping skills class – that starts Monday. According to the psychologist, I definitely have Bipolar 2. That’s good – less severe than 1. The anger stuff may have started out because of the bipolar swings […]
