We are still doing the gluten free diet. It is working great for JET, he has lost some weight and it shows. Me, I can't see any difference but I am sticking to it, amazingly. Not at all like me but something is telling me to keep going, so I am. Besides, it wouldn't be nice to eat a big old slice of fresh hot bread and butter in front of him, now would it?
Here is my gluten free brunch. JET's portion was a lot bigger and he had 6 pieces of bacon and he is still losing weight. Huh!

Yesterday I was helping JET in the workshop, he needed to put some of that squirty foam stuff in a can around something to stop air leaks and I, in my infinite wisdom, thought I could do it better than him. Well, I paid for my delusions of grandeur big time. I did not heed the warnings on the can to wear gloves and I got it all over my fingers. It's nasty horrible stuff and no solvent known to man seems to get it off. You have to pick it off, a teeny bit at a time. I am still picking today.
If you have been watching Game of Thrones you will have seen the people whose skin looks like it is turning to rock, that's what mine looked like yesterday, now it just looks like my skin is flaking off. Rest assured I will not be rushing to use that stuff again!
My grandson and daughter are on a no carb/no sugar diet eating all the meat they want...yes bacon included...and dropping weight like crazy. I am addicted to coffee creamer and artificial sweetners give me stomach cramps so I can't get on that bandwagon. But I am drinking more water so that's GOOD!
ReplyDeleteI hate when I think I can do it so Terry doesn't have to and it backfires!! If you have Avon Skin So Soft it may help get the remaining residue from your fingers. That stuff takes off every goop I have ever had, including the glue they use to put window darkening film on car windows.
Have a great weekend.

We haven't stopped all carbs, we sometimes have rice and an occasional potato, both of which are gluten free. Good news is there is no gluten in sugar.....yeah, nor the flavoured coffee creamer like International Delight so I still use those and I think I actually have shed a few pounds recently. It has taken almost a month though.
