The body keeps score.

For me, success with food has always been the number on the scale going down.  I'm almost to my "goal weight" which is 153 and I have to say, I'm fighting a much bigger fight that simply what shows up on the scale.  

I'm working to be more hormonally sound, which has everything to do with the adrenals, free T3 and the like.  Feeling lower-than-normal energy has put my diet in question (to me, not to my doctors).  Very low carb turns the body into a seemingly starvation state (which is awesome for fat loss, but no so great for other bodily functions).  

So much has has changed since I've written here, but it feels good to be slapping something up, if anybody is even still around.

My meals have been in bursts and fits, so I am only logging the totals of the day.  You do not need to know how many times I woke up in the night for the glorious strawberries!

- 2.3 lbs of strawberries

- 11 eggs 

- A can of pumpkin

- 16 oz mushrooms

- Olive oil

- 1 oz cheddar cheese

- LC ketchup and mustard, cinnamon, home made pumpkin pie spice 

- French vanilla Atkins shake

Scale stayed the same.  154.8.  I was expecting a jump due to the large amount of strawberries.  

For me, adding in carbs is risky business, but I did find a cool way to make an easy pumpkin pie type thing in the microwave.  Necessity is the mother of invention?  Is that how it goes?
