Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"I fractured my spine 2 years ago and my doctor wanted a lot of weight off me in a hurry but I wasn’t able to exercise. I also fully understand your sugar addiction as I have that too.
She first put me on a pretty extreme diet to get the main weight off then had me get a book called The Fast Metabolism Diet to maintain and drop the last bit of weight. It’s more a lifestyle change than a diet but it has several good recipes in it and allows you to change out the ingredients with other options if you don’t care for what’s in the recipes. It puts your body through 3 phases each week. Each phase has slightly different foods.
Phase 1 is two days of mostly whole grain carbs and fruits. Phase 2 is two days of mostly meats and veggies or vegan. Phase 3 is three days of a mix of the first two phases. The meats are all nitrate free though.
The gal that wrote the book actually explains WHY you eat the foods in different stages.
I hate to cook but the meals are easy to make or can be put in a crock pot. You can also make large amounts and freeze servings.
She teaches you about eating healthy and portion sizes. And the more weight you need to lose the more you can eat. This diet is also recommended for people with colitis and diabetes. It actually helps your body completely reset the metabolism.
It’s a bit expensive to start just because she wants all foods to be as organic as possible but once you have the initial grocery list done I have found it to be no more expensive than what my food bill used to be. My local Walmart carries 97% of everything I have needed.
She asks that you do her diet EXACTLY for 4 weeks. After that if you want to have the cakes or goodies you can. Just stick with her diet plan most of the time and feel free to splurge at parties or special occasions.
She also has The Fast Metabolism Cookbook which is set up in the proper stages and full of recipes.
Haley Pomroy is the author. You can get the book on nook although some of the charts are hard to read on the nook. She also has a website where you can ask questions if you need to.
I bought the actual hardcover books from eBay and then also have both books on my nook.
I’ve lost over 100 pounds and I can tell you without a doubt that when I stick to her diet I feel much better than when I don’t. When I just splurge I’m fine but if I splurge for a few days then I start feeling laggy and depressed. I have also noticed that the migraines I have suffered from since I was 2 have not come back since the second week I was on the diet.
Whatever way you choose to go. I wish you good luck!Looking for:

They are horrible things. I’ve suffered with them since I was 2. I’ve had shots of morphine to treat them and even that never did any good for mine. For me the only thing that has helped any at all has been acupuncture.
I truly hope you don’t have them often. Feel better soon!Looking for:

"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Welcome! You don’t have to own Windstones to be here! I think several of us started out just dreaming of having them. lol
Once you do get one though you will end up with more. They are like potato chips… You can’t have just one!
One of the great things about Windstones is that they come in so many sizes and shapes. So you can just collect tiny ones or you can end up with several different ones. Either way, they will find a way to fit in with your other collections. lolThe PYO’s are beautiful and while a lot of people here do paint some very colorful ones, there are some that are painted in more realistic tones as well.
Just take a deep breath and dive right in. Each piece is a beautiful rendition of someones imagination and that is what make each and every one so beautiful. No matter the talent or skill involved, what matters is that you have fun.So once again welcome to the forums… Everyone here that I have dealt with has been wonderful and supportive.
You might try checking out the classified section as well… There are some beautiful pieces there that might just get your addiction… ermmmm… I mean your collection started!
Have fun!Looking for:

"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"It’s so hard to let them go. Even when they are hurting it is so easy to just want to keep trying. It shows a lot of strength to be able to let them go when they need to. It’s the last act of respect and kindness you can show them.
I am truly sorry for your family’s loss.
I wish you all peace and the ability to be able to remember all the happiness and joy that Poopie brought to your lives.Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Thank you mashubert. Pagan actually has the same markings as Sorcha but his are to dark for me to get photos of. They show up best in full sunlight.
I hadn’t seen any cats like yours before although I had heard of them. I love their colors and their coats are so soft looking!
When I was a vet tech the grey and black cat I think you were asking Kim about is what we would have called a tortoise shell. It is not an actual breed but a color variation of the tabby colored cats.
Everyone’s cats are so pretty! Thank you all for sharing!

"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Here are the two newest additions to my family. They are 3.5 month old bother and sister Manx kittens. Sorcha is the tabby female and Pagan is the black male.
And while Sen-Sei is no longer with me. After 16 years of devoted companionship I think he deserves a place here too…

"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"Adorable kittens and great photos! Thank you for sharing!
Looking for:
"COSMIC SHIFT DRAGONS and KI-RINS" and the "OCTOPUS TANUKI TEST PAINT #1"I was a vet tech for years. We always suggested feeding the mom some kitten chow for a few weeks before she had the kittens and while she was nursing.
As for the umbilical cords just leave them alone, they will dry up and either be removed by mom or fall off on their own. They help to protect the kittens from bacteria entering their bodies.Looking for:
