3-39pm
With today being Day 8 of my LCHF new and improved eating lifestyle, I made one fundamental breakfast error. I forgot to put in nuts! In so doing, I discovered how sustainable fat is. Breakfast was strawberries and raspberries, smothered in double cream natural yoghurt, a dollop of marscapone cheese and a splash of cream. I forgot the nuts! On the way to my 10am appointment, I nibbled on about 10g of biltong. By lunchtime, I was hardly hungry. My blood sugar level didn’t feel low. Because it was lunchtime I felt I should eat, so I purchased this delicious, high fat, low carb, yum yum treat…
I ate most of it! 🙂 In the last 8 days, I have lost a full 1kg and the scale says I’m heading down! This is going to be a lifestyle change, so I’m in it for the long haul. To that end, although I would like to lose a bit more weight, I can imagine losing a bit more weight until my body finds it’s natural weight for my needs.
As for the rest of the day, I loved the sunrise…
And at 10am, I had a French Manicure…early birthday present…
Hope it lasts ’til my birthday! 🙂 By 11-20, I was at Revelstone…
… then went shopping, came home, had cheese, coffee and a chat with David. After that I took Granny’s walker to Living Hope and visited her. I got her up to see how mobile she is…she can hardly walk 🙁 After visiting her, I dropped by to see my good friend Avril! I miss her!!! We hardly see each other and we have the same sense of humour, so we had a good laugh! I chatted to her about Granny and remembered that I told Granny a while ago she would ‘die under our roof.’ Some how I have to make good on that. A possible plan is to put her back in the cottage with a carer. …so that’s being thought about now. It was good to speak to Stacey on whatsapp this afternoon. She was so encouraging giving me some wise advice. Avril took this photo of me outside Living Hope…
Back at home, the vine has gone mad…
You can almost see it growing overnight!
Two months ’til Christmas! Friday tomorrow!
Psalm 37: 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Good advice.
God bless you!
In His Grip,
