Lift, Train, Fitness

we have a couple, will look around after GP appointment, my youngest son will be driving me in after work because my shoulder needs as much rest as possible before the long drive, and the injection will work better with a longer initial rest.
 
As many here know I follow a KETO lifestyle, I know keto has a bad rep among many with a lot of misconceptions, I saw this posted by a doctor recently.

" All because it does not contain #carbs it does NOT make it ok to eat. There is a huge difference between a #keto diet and the keto #lifestyle. Cake is #cake I don't care if it's made of almond flour - it's still Crystal Meth to your brain. Whether it is a cigarette or vaping it's still nicotine that you're using for your brain to get high no matter what the tobacco companies tell you - a #drug is a drug period! Consuming cake is always for your brain not your #nutrition and it will always always make you #fat and #sick on the rebound. If you want to succeed at this keto thing stop trying to convince yourself that low carb look-alikes are okay - they are not.
Changing your diet is only a tiny fragment of changing who you are as a human being. Unless you change the #behavior don't expect the diet to be sustainable. 98% of diets fail INCLUDING THE KETO DIET. Only once you develop a level of disgust for the cake you used to desire so much have you made the lifestyle change that is like you to keep you from becoming fat and sick again. "
 
So sorry to hear about your mom passing. I hope you can take time to really nurture yourself and grieve. Big hugs.

This makes me disgusted. I know you know this, but just have to say that white flour and almond flour are not remotely the same, and zero carb natural sugar is so much better than normal sugar - if you can't help but eat a piece of cake, Keto cake has lots of eggs, nuts, and good things in it that sustain your energy, whereas normal cake is going to make you crash and burn. Let them eat Keto cake!!!

Actually, I agree with the Doctor, Ketofying food is not the way to go, it is not changing habits, Keto done badly is no healthier than other bad diets. Cake is still Cake, making it with keto ingredients does not make it healthy. Sugar is still sugar no mater its's source. Cake should not be a regular thing, it is a treat.
 
Not sleeping well tonight, well I guess it is morning now lol.

Start the drive down to mums funeral today, it is going to be another hard weekend.
 
I could see you were awake very early, Tru from another post. Take good care of yourself & don't overdo your share of the driving. Sending you some extra mental strength for the days ahead :grouphug:
 
I also agree that cake is a rare treat, but I make it keto when I do because sugar makes my immune system crash, and kept sugar is not as bad, but I do only have it once in a while. It works better for me to do that than to revert to actual sugar for birthday cakes and things for my kid.

I hope all goes well with the drive and that you are able to rest up before the funeral. Hugs!
 
I am back, first thing I see logging in it a ton of spam to deal with, nothing ever changes.
 
Hey, Trusylver I was just trying to read though your diary and came on the posts about your mother, I know that must be hard for you. I lost my own mother to cancer about 10 years ago. She was a very healthy 77 before being diagnosed, cancer does suck.

Sorry to hear about your mother, I know that is tough. In my experience it takes a while to accept and get used to, not sure you ever completely "overcome" it.

I appreciate your posts, you help me and a lot of other folks I am sure.
 
Sorry about all the spam. I hope they eventually make a program to detect links that are spam or just don't allow links on a post until a certain amount of time so it cuts down on spam.

I hope you are able to get a lot of rest and de-stressing after all that driving and everything. More hugs!!

The forum stops a lot automatically but the mass quantity that the forum is hit with means some always gets through.
 
Tomorrow I have my appointment to have the CT guided injection into the shoulder joint capsule, CT guided is more involved than the more common ultrasound guided injections.

Next week I have a campus tour of the University before classes start next month.
 
It sounds very tricky & a little bit scary!
