I'll just chime in to say that my dr. recommended a specific diet for me that is supposed to help with ovarian cysts. The idea is this: very high protein, pair carbs with protein, plenty of fruits and veggies. I'm supposed to eat a lot of proteins and if I eat non-bean/legume/veggie/some fruit carbs...

So, I got my shovelglove . . .
and man, oh, man, is that thing heavy! It still counts if it takes the whole 14 minutes to get it up off the floor, right? Seriously, I didn't get many reps or anything but I did start collecting materials to build my castle and got them back across the lake. I feel certain I'm going to feel this to...

Day 2 Great! A couple of things happened: I hosted a little tea party with my daughter and some of her friends and didn't snack. I did fix a nice hot cup of milk/cafix and sipped that and enjoyed the skits they put on for me. It really felt good to be successful. Also: we ate out tonight. I did gre...

Yes. Caloric beverages don't count as snacks. unless they are sweet. Thus, Milk: yes Choc. milk: no Tea: yes Chai Latte with the works: no OJ: yes Orange Julius: No I agree with Mimi that you should strive to enjoy your afternoon "tea" without looking to add a "snack" if at all possible. For a numb...

Mounted Ranger's Check-in
Day 1 Tuesday Lovely day and an easy one. I thought it would be hard but not as bad as I thought. I'm using about an 8 inch plate. I wanted snacks but I didn't eat them. I got the book today. I'm almost finished. INterestingly, I find that NoSing is nicely consistent with stewardship ideals and dov...

One of those goofy newbie questions . . .
I'm about 1/2 through the book so maybe it's answered there and I haven't yet seen it. If so, I apologize. I do love to have a smoothie. My basic formula is about 8 oz of (100% fruit) juice, 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt, a banana, and plenty of frozen fruit (usually berries). I generally drink part...

Back in the long ago I ran and as it happened, I discovered I could rearrange my runs to correspond with the watering schedule of a local football field. I dont' like track running but in the very hot, it was nice. The track, of course, wasnt' watered but the mist reaching the track was so comfortab...

Re: Hello! Newbie intro
I'm new and thought I'd introduce myself. I saw this mentioned at the Well Trained Mind forum (homeschooling site) and thought I've give a look. It seems so sensible. I haven't got a great deal to lose but enough that I'd really like to give this a try. I've located the book and will pick it up on ...

Welcome, rebecca! That sounds like a perfectly reasonable mod, if you think you can manage the tradeoff of perhaps smudged clarity. If it's perfectly clear in your mind that there's a difference between your evening square and sweets in general (or two squares! that's what would get me), then that'...
