We Love Earth – Blue Footed Boobies Bird
We are trying to change out two ballast transformers on fluorescent light fixtures in the garage. We had quite a fight with the first one, but FINALLY got it finished. We decided to ‘declare victory’ and rest for a bit before tackling the other. These have last 31 years, so you could say we have gotten our money’s worth. Still, it’s really stressful with my husband on the ladder, hands above his head, trying to get the job done with his inept go-fer trying to help as best she can…
I am on DAY 8 on getting-serious-about-keto. I lost 2 pounds yesterday! Last night my son and I talked about how I could add more fat into my diet, since my macro showed I should be eating 5% carbs, 25% protein, and 75% fat. I had been eating way too much protein and not enough fat. I can add whipping cream to a cup of coffee. I can eat some macadamia nuts. I can – and did – add a tablespoon of olive oil to my salad last night. I’m already eating eggs and cheese, but will try to find a ripe avocado. The last time I tried one, I didn’t care for it, but now is now and I’ll try again. I will ‘test’ each addition on my CarbManger.com tracker, so I can be confident all is good on the macro and the total number of calories. I’m encouraged that the weight scale is finally starting to smirk at me, rather than showing a sad face.
DAY 23 on daily yoga today. I’m happy that I can FEEL a difference in my body giving into the stretches as I breathe. The biggest problem is real stiffness when I’m in a sitting position and trying to stretch in any direction, but I’m making gradual progress. I’m also happy that I didn’t have any muscles yelling this morning about yesterday’s combo of the elliptical trainer and my yoga. I do that again tomorrow.

I finished painting the last stained tee in my art room yesterday.
Here’s hoping we can get the second ballast transformer installed and still be in one piece and speaking to each other.
I wish YOU a calm, satisfying day.

Congratulations with your diet, Linda 😀
I don’t know, how you have tried to eat avocado, but I use them in different ways. A half avocado a day both give the healthy fat, magnesium and potassium, as we need daily.
I cut in pieces, drip them with fresh lemon and mix in the salad. The lemon gives good taste, is healthy and keep the color of the avocado fresh until serving. Slices with lemon at a slice of bread is also delicious. Avocado cream to use as dip or at bread or meat is also delicious.
Nice paint at your shirt 🙂

Thanks very much for your encouragement, Irene. I appreciate, also, the suggestions on the avocado. I like guacamole, so surely I can eat straight avocado. I’ll try the lemon. I’m glad you like the shirt. :0)
