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 […]


Day by day, as I sit waiting for a call to schedule my back surgery, I get better, stronger, in less pain, etc. The other day I felt stable enough to attempt some ‘moves’ and I was successful in a full squat – plus standing up unassisted, w/ both legs powering, and no scaling. Huge. […]


So, I had my surgery consult Tuesday. Spent the rest of that day sort of processing the emotions and thoughts it all stirred up. Wednesday, we’ll call “Fun with Migraines”. I’m not an organized thinker, so bear w/ me. 1. My surgeon knows his shit. I learned so much – about my own situation as […]


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 […]


So, I had my MRI yesterday, and I already got the call from my neurologist w/ the results: verdict – herniated disc. He’s giving me a referral to a surgeon to discuss options. Hubby and I have talked. I will talk to my Chiro, too. Already talked to my Physical Therapist (who says I’m ready […]


In so many ways I feel better than I ever have. In other ways, I just feel old & decrepit. The supplements really helped, and I felt like I was getting better, then stuff started going numb. Fingers, toes on my left foot, and my right leg from my thigh down. My hip is hurting […]


So, I’ve started researching adrenal fatigue. In my last post, I alluded to some of the stuff I’ve been dealing with the last several months. Stress, stress, and more stress, and bad sleep & bad food – sometimes, and stress, and emotional distress, and hormonal crap, etc. etc. etc. The bulk of my stress-load lifted […]


  Three more pounds, folks! Three, and I’ll have dropped 100 pounds like the 1000 bad habits it took to get here. Was able to get to CrossFit yesterday, though I did more stretching, warm-up on the rower, gentle walking, foam rolling, and very scaled back exercise (air squats to a box and push press […]


OMG, I’m so freaking close, I can taste it!! Thanks to adding CrossFit to my Paleo lifestyle, I’ve dropped 10.5 pounds the last two weeks. Four more and I can officially claim I’ve lost 100 pounds from my highest weight. God Bless CrossFit for kicking things into high gear again! Celebrating with BBQ pulled pork […]
