A delicious salad composed mostly of spinach with very little meat protein does not keep one full. Even with 2 tbsp of goat cheese and a tbsp of bacon bitsā¦ i was hungry 30 minutes laterā¦

I always have a side of protein when I eat a salad. My salads are arugula and baby spinach with small pieces of olives and some smoked blue cheese crumbs. Usually 1 tablespoon of EVOO.
I like my protein on the side because I like the taste of meat and I like salad. Feels like Iām having a heartier meal.

I learned how fasting eventually helps reduce essential hypertension. The kidneys control BP and it is called insulin dependence. Fasting reduces insulin and the kidneys will eventually cooperate and lower essential hypertension. It is briefly mentioned around 31:30 in this video.

If you have an indoor-outdoor cat, be aware of āsignalsā during a rain storm.

Itās not good for my pillow and bedsheets either. I tend to drool when I sleep on my stomach. 
Carb-loving vegans probably bought those so they could burn them.
I believe @atomicspacebunny says she shovels snow in flip flops. #bunnyfeetFTW
Mark Twain would approve:
Anybody can have ideasāthe difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph.
Great books are weighed and measured by their style and matter, and not the trimmings and shadings of their grammar.
Substitute ādamnā every time youāre inclined to write āvery.ā Your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.

We had a cat that drooled really badly - we had to buy a waterproof mattress protector

Mostly. Still had to go to work but it really wasnāt a big deal for me. Sometimes itās more news for news sake than anything-unless you are in a situation where you donāt have safe warm shelter of course.

This week, I learned that if you fall off the wagon, itās pretty easy to get back on and get back into ketosis. So donāt beat yourself up if you slip up once in awhile. But if your slip ups become a trend & a habit, then yeah, that would be a bit of a problem that youād want to take care of.

I learnt that just because Iām at my goal/maintenance weight, doesnāt mean Iām fit.
I tried going for a run around the block with my 15 year old son and needless to say, he left me in his dust a few timesā¦I was puffed! Been doing a lot of strength training recently but definitely need to try to improve my endurance.
On the upside, I did notice I recovered a lot quicker from exhaustion compared to before when I was 20kgs heavier.

Aha! This thread was at the top of the list - Iāve been chomping at the bit!
I re-learned two things today.
One - some people skim emails, even though they have asked for important information. Then, they email you over and over asking for the same information, which you provide with every request. I got to the point I was forwarding my previous emails which supplied the information, in a succinct manner - nope, the lightbulb didnāt go on. I think I am in real trouble with this person, as far as future dealings go.
Two - my cat is a princess (duh!). Since she has become an indoor-outdoor cat, she loves to sleep all day on the bed - but only if it is neatly made. I was lazy this morning, and broke down and made the bed tonight (for us or the cat?). She sat and watched me, and when everything was to her satisfaction, she jumped on.

One point per email for these people. It may not solve the problem, but itās a good way to start.
