down the scale
Posted on Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 10:53 by Michelle
I bought a bike off eBay, it's going to cost me a bit of initial outlay, hat, gloves, shed to keep it in, and soft saddle, but hoping to enjoy some lovely bike rides during the summer.
My weight continues on a steady downward slope, I'm feeling much more energetic and have loads of stamina. On the downside I've developed spots :( and twitchy legs.
If you have a couple of hours go and listen to Gary Taubes lecture on Good Calories, Bad Calories - gives an alternative view on why fat people and insulin, it's a very intersting lecture.

Coconut Oil
Posted on Wed, Jun 03, 2009 at 11:45 by Michelle
Low carb eating is going very well. I've become a coconut oil addict, and it really does seem to be just melting the fat off. It's very expensive though. I can get it from the Asian Supermarket for £1.80 for 500g, but it spits like crazy in the frying pan, it's fine to make up some little treats with though.
Coconut oil chocolates
- 5 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1 Tbsp Cocoa
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- handful dessicated (grated, unsweetened) coconut
- Stevia to sweeten
- Mix all together, split into small cake liners and put in fridge until hard.
Katie is really enjoying eating these, although when Charlotte tried them she was gagging, "ugh, they just taste like fat". Charlotte hates the feeling she gets from fatty food when it coats her mouth and lips, she was funny to watch though.
I'm trying not to get too hung up on the weight, as I'm a strong
supporter of size acceptance and Health
at Every Size, but I feel so great, full of energy and vitality
eating very few carbs and the side effect is that I'm losing weight so
it's all good.
This afternoon is my cycling group. the weather is lovely, so I shall lather up with sun screen put on my 3/4 length gym tousers and enjoy the breeze in my hair, and hope this time I don't have to push the bike up more than one very steep hill.
