Yay - a 400 gram loss this week!! Not bad but not that great either really. But then I haven't been that great myself so what can I expect!
Was at the Dr late last night with suspected Kidney pain (either an infection or Kidney stones - just waiting on test results and having an ultrasound tomorrow) and while I was there she took my Blood Pressure - it's not good at all! Gone up quite a bit since my last appointment on the 2nd Feb so I really do need to watch that or I will end up on medication for it! And I don't want to.... so it comes back to me eating healthy and making my body healthier too.
I was talking to my mother in law over the weekend, and she is right behind me with this new lifestyle as she too really believes in eating natural foods (i.e. unprocessed crap) and she is currently reading a book called "Eat Fat, Lose Fat" which I will read after her. She did admit that she can see my difficulty with Stephan not eating vegetables which makes it harder to cook a lot of dishes but I am gonna give it a dam good shot! Why did I end up with the fussiest of her children?? LOL
Have decided not to update my progess on FB each week now - I may post when I reach mini goals but have decided that as it seems to be 1 step forward, 2 back at the moment that I will concentrate on updating here more frequently and perhaps will be brave and post a link on FB when I have updated here....

Hi Karen, I'm still reading your blog (I did mention that I'd stopped reading a few blogs on my blog).
That sounds like a good book, don't know it but I'm sure if they say eat fat, lose fat it will be OK.
Do you know what? I've been thinking about your husband... he really does not eat veges? Just because he is not fat (is he?? don't think he is) it does not mean he is healthy!! Many, many people who get heart disease etc are slim. You need to cook up a storm for you and your daughter, forget that he does not like veges!!! Heck when Fletcher stays here he eats every kind of vege you put in front of him except raw tomato. hehe... there is always one thing.
Do what you need to do. High blood pressure is one thing that can be controlled along with blood sugar. It is a total life change and you know that. I really can't say more than you already know but I do think the time for change is now, not later. I know you want to be healthy and here when Rachel has babies.
Hey Karen, I just looked up that book. One of the authors is the lady I'm going to see talk on Sunday, Sally Fallon!! Remember, if you up the fat you have to LOWER the carbs!!
Hang in there Karen ... I hope your doctor sorts out the kidney issue quickly for you. That won't be helping how you feel and motivation etc. Remember that you've lost heaps of weight in the past - so you can do it again :) With you every step of the way! P.S. I didn't realise that Stephan doesn't eat vegetables. Maybe you can eventually convince him that they aren't that bad after all :)
