Thank you for reading. My grandmother is in the hospital. She was taken in yesterday evening because she was having major breathing problems. They did a few tests and they think she May have a blood clot in her lungs! They are not sure. She had to stay over night and they are running a test today about 10:30 am to see if she has a blood clot and then we will go from there. Please please please pray. I am so so worried. Thank you so so much for your prayers!

I feel your pain, Becky! My appetite has come back. I still can't eat what I ate before, but for dinner I did eat a few eggs (probably 2) with some gravy (made with wheat flour - don't really recommend that - it was okay, but...) and a slice of bacon and two bites of biscuits. Afterwards (about 2 hours later) I had a large peach, then a little while later I had some (a handful) organic blue tortilla chips with flax seeds. Then a little while later I had another handful of the chips with a little salsa. I also made some sf oatmeal cookies today and ate 3 of them throughout the day. So...I'm done now as it's after 10 and I'm going to bed in a little while. In my brain I'm thinking "Well, da*n, you've not eaten more than probably 7-800 calories a day for the last 3 weeks, you can afford a few more calories now and since you've got your appetite back you don't know if you're going to lose it again tomorrow so you've got to 'stock up'". Whatev... So, now that I have some appetite, I'm going to plan healthy tomorrow and I might actually get to eat it! Michelle

I don't know what it is, but I have been starving all day long... I *hope* it's PMS.. I know, kind of a weird wish, eh? But, after not having a regular cycle in 5 months and it causing some related side-effects, I would KILL for a nice normal period... My OB/GYN put me on BC pills to see if that would jump-start my cycle and I'm starting the 3rd week, meaning, with all good luck, I should be starting my period next week... In the meantime, I can't quit eating... Did ya see my "What are you eating post?" Yeah, well, since then, just a little while ago, not only did I have the pie, but I've had some pb crackers as well....grrrrrr... It doesn't seem like head-hunger, either...This afternoon, just a couple hours after lunch, my stomach was literally rumbling... So here's to a well-deserved and much needed case of PMS!

That was crappy... Does she understand how SICK it could make you? I'd have to kick some serious @$$ if someone did that to me... Incidentally, I made a (true) SF Apple Pie for Aaron's birthday cuz he doesn't like cake either, and that way I was sure to enjoy a little piece, myself... Pre B - nectar protein shake B - low-carb yogurt, 1 peach MS - protein bar L - 3 oz of leftover shake and bake chicken on a bed of lettuce and a bowl of chili AS - 2 oz of roasted peanuts (for some reason, I was starving all afternoon) AS - Venti Iced SF Hazlenut NF Latte (had class tonight) D - 3 oz of tuna on a bed of lettuce NS - may have a little sliver of that pie

superhero who would you be, what would be your strengths/powers and why?
