So... How'd Your Day Go?

Have had a month now of good exercise days. Now walking up to five miles. Calorie counting. Watching carbs. (BTW, carbs don't move too fast. They're still over there, in that package labeled "chocolate," so I know they don't move too fast on their own!--have not voluntarily touched chocolate in a month!) Am doing something wrong--have been gaining, not losing. Muscle? More likely it's my new "diet." Recently realized the carbs in my daily supplement exceed the carb count allowed to do keto. (Sigh.) Might just go back to simply calorie counting. It's simpler and last summer it worked.

If it's white, hard pass. White sugar, white rice, white flour... Schwarzenegger called it, "The White Death." From my days as a boxer, the saying was, "Bakeries have ruined far more boxers than wine, women, and song."

Boxer? Nice! How was that?

Also, sorry to hear about your AC. :(

I'm trying to lose more weight too, so I'm trying to stay away from white bread. I'll try to incorporate brown rice and pasta into the mix if I can.

Whilst in the Army, I was also a boxer. I didn't fare too badly. My record was 17 wins, 11 KO, 1 defeat. I boxed at 165 lbs, middleweight.

I myself fear avoiding wheat is my best option. I need to take a blood sample test to determine if I inherited celiac disease from my mother's family. It's a terrible allergy to have.

Oh man... I am so sorry. How awful. :-(

It's manageable even though I know it can be problematic to avoid wheat. One of my brothers does have it (the youngest brother). I have a cousin in the family who also has it. It's not a common disease around here. Because the population rarely gets diagnosed with it. My brother started a charity 1 year ago for celiacs but there is a lack of sponsors where I am from. I am not afraid of having it. I am aware I would have to eat at home. From having seen my brother deal with it I'd have to read the ingredients if I was ever to have diagnosed with the disease to see if it has gluten and even the medicine must be checked. I can handle it if I do have it. I know my grandmother's sister also has it. Someone can live with celiac disease in today's world. You eventually get used to it. My mom eats bread made from rice. All the sweets are sweeter if made with gluten. It's made with almond flour, coconut flour, vegetable flour. I am use to living with celiacs so I won't need to worry. I think diabetes is a worse condition to live with in some respects. I don't even eat candy as much anymore since there are relatives of my family that suffers from diabetes.

My wife is on a similar diet. She's not been diagnosed, but a lot of her symptoms are a little suspicious. She feels better when she's not ingesting gluten. She's primarily on vegetables, fruit, and then fish, chicken, or ground beef, if she has to have meat. Meat is hard for her to digest, as well.

Way TKO! (I hope that was mildly amusing.) :P

I've come up with a way to defeat door-to-door salesmen. I've had two security and three solar salesmen come to the door in less than a week, and they always show up around suppertime and ring the doorbell. I've decided that salesman #6 is in for a real surprise. After he rings the bell, I'm going to stand on the other side of the closed door and make Chewbacca noises at him until he goes away.
