I made it the first day. Half way through day 2. The no sugar/M&Ms is the hardest. I've had a headache all day. Best part is the kids love the meals I made yesterday, especially the green curry last night. I'm doing one of the recipes in the book tonight. It's a steak rub. Not too keen on the coffee grounds in it (prefer tea), but it has unsweetened cocoa so I'm in!

Linky I bought the book, so I could have it in one place. Deadline time and can't afford to be looking on line to figure things out, but a lot of people just use the website. You can't step on the scale for the 30 days. I like that part of it a lot

Anybody doing the Whole 30 program by Dallas and Melissa Hartwig? John Frieh told me to check out the book It Starts With Food by them. I preordered and arrived yesterday and today is my first day on the program. It's strict with no grains (though they tweeted me this morning that a communion wafer was okay!), sugar, alcohol, but I ate similar when I was nursing my youngest who had severe food intolerances. I ended up weighing less than I had in college and feeling great. I fell off the wagon when she stopped nursing at age 2 1/2. It was really easy for me to eat this way when she paid the price for my lapses so I know this is going to be tough when it's just me. Was wondering if anyone had any tips, etc? There's a website and forum, but I'm on deadline and don't have time to wade through a lot of stuff right now. Thanks!

This was just on Twitter: @Oregonian Clackamas Co. Sheriff confirms the climber who fell on Mount Hood has died. Looks like they changed the tweet to add the article link: @Oregonian Man dies climbing Hogsback area on south side of Mount Hood: http://ORne.ws/LX85fW

Oh, wow. Wish I lived closer so I could go! This would be so perfect to hear right now.

Meow, the fat cat, dies from heart failure. Link to article.

Meow the fat cat meets Hugh Grant They've taken the 39 pound Meow on a press junket in NY.

Enjoying your updates. Be careful. :kisss:

Fat Cat from New Mexico needs to lose 10 pounds before he can be put up for adoption. He's weighing in at 40 pounds right now!

BTW, I'm a former Girl Scout leader

Wonderful. Really enjoyed it! Great to see Jim as well as Beacon I had no idea they'd filmed this until I got a message from Jim earlier this week telling me about it. I so wanted to get to PDX last night watch it, but had kids to pick up.

Love the pics! Thanks for sharing them

So sorry, Hampton. Hugs. I visited Jared's website. Really enjoyed looking at his photographs. My condolences to you, his wife, kids, family and friends.

Congrats! Of course this would have been so much better if it had happened a year ago when I was writing about a character who was a paramedic Good luck with the new job!

Haha! Love this

Very cool!

Oh, Sobo! Just saw this. So, so sorry, my friend. Having gone through this twice in the past few months, I know there really are no words. My heart hurts for you. Phydeaux was an awesome cat. A lucky one to have you love him and take such good care of him. Hugs and more hugs. :kisss:

Happy Birthday, Sobo! :kisss: Sounds like you've had a great day! Have sweet dreams tonight

Congrats! Best wishes for a lifetime full of love and laughter

Aw, thanks so much for the birthday shout-out, Sobo. :kisss: It's been a very sad week, but this puts a big smile on my face. Really, really appreciate it Thanks Bill, Feck and Off-White! You guys are great. :kisss: cc.com holds a special place in my heart. Without it, my Mount Hood series wouldn't exist!

Maybe it's time to kiss and make up at a PDX-Beacon Pub Club.

Thanks for the link. I had to share that on my FB page

Thanks, Off! :kisss:
