gillianmckeith.info/nutrition-cacao describes some of the benefits of cacao in a way that makes me glad I am using raw organic cacao as a part of my hot slosh (WPP+espresso+cacao with VCO melting as I stir it all into a frothy mix).

I just ordered more from a sustainable-resource source - mountainroseherbs.com - that strikes me as a great place to learn more about all sorts of herbs and oils and more. All of this is just part of my education in LC living and learning about zillions of things I never knew as I wallowed in carbs and was always 'hungry' for a quality of nutrition...

Found this as I was cruising, just now, looking for inspiration for today: Posting is from 2006 - but it works for me. I'm used to being a slow starter, to catching on late. So, I'm off to check into a site that I've visited before, a site that inspires me to start off the day tying my shoes on and shining my sink. I know FlyLady works, when I work at it ...er, her... uh, ME! I'm a FlyBaby (sorta)! Just got overwhelmed when I last visited the site.

But I really DO have a better day when I...

Been watching "Under the Tuscan Sun" to help find balance - in Tuscany's light, colors, pace.

Some advice from an exotic character in the film may work for me. She is a flamboyant woman (of a certain age, as the French say) who says she was a protegée of Federico Fellini from an early age. Her childish enthusiasm is what Fellini remarked on - and part of what she recommends as a way of living life spherically, in many directions, so that adventures are drawn into one's life. Sounds like fun to me!

As I venture to change how I live, I am open to suggestions...

Thank you for any and all feedback here - on my Weight Loss JOURNAL at http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/bbs/we...om-health.html - as I reflect in this BLOG about the tools and skills I'm learning on LC boards to help me achieve my goal weight and my health goals.

I hope I'm doing this right. BLOG is for blather; JOURNAL is focused on progress as I let go of weight. Actual pounds and inches, as I let go!

Feedback helps me to feel more certain that I am growing myself up in a way that I missed doing...

The older I get, the more difficult it is to eat food that brings to mind faces of creatures I've gotten to know (slightly) as friendly cows and pigs who suffer in feedlots and slaughterhouses. Faceless flesh like ground beef and pork is less difficult - but even that sometimes makes me pause.

Faceless creatures like fish and fowl are easier to chow down on, seem to digest more easily. ALGittleman warns that chicken offers a digestive challenge to Type B bloodtypes, so I dodge chicken in favor of turkey and other fowl.

Radio this morning announced that 2008 is a...
