Coconutoil is amazing

I love this site. Coconutoil.com At our house we have used this brand of coconut oil for over 5 years now. Its an amazing thing to know and understand. I am even going to make my own deodorant with it and add a few essential oils so it smells the way I want a deodorant to smell. I have made it into a lotion and the C boy used it all up after spending every day life guarding out by the lake.
Link where you can buy coconut oil online. The kind you cook with and make bread with stuff like that.

Did you know how it can help go here and learn. Coconut Oil and Diabetes.
Are you worried about this because it runs in your family? Research on Alzheimer's
All fats are not equal so what does this make you think. Research on Saturated Fats.

Fractionated coconut oil is the oil we use if there is an essential oil to hot to use directly on the skin. We buy it here go ahead click that link and then go to the shopping  button and it looks like this.
 

Reminds me of some  tanning oil I used as a teenager hmm. enjoy!

136.8 Success is emanate.

I am back to the low spot and still have a day worth of drops. Must have missed a bit when using or there just happens to be extra in my bottle.
I have learned that in order for me to be accountable I need to keep my workout schedule. Of course if you are doing this potocol and haven't had a workout including a simple walk everyday please start out slow and easy. Seeing a Dr. would be a really good plan at the very begining so if there is anything that could hold you up then you will be prepared to deal with it at the top end not in the middle when you wish you had had a heads up.
I walked 2 miles today and felt so much better and in control of myself compared to 2 days ago.
I do wish that I could tighten the gut up lots more but I need to be patient because seven pregnancies with one a C-section really kills your muscle structure. But I can fix it I am determined.

Lunch:Chicken grilled, a cucumber on the run and melba rounds in a bowl with an apple to follow it up.
Dinner: Curry fish with the wasa cracker making a sandwich. Oranges on the side and sauteed celery with the curry sauce made from a bit of coconut oil. Now I better clarify this is cold expeller pressed oil not hydrogenated coconut oil.

A football game was cancelled because the team never showed up so this opened me up to attend my churches Mother Daughter ice cream night. Nervous but I still went. Glory be, didn't have a single craving need at all and had fun with all the lovely ladies of my church. I think I just might make it to the end of this round without another crashing day. I realize that what I crave now is healthy foods that build my system not the sugar, candy stuffs. I want real good nutrition to feel me up now days.

147.4 Chocolate addictions??

Carrot cake scale rise not to bad only .8 above the set point so far. I am going to be good today because the garden is calling loudly and it's all green and luscious. Sweet peppers, spinach, butter crunch, radishes, red leaf lettuce mmmmmm. My mouth is watering for the salad that I will make today with sauteed chicken chunks.

Now if the chillens will just stay calm and sit by vegatably just watching T.V. I might be able to regain the house front and stop tripping on wet shorts and towels from water play and also keep the floor dry for more then an hour today. Maybe get some blankets washed and hidden so that the hut making slows. DREAM ON GIRL that's not going to happen until the school bell rings and they are back on a schedule. They are like a pack of dogs these boys lately just busy and hunting for things to do.

Breakfast: Pretty girl surprised me and had shrimp and peppers cooked to share with her.
Lunch: Tacos with lettuce, peppers, and spinach from our garden. A tiny bit of beans a tiny bit of wild rices and sour creams and the most delicious taco shell made from cheese eggs and cauliflower here's the link to get that amazing recipe. My kids ate every single shell that I made and didn't guess once that it was made with an egg.
Dinner:Popcorn and salad what a combo. Went to the park and watched movies on the side of the old log house.

I really like this Spicy Maya but I also love my own concoction of equal parts coconut oil, and coco dark powder with 1/2 cup coconut cream, 1/2 cup butter, almonds broken up, maybe some dried blueberries, or other crunchy nuts too. Sweeten with Stevia to your desire. Place in pan melt down and then put in paper candy cups place in freezer to harden and eat when needed.

I am playing, my computer will only past and copy this for some dang reason.

149 It stuck! YES! Tea Please!

I have now been converted to drinking tea in the morning (I in the past did not like it). It keeps me warm these days so I need it. I only drink herbal teas without caffeine because I do not like that bursting energy that caffeine's give you and I never have been a big caffeine drinker in the past either.
So I have been paying attention to what is good and not so good about some of the teas.

Black Tea: Lots of caffeine and tannins are in this kind.

Dieters Tea: Senna can be dependant making to your bowels. Addictions become a problem also.

Smooth Move Tea: Same at the above named tea, dependant making too.

Rooibo's Tea: My oldest son loves it and did before he went to the country of it's origin.

Yerba Mata: It's ok not sure I like the natural caffeine that makes me buzzed but I am kind of craving it the R2 on HCG that I did. Strange I haven't really ever liked tea before this diet.

Herbal Tea: Well I am liking the ones that are fruit, but that is not really an allowed on the HCG diet R2 phase. So peppermint's and chamomiles might be a bit safer to use.

I have now decided to drink my chocolate, coconut oil with Tension Tamer every morning since it helps keep me warm and must be making my metabolism jump started.
With this new breakfast that I have started drinking more my middle guy wanted to try it, he was not impressed even though he did drink it all gone. It tastes like nothing is all that he would say about it.

Breakfast: 1 orange with choco, coconut oil, Tension Tamer tea mixed together.
Lunch: Turkey burger soup with onions & Quinoa. I did not eat any toasts because of the quinoa grain that was in my soup.
Dinner:Halibut, on a melba round 4 actually and asparagus.
Miles: I intended to not do any today to take a break, but someone encouraged me so 5 total 1 running that's 10,000 on my C boys Ipod pedometer.

149.0 Will it stick or bounce up again?

No fat no sugar Chocolate mixed in Tension Tamer tea with coconut oil, a tablespoon. I understand that it is supposed to make your metabolism jump start and get burning, the oil is supposed to do that. I have been reading in this book with notes on how it's working for others. Read here. We bought a big 5 gallon bucket for food storage 3 years ago and then I forgot about it's goodness in all the crazy keeping up I had to do. Another source from another country. It really seemed to help me move to a new number lets see what happens tomorrow since I haven't even been dropping the promised pound let alone good ounces.

Breakfast: With the tea an apple.
Lunch: Turkey burger on a melba round or rounds I should say I divided. Along with a tomato slice.
Dinner: Cod, green salad, bread crumbs, one roll, Tomatoe slices, Two spoonfulls of Hubby's birthday treat dangerous. 1 grapefruit half.
Miles: 1.5 miles running outside pushing a head wind half way. Glad to have it push me on the way back. Finished 3.5 on treadmill 72 min at 4.5 pace. I just can't get faster it seems. But I feel dang good today that's for sure. That's 10,218 steps yeah I did it today, made the goal.

Gratitude first I must SIGH and then be glad I can fit into shorts that I haven't worn for at least 8 years. Also I am warm today that's nice.

150.4 Did I want to lose my chest or have my waist?

Did I really want to lose my whole top? It's what seems to be leaving the fastest. Soon I will need a new cup size (smaller), the only advantage that I had when I did weigh to much was the top. I remember back to my 20's I was never very big so it's not something that was my hubbies number one desire. I remember when I lost some 11 years ago back to that 110 spot and thinking about taking up a fund for lifting surgery enhancement. He said he didn't care as long as I was healthy. Here I am again feeling a slimmer waist but wishing to start a fund, even my daughter is going to be bigger then me when I am done losing. Oh well at least I am still loved by him.

Breakfast: Grapefruit half with tea this morning. My tea had better help me keep warm I made a concoction with Dark Chocolate and some coconut oil in my tea. It helped me like the taste and kept me warm.
Lunch: Hamburger, asparagus, with a wasa cracker.
Dinner: Chicken soup with spinach and broth and grissini mixed in. Strawberries sprinkled with powdered stevia.
Miles: Three miles for sure. One mile running. 7,212 steps I helped irrigate with hubby 30 acres an hour of walking. It's not the most brisk heart racing kind of walking but it was consistent to a point.

Visiting a time old tradition.

I remember as a small girl going with my Nana June and collecting asparagus on the ditch banks near her house in Idaho. I can still recall the wonder I had inside me that there would be something growing out there that was edible. She would steam it and cut it up with salt and butter. It was the best treat ever that I always looked forward to in the spring. The year after my hubby and I moved back to his ranch at the beginning of our married life I was so excited to find that there was a whole field of wild asparagus next to our ranch. My Mother-in-law took me across the wild tall grasses and there in a clearing were great big stalks of the wintered over bushes that had gone to seed. These stalks are the tale tell sign that you have a great find. We would gather and gather and be back in a about two to three days to again gather. Alas the field stopped producing because of flooding so now I am back to scavenging along the ditch on our ranch for small amounts compared to the hauls that we used to get.

After learning that this diet called for the wonderful treat of course without butter I was excited to have spring come. This way on my second round I could eat the really fresh wild grown vegetable that I remember finding as a child. So here's a photo shoot of my scavenging adventure on our ditch banks.
Maybe I will even go visit the old field and see if any new starts might have started back up these 6 years later since my last visit.
Thanks Nana for showing me a wonderful God given treat!

What yummy dinners these green shoots make. The first meal is made with the asparagus and a side of black peppered halibut with thin Wasa crackers.
The next dinner is Chicken cooked in Cold Expeller pressed Coconut oil and Wasa bread which is much thicker then a cracker.

156.0 Not so much wreckage as first noted.

I set ok weight wise, the diets isn't totally dead. I did drink that nasty dieters tea last night before bed after feeling like I might never be able to sit up straight again from my Mothers Day dinner out. I do not feel well I am nursing the sniffles and cramps with my little guy who has sniffles too but must stay well at all costs till after this weekend, well forever would be nice too.

Lunch: Chicken sauted in cold expler pressed coconut oil. With spinach and and orange in the mix. Melba rounds on top.
Dinner: Onion boiled with my venison in homemade chicken broth and a wasa cracker crumbled over the soup. Frozen strawberries with Stevia sprinkled on top.
Miles: I stayed in bed I didn't feel good at all.

I am a bit distracted by the up coming stuff.
