Mount Linden

We have such a mountain in front of our house (from the plow and snow blower) that it has attracted animals and mountain climbers! I spend so much time sending out search and rescue that it's cutting into my sauna time! Mount Linden is going to get snowed on tonight and then rained on.....

Had to do something about the mound out front.  Thought people might enjoy it.  Too bad it was put up late and will be under snow (probably.... but I'm hoping not) tomorrow morning.

Onward

I'm inspired and in the groove again.  Yesterday we watched a movie - 'Are you Fed Up?'  Basically about how there is so much sugar in foods, and how the sugar industry continues to push it.  It talked with 3 teens - 12 yrs old girl, weighing 215 lbs, 14 yrs old boy, weighing 400 lbs, and a 15 yrs old boy weighing over 200 lbs.
As I watched I wanted to yell at them / their parents.  They were struggling so much and yet still the parents, the doctors, etc were making them eat low/fat free foods etc.  No one talked to them about the need for good fats that help the body.  They continued to buy 'franknfoods' and they - the kids - were constantly hungry and starving.  (their words)  They couldn't understand it.  All three were exercising like there was no tomorrow and still couldn't lose weight.  The health guys (the good guys) were explaining 160 cals of almonds is NOT the same as 160 cals of pop. The industry was saying it was the same.  Good guys explained how the body could use the almonds cals but the pop cals just caused the body to pump out insulin which went into fat.  The idea of cals in / cals out is again not the same.
In the end the 400 lbs boy went for barbaric surgery even though 30% of surgery patients gain all the weight back within 2 years.  The 12 yrs girl continued to cry, struggle, exercise and eat 'healthy' but no weight loss, and the 15 yrs boy - the family went on the sugar detox for 1 week then 6 months at which time the father lose 37 lbs, mother 60 lbs, and the boy 27 lbs.....and later gained it all back.  How heartbreaking.

Today I felt better with foods.  My stomach is a bit off, but my choices are much better.  
B - chia muffin, nc pb and jam, 2 hard boiled egg whites, bar, tea
L - 1/2 chicken breast, few broccoli/cauliflower/carrot, mayo
D - taco salad (lettuce, dressing, ground chicken, scoop of salsa/sour cream, bit cheese), jello and tea.
S - ?  haven't decided if I will have or what.

I wonder if the binge hunger last week was 'that time of the month' week. Because of surgery to remove that part of me, I never know if it is, but I continue to get the rest of the reactions of body.

Hopefully there will not be much snow or rain.  Especially on Wednesday - that's Poon day.
