2007 Read The Book Challenge

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I finished the book and homework last night, but am too out of it today to do much.

The new drug the doc put me on yesterday is kicking my butt. I was on it a few years ago, and had to come off of it because I could not function. It stopped the tremors and spasms, but I'm walking like a drunk! My brain is only hitting on about two cylinders out of eight.

I am much better today, and am pretty sure I won't have to go to the hospital for that blood patch.

I might use a couple of the recipes to make food for a diabetic friend of mine. Otherwise, they are not to my tastes. I love Linda's site, and I have created a bunch of recipes myself.

Sunny!

gotcha on the homework update, sunny.
i'm so glad that you are better but it still sounds like you are in a very bad way.
and in the midst of it you're cooking some good food for your diabetic buddy.

Been too busy to check in much lately--between kids, work and trying to do something about Christmas, it's been wild.

Will catch up on discussion later, but wanted to say I've finished Chapter 4 and the homework.

The food intolerance really hits home with me--especially the part that you crave what hurts you most.

this week has been a whirlwind for a bunch of us! i think it's only going to get more hectic. the thread will always be here to look through.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Done.

I think I'm going to give the recipe section another look. I don't think I've ever made any of them. Would anyone like to recommend their favorite low carb cookbooks and recipe sites?

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Thanks for the tip on Blaine's site, Jimmie. I have it bookmarked for the next time I'm looking for something new.

I'm so sorry to hear of your latest health problems, Sunny. My prayers are with you, too. I so respect how hard you're trying in spite of all of the bad stuff happening. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

i guess i shouldn't fail to mention that you can get to some recipes via the RECIPE link on our adbb purple tool up top under the ads.


also our own board has lots of recipes and you'll be able to get holiday recipes and menu plans with a new feature of ADBB. be sure to check the stickies in the recipe forum! it's a coming soon type feature but y'all can keep your eyes peeled for that.

I finished part 4 and the homework a couple of days ago.

i've got you added! i'll be posting a new updated chart in just a little bit.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

Thanks for the heads up on the recipes! I'm a pretty boring cook most of the time, but I've been trying to experiment with one new recipe every week or so to keep myself from getting in such a rut.

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I finished my homework last night. Thank you Jimmie for this challenge. It reaffirmed what I've been doing. I'm hoping that I can keep a tighter grasp on focusing and doing Atkins correctly. Thanks again!

Re: 2007 Read The Book Challenge

I enjoy Dana Carpenter's low carb cookbooks. I got them used on Amazon.com. Have been trying recipes that members have shared & of course Linda's site.

I am so grateful for the knowledge I gathered due to this challenge. I'm also so glad that I highlighted numerous sections. Last night during a time of stress I grabbed my book & just randomly flipped to sections & read. Helped with my stress! We were on the road trying to get a head start due to the snow/sleet storm. In the past I would have just stuffed my face!!
