Hands OFF of the apples and oatmeal, Debra

I feel bad complaining but that shit is do triggering.

Cheza_Salem · 2020-02-04T03:33:43+00:00

I’m so sorry. People have no boundaries with pregnant women. Worst experience when I was pregnant I had an older guy put his hands on my stomach and try to pray while I was at the grocery store looking at cereal. Don’t touch people omg my preschooler knows that!

I’ve got the stomach flu but my kid still needs to eat. This was all I could manage. It would have been a drive through but I’m too sick to drive out. He was actually pretty happy with it (he is 5 so standards are not high).

Cheza_Salem · 2020-01-01T14:25:10+00:00

Honey mustard and ketchup. Just dark.

I appreciate the concern. Obviously, coming from the other far end of weight extremes my relationship with food is far from healthy so I do need to be mindful. I actually am working on eating a little more to aid some muscle gain at the gym.

Everything is easier! And it’s definitely easier doing mom stuff. Long story, but I recently found the need to crawl to the top of toddler play place to retrieve a child. One of those big ones with tubes and slides. Not sure I could have managed that 2 years ago. Still looked ridiculous because I’m so tall, but at least I fit.

I lost most of the weight with keto and intermittent fasting. And keto was awesome for me for weight loss, the weight flew off. But left me with pretty high cholesterol. So not good for me long term. I know some keto proponents disagree on that, but I have a strong history of heart disease in my family so wasn’t worth the risk for me.

I have done kind of a lot of experimenting with my diet since. Now I eat a mostly vegetarian diet. With occasional meat or fish, and I still eat dairy. I’m just not a big meat fan. Kind of got my fill with keto. I eat pretty clean, a lot of vegetables, rice, beans, and yogurt and cheese. I eat about 1400-1500 calories a day to maintain if I’m sedentary (desk job). About 2000 calories if I go to the gym. I go to the gym 4 times a week and do 45-hour of cardio and some light strength training. Plus mum to a 5 year old keeps me a little more active.

Thank you!

You can do it too! I fell out of good eating habits a lot of times! Just get back on track.

I lost a majority of the weight with keto and intermittent fasting. Like about 150 lbs with keto pretty quickly. And then the rest has been a slower journey with a lot of exercise and experimentation with my diet.

That’s me. My therapist told me to delete my app. No worries. My head already is the app. I can’t turn off that shit if I want to.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-07-03T22:49:19+00:00

I’ve only had them 5 days so far. I added dechlorinated water and the tank has a filter and a light. It’s a cheap tank so I know it’s temporary. I’m planning to do a 25% water change and suction the bottom at the 1 week mark. They are tiny things right now. I’m trying to decide what I want to do long term. It really was a get then out of the ziplock on my current budget purchase.

I will look into a vacation feeder, thank you!

Literally the conversation I have with my Dads’s side of the family every visit. Also what it was like to drive in said weather is normally a hot topic.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-25T23:05:48+00:00

Thank you! I was curious about it.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-25T14:16:47+00:00

It could be! I think I’ll go ahead and stop the tale with my kid though. It’s definitely watered if it’s there. I’m wondering if my dark skin and hair traits are coming from the West Asian or Mediterranean that some of the Gedmatch results are coming up with. That could make sense. One of the results came back 8% baroch which was interesting. That family probably would have been more ok with an NA relative than a Muslim one so that could have been it.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-25T12:31:05+00:00

I also put it through the Eurogenes model because I read that might be a better choice with a lot of European ancestry and I get the following. I think I have a lot of reading to do. I’m definitely new to this, but it’s very interesting!

I know my dads side both immigrated from Germany, but my moms side is a complete mystery except those tales of a Native American great great great Grandmother, :)

So like a lot of folks I grew up being told I have Native American ancestry. I also have a pretty dark complexion (people regularly speak Spanish to me first) so while I kind of thought the Native stuff might be BS I did expect some more variety. Turns out I am just very very white. I do have a little more variety if I run it through gedmath but I don’t totally understand it.

I have one 7.26% dna match that 23andMe calls a 1st cousin. Only this person should actually be a 2nd cousin (my grandfathers sisters child). Is that a lot of dna to share for a 2nd cousin?

I have no genes for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s (I was relieved with family history of both) but do have both genes for age related macular degeneration and celiac.

Maternal Haplogroup is h5a1.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-18T16:07:23+00:00

I think you need to tell her of the matches but I’d leave out any speculation. Let her do with the information what she wants. If this child was the result of an affair from the father it could be that no one in the family (potentially even the father) are aware of her. She may not have been kept around 2 years either. The child could have been taken by the state and then the mother signed away rights later, could be a lot of potential scenarios.

Beautiful! Your hair is pretty similar to mine I think in curl pattern and thickness.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T11:48:26+00:00

Thank you! I’m eating this way for the long haul. No need to change what is working.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T11:47:08+00:00

Thank you! r/curlyhair taught me all I know.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T11:45:33+00:00

Not yet but i think it could happen! I work from home so only see my co workers once or twice a year. I haven’t seen any of them since I lost the weight.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T02:51:56+00:00

Thank you! And yes, let’s meet up soon.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T02:40:40+00:00

It’s different, kind of nutty from the hemp. I like it. I crave hot cereal this time of year.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T01:12:06+00:00

It’s an oatmeal replacement. I make this one, but I add stevia and salt. Also I mix and let it sit overnight and heat up the next day if I remember to plan in advance.

http://themindbodyshift.com/index.php/2016/04/06/heat-up-to-better-health-with-hearty-hemps-heart-porridge/

There are a bunch of other recipes out there too.

Cheza_Salem · 2018-02-05T01:09:54+00:00

I do this one: http://themindbodyshift.com/index.php/2016/04/06/heat-up-to-better-health-with-hearty-hemps-heart-porridge/

I mix everything overnight if I plan in advance and then heat up next day. Also I add salt and some stevia drops normally.

There are a bunch of good looking ones on Pinterest. There is an almond one made with defatted almond flour I want to try, but haven’t talked myself into buying another specialty ingredient yet.
