Actually, EA - my last 3 days off have been lazy like that - usually a sign that I need to take a break and let my body rest from working out. I'll be taking a week off from lifting and head back into the gym on leg day (either Wed or Thurs - can't remember off the top of my head ) . When I get to the point where I'm tired all the time - need to rest
Hugs to ya all !! Have a great Father

Hiya Elakti !!
I was amazed, too - when I plugged the foods I was eating into nutridiary, to discover that I was consuming about 45% of my calories from fat !! My new plan drops that down to 25%, which I am comfortable with Those seeds and nuts, and almond butter all add up !!

Hiya everyone !
Found out that the paste tomatoes are just frozen roma tomatoes - also got the story behind the tomato plant - it is a cherry yellow tomato that is supposed to be incredibly sweet - the tomatoes are very fragile and pop easily when they are ready to eat - the farm got really frustrated with trying to send these super yummy tomatoes to customers because they were so fragile - bu

Hiya everyone - just wanted to check in and report that I'm still 100% raw . I'm glad for this challenge as that is what got me to stop snacking on all those chips and crackers we have sitting out as samples in the store I'm working in and go completely raw ! We're half way there !! Cool !!!! I've lost track of time so wasn't sure where we were with the challenge

Just planted my tomato plant I got one of those topsy turvy tomato planters - it's a large tube with a hole in the bottom - the tomato plant comes out of the bottom - then you fill the tube with dirt, and water it from the top - then hang it up - I have it hanging out on my balcony in the sunshine - sure hope this works - the past 2 years we've had a real hard time with either fungus or blight
