Sunday morning |
x-no-archive: yes
Well, my daughter has graduated high-school and is now enjoying
herself on "schoolies week". The pre-formal drinks went pretty well (I
was very stressed and still ill) and the formal was wonderful. :)
The graduation ceremony will stay with me for a long, long time. I
thoroughly enjoyed it. :) There were many tears shed, and much joy
and relief. She has the world at her feet now, and finally Mum can
take more of a back seat and watch her blossom into adulthood.
I am still sick though. Had more tests done and going to the doctor
again on Tuesday. I am going to insist on some heart tests as well
because my heart has never behaved like this before. I feel as weak as
a kitten and pray that whatever ails me leaves me soon as I am
supposed to go on holiday at the end of this week, and I will not be
going in the condition I am in now.
On the up side, since I have been low-carbing, the depression has
improved a lot! :) I have a lot of other stressors in my life at the
moment, and haven't crashed yet. I am feeling very hopeful about this.
But, as with the diet before, I know I need to go slowly and not get
my hopes up too high.
I am very proud of my daughter. She has been through many a rough time
over the years and managed to study and keep herself focused enough to
achieve a very respectful report card. She has a lot of inner strength
although she will need to take good care of herself both emotionally
and physically as she has inherited many of my weakness's (sp?)
The wait now begins for the O.P. scores. This is the score that will
let her know which university she gets into. She is blessed because
she has already won herself a place at a good Uni, (a high achiever's
initiative), but it isn't the exact course that she would like to do,
however she would be quite happy if she didn't make it to her first
choice.
18 years hey? Where did it all go to? :) Well that's a parents lament
all around the world.
If I could just get myself well, I could honestly say that most days,
I can feel happiness and yes, some contentment as well.
I do apologise for not being here much over the last 3 weeks or so. I
haven't been able to offer much support, nor respond to responses to
my posts. I do think of you all every day, and have a quick check in.
When things are less hectic I will be able to be less self absorbed.
All the best,

always wanted to ask, what do low-carbers _eat_ ? doesn't seem
to go with any kind of exercise either?

being inactive/inside, being out too much, etc., using some
food as incentive, I haven't

Not yet. But I'm hopeful. :)

Oh yes, exercise is an important part of the programme, however as I
have chronic fatigue syndrome I need to start out really slowly so as
not to over exert myself.
As for what to eat, the early part of the diet is the most strictest.
(2 week minimum)
I usually have either some meat and an egg for breakfast or a nice
omelette. For lunch I have either chicken or fish and salad and cheese
and some nuts, and for dinner I have either chicken, fish or meat and
the allowed vegetables. As you go onwards, you slowly add more carbs
each week until you reach the level at where you are no longer losing
or gaining weight. This can take a little bit of doing as all our
bodies are different.
When you reach this level you are on life time maintenance. I like
this way of eating and it seems to suite my body, but as with
everything it may not suite everybody. Each to their own as they say.
I keep thinking of improving my diet, but what with economics,
being inactive/inside, being out too much, etc., using some
food as incentive, I haven't
I know how hard this is to do. But I am just plain sick of being so
sick so I am trying new things to try to get my body and mind back on
track.

Thank you. :) All the best to you Contrarian.
