Good Morning CC'ers!
It's a beautiful day in the Great Northwest. I went to check on the blackberries yesterday and they're not ready to pick yet. It just hasn't been hot enough here for them to ripen. Hopefully August will be warmer.
Today is laundry day for me. (I know Chick)
Wishing everyone a great Low Carb Saturday!
Love ya, Sherri

Good Afternoon Sherri and all that follow,

Funny old day here in London, still very humid but also changeable . Its really hard to settle down to things when your skin is totally damp. We Brits don't tend to use airconditioning, which can make the summer months a bit uncomfortable.

Starting to climb the rungs here now so that I get out of the 'diet' mentality and more into the WOL way of seeing things.

Hope everyone is doing well - Sherri, I will be doing my washing tomorrow (horror of horrors! on a Sunday!), the weather forecast for tomorrow is dry and sunny - perfect for drying washing. Yes, no tumble dryer either - but that is because I am a bit of a tree hugger.

Good afternoon everyone!

Day 14 of induction for me and I think...not 100% sure because of my psycho scale...but I may have lost 10lbs! I am going to go get weighed on my doctor's scale next week to make sure.

This Atkins Diet is the best! I no longer crave sweets and I'm not really missing the junk food either. I hope that this keeps up. I will keep you posted. Bye!

Hello to All,
Have any of you had any problems with angina? I have been having a few funny chest pains. Kind of a hollow feeling. Also feeling tired and weak.

Hi Kids

SueSue.....I'm not sure what angina is, but I do have heart issues....sometimes it beats rapidly, other times I don't feel it at all! I was told many years ago that I had a leaky valve. Is that the same thing?

Sherri....you'll know the blackberries are ripe...that'll be when the birds swarm them They always know!

Keetje...no air conditioner???? Yikes!

Hi CC'ers! It's me!! Yes, I know I've been missing in action for awhile. Sorry to have abandoned you guys. This whole broken ankle really got me down. I honestly think I had post-traumatic stress disorder or some type of depression from it. Things are still healing, getting better day by day. It's been almost 11 weeks since the break, 9 since the surgery. I'm finally able to stand and walk on it, using my walker of course. Mobility has definitely improved my spirits.

Anyway, I wanted to report a small victory. I was finally able to step on the scale after 11 long weeks today! To my surprise I have lost almost 10 pounds since my injury. I realize some of that is muscle loss from my leg but I'm still happy because I was worried I had gained due to lack of exercise of any kind. So I am now officially in TWOVILLE! Just had to share it with you guys. Hope everyone is doing well. I miss you guys.

Liz!!

That is the most amazing news, I am SO glad.

Maybe you did have some sort of post-traumatic effect after breaking your ankle like that, it is surprising how these things affect us.

Keep practising your walking and in no time you will be back in the gym.
