“We can’t manage what we don’t measure.” - W. Edward Demmings

The last 2 days were rough. I was in a great amount of pain. (Back and hips) So, I did not get to go out on my daily walk. However, this morning I could feel the pain lighten and so, I was able to get myself outside. Yay. I noticed some really nice improvements. My speed increased slightly. The distance between rests lengthened and I was able to go further. Also, I could pick up my feet. I didn't limp and I was able to pick up my pace when I wanted to and wasn't breathless on a slight incline. I still feel good enough to go out later.

I listened to the most interesting podcast from the Mind Pump Show. It was called, "How to become a muscle Mommy - Mind Pump 2340 This is from the guys who wrote, 'Thinner, Leaner, Stronger'. Ladies, we have been lied to and we are setting ourselves up for all kinds of diseases and pain, if we don't start building muscle now. So that, as we age, we can fully enjoy our lives.

Now, I've got to go feed my muscles...;))

Yup doing cardio was all a crock along with low fat starvation to lose weight. Lift lift lift. I can't walk a lot. Max 6000 steps a day. As long as we are moving. Now let's get pumped 💪

Ps, 16 months ago I could barely walk from my car to my front door. Had to stop many times. I hope you feel better.

jenjabba your note really touched my heart. I know how difficult that must've been for you. I guess that is why you inspired me so much from the time I saw your selfie, looking like the very picture of health. I thought to myself, "that's the energy and gusto that I want!". It's a long road to hoe, but I think it is worth it. Thank you. Muscles! :))

Aww thanks. We will get there together. One barbie doll weight at a time. I've got h these tiny pink ones I do my shoulder rehab with. Ohh ohh thanks for that podcast info. I've never heard it but I did download to listen on my next walk. Look are deceiving! Today I'm so wiped out, I'm lying in bed. I may be thin now but I'm not strong. I've got chronic fatigue that I fight fight fight So, losing the weight was just the beginning! I do feel MUCH BETTER. I do know I couldn't have gotten here without carnivore. It helped my brain so much more than just keto. There were so many bad days. When I was losing it, I'd have a pack of bacon 🥓 😋 bacon cured my bad cravings lol. I'd fall off, and get back up. I'm in the groove now, usually.

That's really all we can do, is tackle each day's challenges as they come and encourage each other along the way. It sounds as though you are preparing to become an Olympic-level overcomer! You are a fighter and an overcomer. But what you have been going thru is very tough. You did alot over the weekend! No wonder you are so exhausted. But I understand. You want to do more and expect to do more with your life than be forced back to bed. (I'm in the same boat.) We will get stronger. Keeping our eyes forward, pressing ahead, focused on our goals...one baby pink hand weight at a time, Lord willing. :)) You mentioned that carnivore helped your brain. That's amazing. It's one of many reasons that really motivated me to begin my journey. Have you seen any of Dr. Christopher Palmer's speeches? I was so impressed with his presentations on the blood brain barrier improvements and its connection to the carnivore diet that I decided to order it and I just received his book. Nerdy me can't wait to dig into it. :))
