I love how real you are. I get tired of perfect homes, hauls where people spend HUGE amounts of $$, etc. Thank you so much for sharing real life! Yes we can benefit by your experiences and positive attitude. 🙂
After struggling to loose weight and manage my chronic pain my entire life I actually came to the hard realization that I simply do not process carbohydrates very well. I went low carb, then keto. That helped me lose 25 pounds but I was still dealing with pain. I then went grain free and sugar free and wow my life was open to a new world of healing. I lowered my carbs even more and raised my protein and fat up and I was able to lose an additional 25 pounds. At 48 I’m finally the smallest I have ever been. Lowered my A1C from a 5.7 to a 4.8 and off 6 meds. I will forever be eating high protein, grain free and very low carb. Food is medicine.
I soooo need to do low carb. I feel “stuck” and I’m having a hard time getting motivated. Any additional info is greatly appreciated such as typical meals in a day, carb goal, etc. I get burned out on eggs really fast 💨
@@Kidges keep it simple. Just make protein the focus of your meal and then have some low carb vegetables or fruits as a side, a very small side. Focusing on foods with only one ingredient. Like a large burger patty for lunch and a few pickles on the side. For dinner salmon or steak and a few berries on the side. I personally love making protein bowls for breakfast. Scrambled eggs with sausage and bacon bits topped with salsa and avocado slices. The key is to keep carbs low, very low. For me it was less than 10 grams a day. Fill up on protein and fat and you will not be missing the carbs.
Sorting the rice means you are looking for any small pebbles or other things that might end up in the rice. My husband’s family import basmati rice. You can also soak the rice after you clean and sort it. I like the rice when it’s been soaked for a few hours. You soak and then throw out that water.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with you sharing your HRT experience with others. It helps those who may have the same. I love my HRT patch because it has helped my symptoms tremendously! Keep telling because we need this kind of education for ALL women. I share my knowledge with anyone who wants to know.
Bobbie i love you! Don't ever worry about people juding you. I was once 185 pounds in my early 20's. I think you are so beautiful, inside and out. I wish I looked like you without my makeup. You're gorgious both ways. Thankyou so much. You are naturally pretty.
Best wishes Bobbie. My uncle made a joke at his birthday party: "When I was 20, I worried about what everyone thought of me, when I was 40 I didn't care what they thought and now I'm 60 I realise nobody was thinking anything about me at all" 😂.
You are an extremely brave woman and I appreciate your candor. Thank you for your honesty. You, and your personality are a few reasons why we are ardent followers. You are loved.
Hi Bobbie. When the directions say to sort the rice it’s just referring to separating it into a bowl to remove the debris and foreign materials. The act of rinsing might be a hack you’ve developed but it is an important routine to keep up with. Rice naturally has a heavy metal content (brown rice especially) from arsenic which is naturally present in the bedrock and is absorbed by rice through the soil or irrigation water. I hope this is helpful. 😊
I’ve always understood that “sort” direction as to pick out anything that isn’t rice- could be small stone or rice stalk, etc. I do that with barley and any other grain, as well.
Hey Bobbie, I find it really helps to put placemats (even from Dollar Tree) on refrigerator shelves. It helps with essy clean up, just take them out and wash them off. A lot easier than clening spills on glass.
I appreciate you sharing your health updates as I’m sure we can all relate and I find it helpful. I went through something similar a few years ago, I’m 62 now, and it was a little scary but turned out to be nothing, thank the lord. I do the same thing when I’m walking, I always think people are judging me for my weight. We are our own worst critics as I would never think that of someone else. Love that you and your videos are real! ❤
Have you heard of the trick to refrigerate cooked rice, pasta or potatoes? When rice is cooled, some of its digestible starches turn into resistant starches, which aren't broken down in the small intestine. This process lowers the GI of the rice
Not judging you, I'm a bit jealous of you! Your energy, your enthusiasm and the fact that you get out there and do it!! You are such an inspiration, I just adore you!!
The spotting is bc of the patch and pill. I did the same thing. It’s so normal w HRT. You can cut a little off of your patch (decrease the dose) to find the best dose for you. I do that now. I can also play w my progesterone dose by either taking 100mg or 200 mg per night. It takes a little while to find the right combo.
Oh ABSOLUTELY! You go Bobbi. I am so proud for you and your commitment to exercise and cycling all the miles and trails you go on. I recently-finally! (after about 5 years, have lost my perimenopause/menopause weight gain of about 40 pounds), but I am not exercising regularly. This is next on my list because I know it is so important for longevity. I am 57, so I have got to get going. You keep going! 💕🇨🇱💕
I use to have a refrigerator like this and the glass did come out. I popped it up from underneath, it took a spill for me to figure it out so hopefully yours will pop up
Hello. I do not sort rice. I think, in the olden days, I remember my Mom actually sorting rice and lentils which sometimes had small pebbles or dirt mixed in. I do not see that these days and I eat lots of lentils. Enjoy!
I’m fairly thin and I’m so out of shape, people may think I can do more than I can. I’ve seen many women that are in good shape that are not my size. You go girl ❤
I sometimes use my water pik around my kitchen sink to squirt out the gunk I cannot see. Works pretty well, and it doesn't hurt the pik because it is just squirting water, which is what it is supposed to do.
PLEASE talk about reproductive organs. I am so sick of "women's cancer" meaning only breast cancer. First, it's not only women who get it¹. Second, women born female are the only ones who get vaginal, cervical, uterine/endometrial, fallopian, or ovarian cancer, and NO ONE talks about it. I am so grateful that my mother and her mother both had endometrial cancer (and survived it), so I was aware of it, and knew that the bleeding was an issue. I made an appointment for the next day, got an ultrasound, and was in an oncologist's office two days later. I had caught endometrial cancer early. I had a full hysterectomy with bilateral salpingal oopherectomy, and that was it. I was "cured by surgery". That was two ½ years ago, and my final appointment is tomorrow. This is something women need to know! ¹ My husband had to have a lumpectomy. 5% of breast cancer cases are in males.
I always understood sorting to be a process of rinsing thoroughly to remove excess starch and making sure there's no random husk fragments, stones, or other debris in the rice.
🌺Yes, you can remove that long glass shelf and take out the glass. The center divider with your water filter will also lift out for cleaning & other shelves can adjust. I have a similar fridge and it’s not difficult but a bit detailed so you don’t break the glass. One good video on the process on RUclips channel: “Dad Does It All.” I found him by searching, “How to remove Samsung refrigerator shelf.” You can also find out how to adjust &/or remove your other shelves s as well. I think your stain may come out with The Pink Stuff or a Soft Scrub type of cleaner. I also found a great shelf liner from Amazon that is clear & makes it so easy to wipe off the shelving & you can cut it to fit perfectly. Hope this helps! Blessings from Virginia❤️
I had the same issue with hrt. After a few ultrasounds and biopsies, I decided it wasn't worth the worry and quit. My uterine lining had thickened, and that's when they worry about things going wrong. Almost 2 years later, I'm still taking a pill for 10 days a month that causes the lining to shed. What fun! 😏
When I was a kid (a very long time ago), my mother would sort through rice because it sometimes had tiny rocks in the rice. I don’t know if that’s what the directions refer to but it’s has been a huge pile of years since I’ve seen a rock in a bag of rice.
Thank you for sharing I was all ears and I loooove your calmness it's so important to keep calm and not freak out before we know exactly what's going on. Thank you again for sharing. As women we can learn from eachother for sure. I'm sure your fine. ❤️
I’m only halfway through this video and had to come on here. I too am post menopausal and changed my HRT a couple months ago. I removed my Mirena IUD because…post menopausal….which I’m 49 I presumed my uterus was dead right? Wrong!!! I started BLEEDING a month later. I was 😳😳😳😳. Called my Doc…went in….got another Mirena IUD and what do you know….week later bleeding stopped and I was back to normal. CRAZY!! Now, everyone is different and it could have indeed been something awry but thankfully it was just the change in hormones that threw me outta whack. So glad it got corrected. I’d had three IUD’s with no menses for 15yrs because of it so to bleed and bleed heavily I was so distraught and frustrated. PSA….just because you’re post menopausal does not mean your uterus is shriveled up and dead. 😂😂
Spotting when you’re getting your HRT levels correct is pretty normal. But great to get things checked out! LOVE that you are so honest about things women historically haven’t talked about…which is why most women don’t know anything about menopause! OMG….We have that same refrigerator and I didn’t know the drawer had a liner…going in there tomorrow! Ewww I’m scared! and yes I hate that stupid wire thing too…boo! Getting rid of that tomorrow too…THANKS!
Oh my gosh! We have the same fridge & I HATE cleaning it but you have motivated me to do it this weekend. It’s annoying how you can’t get it clean like older refrigerators. I don’t see the link to your grain free granola. Am I missing it? Thank You!
Thank you for sharing all the parts of your life! Your refrigerator looks great! I have been wanting to clean mine, but I have been putting it off. You have motivated me to just get it done!
sort = check for small stones (which are sometimes (rarely) mixed in with the rice). Risk crunching on a small pebble otherwise. Again, rare, but it happens.
We were just in Jim Thorpe this weekend for the fall train ride and I've done the bike ride, it's so pretty. Also, thanks for sharing- this is what helps women along! Also, what foundation are you wearing in the car talking about the dr visit? it looks so natural and pretty !
Noone is thinking about you we are all in our own head...and we all worry about what other people think. tell yourself yes! I'm doing this 25 mile bike ride. Great video!
Pull the fridge out into the room……that’s what I have to do too! C,earning the fridge is right up there with cleaning toilets…..I really need to do mine. In the fall of 2019, at 56 years, I had bleeding and a gush of fluid comparable to your water breaking when having a baby. My NP said it was likely due to switching/starting HRT. After some tests that was unfortunately not the case and I was diagnosed with stage 1A endometrial cancer. I had a total hysterectomy in January 2020. The oncologist told me that if a woman has to get cancer this is the one you want because caught in early stages it’s curable by surgery. The majority of the time the breakthrough bleeding is nothing to worry about but it shouldn’t be ignored and should always be checked by a doctor.”
I appreciate the real pieces of life that you share as it may help another woman. Nothing beats the satisfaction of a clean fridge/ freezer. Unremovable shelves would drive me 🤪. Friend of mine used a steam cleaner then sealed it up with some kind of plastic guard.
I just love you! I have the same problem with my frig. I have a single door, not french doors and the door hits the cabinet in my teeny tiny kitchen. I also don't understand why they make refrigerators that you can't clean. I am assuming you tried toothpicks-my new favorite tool :)
Your refrigerator looks great! Thank you for sharing about your health. I appreciate your transparency. I think it’s helpful for women to know other women are going through things too,so they don’t feel alone. Hope all goes well with your ultrasound. God bless.
Hi Bobbie! Love your channel ❤Your fridge looks great. About your glass shelves...can you push them up and out by pushing up on the glass from underneath?Mine looks similar to yours & I can remove the glass itself by pushing it up from underneath...and it kind of pops up out of the metal/plastic frame that is holding it in place. Just a thought 😊
I wish I could do the other sweeteners. They all give me bad stomach cramps and headaches. Weird that won’t come out. I had a similar fridge and I could remove that entire thing. Then it would break down from there.
Don’t worry about what people think……I had to take my husband for his drivers license renewal. He uses a walker (but I had to take him inside with a wheelchair). I’m sure people were thinking “he drives ? Don’t want to be on the road when he’s driving”.
There's no judging here! I have Irish Breakfast Tea, which is pretty dark after brewing 4-5 minutes, in a decent size mug, with 1 packet of Truvia and probably at least 6 tablespoons of half and half, and it's glorious!
I think "sort" during the rice rinsing process means to pick out stones or non rice items that may have gotten into the rice during the harvesting process.
I just love you. I am glad someone talks about what they experience with HRT.. I find it very helpful . I have been on Estradiol patch for a few years now and also a progesterone pill which I take at bedtime with Magnesium gluconate. when I started Estradiol patch they started me on the higher dosage and it was too much and I started spotting. told the doctor I didn't want to go back to having a period. It was too much estrogen. cut the dosage back and all is well. couldn't live without my HRT. as for the refig. I have cleaned houses for 46 years and have cleaned a lot of frigs. they are not fun. you did a good job.
Thank you for sharing your HRT journey. It does help to hear what others are doing. Interestingly, she increased my Estradiol last year because I was still getting hot flashes. It's been fine until she changed it this last time. Hopefully I will have answers soon.
Some Bazmati has husks in and you have to pick them out. Mostly however I use wholegrain rice, plus I got myself a lovely little Rice Cooker, it is so easy. 😊😊
I swear I have the exact same fridge as you! I hate that wire thingy in the middle drawer! So pointless! Thanks Bobby, which you all the best and good health. FYI, I’m having surgery tomorrow - lens replacement and I’m sooo nervous. I am also conservative about doctors and treatments, but I want bionic super sight! Pray for me 😂🙏🏻❤
I think if you move your frig all the way out and then turn it on an angle, you should be able to get your door open enough to pull out the drawer. Might need to unhook your water/ice dispenser. Also, I couldn't figure out how to remove some of our shelves, so I found a YouTuvbe video. Success! Good luck!
HELLO!! Praying for You and Your Health Journey! Tip… I have to say… I love cream but wow… that is a lot (lol)… You might want to try using some good organic (no fillers added) Heavy Whipping Cream instead of the Half & Half… It doesn’t spike your insulin and it’s so much more creamy that you need far less of it. GOD Bless You Bobbie!!!
The reason we want to eat less carbs is to stabilize our blood sugar which in turn lowering and stabilizing our insulin. Most of us eating a standard american diet are soaking in insulin. I HIGHLY recommend wearing a continuous glucose monitor to learn how foods impact your blood sugar. I recently got a Stelo subscription (new direct-to-consumer CGM) and it's been super helpful. For example... xylitol gum is a 20-30 point increase. One flour tortilla increased my blood sugar 60! More women should try Stelo--it's one of the best things I'm doing for my health.
oh wow, she is kind of going overboard on the spotting. It is totally normal to spot after HRT the first even 6 months. My gyno told me it is all normal side effect. And if the sonogram is fine then why would you go back for a biopsy if spotting? If your uterus lining is thin than you would not need a biopsy. My gyno did have a sonogram done, but only because I was kind of freaked out about it and requested it. It was fine, but yeah still had the spotting since my body was adjusting to the hormone. IDK, but it stinks you would have to get a biopsy if you spot after having the sonogram.
You're amazing only ❤️ lovely people are cheering you on. Real people don't judge. Please buy Madagascar vanilla or good vanilla use it in your coffee or premier protein shake in coffee for sweetness ❤
Hi, l clean my fridge and freezer out every month, just in case l spill something or my son does, he's a professional chef, he comes over and cooks meals for me, when he has time to do it, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Hi Bobbie, I`ve had an experience with my HRT. I had unexpected spotting last year went for an ultra sound all ok. This year I was trying out testosterone as well as Progesterone tablet & oestrogen gel. I had severe breast pain that anti inflammatory meds wouldn`t stop and also spotting again. I went to GP had to stop the HRT had the ultra sound and saw the consultant straight after. A polyp was found, I went a week later for the hysteroscopy and polyp removal and biopsy. She said all looked good, the removal went well and I am still waiting for the biopsy results. Have to wait for results before I decide on resuming HRT. No more spotting or breast pain. If all is good I may opt for the Progesterone and Oestrogen gel and give the testosterone a miss. I guess all us ladies are so different as to what helps us and doesn`t. As you say Bobbie.. we need to look after ourselves and don`t put these visits to the GP off. Take care x
Can you remove the bins on the inside of the doors so you can then remove the drawers? Love the lazy Susan idea for the fridge…totally stealing that idea lol😂
I love how real you are. I get tired of perfect homes, hauls where people spend HUGE amounts of $$, etc. Thank you so much for sharing real life! Yes we can benefit by your experiences and positive attitude. 🙂
You've come to the right channel - No perfect home here for sure!! Thanks you Sue!

Can you please tell me what this diet is called? I would like to try it, but I don’t know where to start. Thank you!!
I soooo need to do low carb. I feel “stuck” and I’m having a hard time getting motivated. Any additional info is greatly appreciated such as typical meals in a day, carb goal, etc. I get burned out on eggs really fast 💨

Google said that sorting the rice needs to take the debris out bits pieces, rocks
😊 that means so much to me - thank you Heidi!!
Sorting the rice means you are looking for any small pebbles or other things that might end up in the rice. My husband’s family import basmati rice. You can also soak the rice after you clean and sort it. I like the rice when it’s been soaked for a few hours. You soak and then throw out that water.

You are an extremely brave woman and I appreciate your candor. Thank you for your honesty. You, and your personality are a few reasons why we are ardent followers. You are loved.
Hi Bobbie. When the directions say to sort the rice it’s just referring to separating it into a bowl to remove the debris and foreign materials.

Hmm, I don't ever see anything that needs to be sorted, but I'll keep looking...just in case. Thanks Shari!
Yes, this. I don’t give it much time but agree.
@@MindfulMidlife I never find much of anything either. Seems most companies do a good job of getting rid of the “junk”🤗
Yes “sorting” means check it out for small stones etc. I have found small stones while sorting beans.
Hey Bobbie, I find it really helps to put placemats (even from Dollar Tree) on refrigerator shelves. It helps with essy clean up, just take them out and wash them off. A lot easier than clening spills on glass.
A sercet about rice is If you make it a day or two before and refrigerator it over night it cuts the carbs and sugars about 80%.
I love your authenticity Bobbie! Keep being you and doing what you do!! ❤
Thank you for your authenticity Bobbie! You are an amazing woman & we’re here for it! ❤
I think many women would like to hear you talk about real life experiences. Being an almost 65 woman I find you refreshing. ❤

I haven't commented in a long time but you are so relatable! I just love your vlogs Bobbie.
Best thing about my hysterectomy...no more Pap smears!! My issue was fibroids, daily periods for 5 MONTHS!!
Bobbi, our glass lifts out BUT it gets stuck so you have to wiggle it out. That is how I get those grooves clean. Wishing you all the best 😁
The only judgement I make about overweight folks exercising is ~ Right On! You go girl/guy 🙌
Loved your video. Keep sharing. We’re all in this together!
I use to have a refrigerator like this and the glass did come out. I popped it up from underneath, it took a spill for me to figure it out so hopefully yours will pop up

I spotted for a few months after going on the patch.
I’m fairly thin and I’m so out of shape, people may think I can do more than I can. I’ve seen many women that are in good shape that are not my size. You go girl ❤
Thanks for taking us along; and for sharing everything for those who might be going through similar events.

That is what I am hearing, but I don't really see anything. I'll keep looking though!
The bike train in Jim Thorpe is lovely. I’ve done it a couple of times, but only in the spring. I need to do a fall trip.

If you remove the door shelves, could you get that bib out?
Oh my gosh! We have the same fridge & I HATE cleaning it but you have motivated me to do it this weekend. It’s annoying how you can’t get it clean like older refrigerators. I don’t see the link to your grain free granola. Am I missing it? Thank You!
It's there...it's linked right at the end of this video.
Thank you for sharing all the parts of your life! Your refrigerator looks great! I have been wanting to clean mine, but I have been putting it off. You have motivated me to just get it done!
Happy to be a motivator for you! As you can see I put it off way too long as well!
sort = check for small stones (which are sometimes (rarely) mixed in with the rice). Risk crunching on a small pebble otherwise. Again, rare, but it happens.
We were just in Jim Thorpe this weekend for the fall train ride and I've done the bike ride, it's so pretty. Also, thanks for sharing- this is what helps women along! Also, what foundation are you wearing in the car talking about the dr visit? it looks so natural and pretty !
Yay, that ride is so fun and beautiful! Oh boy...I have no clue what I was wearing, sorry!
I appreciate the real life parts :) thank you
Noone is thinking about you we are all in our own head...and we all worry about what other people think. tell yourself yes! I'm doing this 25 mile bike ride. Great video!
Yup, I'm working on getting out of my own head! Thanks Carrie!
Pull the fridge out into the room……that’s what I have to do too! C,earning the fridge is right up there with cleaning toilets…..I really need to do mine.
In the fall of 2019, at 56 years, I had bleeding and a gush of fluid comparable to your water breaking when having a baby. My NP said it was likely due to switching/starting HRT. After some tests that was unfortunately not the case and I was diagnosed with stage 1A endometrial cancer. I had a total hysterectomy in January 2020. The oncologist told me that if a woman has to get cancer this is the one you want because caught in early stages it’s curable by surgery. The majority of the time the breakthrough bleeding is nothing to worry about but it shouldn’t be ignored and should always be checked by a doctor.”
can you remove the side trays inside the fridge? mine are removable by pushing up on them.
I appreciate the real pieces of life that you share as it may help another woman. Nothing beats the satisfaction of a clean fridge/ freezer. Unremovable shelves would drive me 🤪. Friend of mine used a steam cleaner then sealed it up with some kind of plastic guard.
I don't have a steam cleaner, but I may borrow a friends!!
Hey Bobbie! I would love your recipe for the granola!
Me too!
Fantastic video, great information, thank you for sharing…
God bless🇨🇦💜🇨🇦
I just love you! I have the same problem with my frig. I have a single door, not french doors and the door hits the cabinet in my teeny tiny kitchen. I also don't understand why they make refrigerators that you can't clean. I am assuming you tried toothpicks-my new favorite tool :)
Your refrigerator looks great! Thank you for sharing about your health. I appreciate your transparency. I think it’s helpful for women to know other women are going through things too,so they don’t feel alone. Hope all goes well with your ultrasound. God bless.
I agree, it helps to hear when someone has gone through or is going through what you are dealing with. I'll keep sharing!
Hi Bobbie! Love your channel ❤Your fridge looks great. About your glass shelves...can you push them up and out by pushing up on the glass from underneath?Mine looks similar to yours & I can remove the glass itself by pushing it up from underneath...and it kind of pops up out of the metal/plastic frame that is holding it in place. Just a thought 😊
Nope! I have tried and my hubby tried! UGH!
@MindfulMidlife Well that's a big bummer! But you still did a beautiful job!
I wish I could do the other sweeteners. They all give me bad stomach cramps and headaches. Weird that won’t come out. I had a similar fridge and I could remove that entire thing. Then it would break down from there.
Don’t worry about what people think……I had to take my husband for his drivers license renewal. He uses a walker (but I had to take him inside with a wheelchair). I’m sure people were thinking “he drives ? Don’t want to be on the road when he’s driving”.
Can you pull the fridge out?
sort rice like you would a bag of beans. There may be rocks mixed in with rice since it is grown and picked from ground.
There's no judging here! I have Irish Breakfast Tea, which is pretty dark after brewing 4-5 minutes, in a decent size mug, with 1 packet of Truvia and probably at least 6 tablespoons of half and half, and it's glorious!
I think "sort" during the rice rinsing process means to pick out stones or non rice items that may have gotten into the rice during the harvesting process.
That is what others have been telling me. I'll keep looking even though I really never see anything!
I think sorting is like you always do with dry beans just to make sure there's no sand or little stones in there.
I have that same exact refrigerator and I pull my shelves out and wash them. Are you sure yours don’t come out?
I just love you. I am glad someone talks about what they experience with HRT.. I find it very helpful . I have been on Estradiol patch for a few years now and also a progesterone pill which I take at bedtime with Magnesium gluconate. when I started Estradiol patch they started me on the higher dosage and it was too much and I started spotting. told the doctor I didn't want to go back to having a period. It was too much estrogen. cut the dosage back and all is well. couldn't live without my HRT. as for the refig. I have cleaned houses for 46 years and have cleaned a lot of frigs. they are not fun. you did a good job.
Thank you for sharing your HRT journey. It does help to hear what others are doing. Interestingly, she increased my Estradiol last year because I was still getting hot flashes. It's been fine until she changed it this last time. Hopefully I will have answers soon.
Some Bazmati has husks in and you have to pick them out. Mostly however I use wholegrain rice, plus I got myself a lovely little Rice Cooker, it is so easy. 😊😊
I've been considering getting a rice cooker! My son has one and he loves it! Thanks Cindy!
The reality seems more to be your judgement of yourself than others judging you
I swear I have the exact same fridge as you! I hate that wire thingy in the middle drawer! So pointless! Thanks Bobby, which you all the best and good health. FYI, I’m having surgery tomorrow - lens replacement and I’m sooo nervous. I am also conservative about doctors and treatments, but I want bionic super sight! Pray for me 😂🙏🏻❤
I think if you move your frig all the way out and then turn it on an angle, you should be able to get your door open enough to pull out the drawer. Might need to unhook your water/ice dispenser. Also, I couldn't figure out how to remove some of our shelves, so I found a YouTuvbe video. Success! Good luck!
Thanks for showing a real fridge clean out. Who cares that it’s not Pinterest worthy. It is definitely clean and functional. All that matters.
I can't keep up with a Pinterest worthy home! I am all about getting it done and doing it as fast, but as good as I can.
HELLO!! Praying for You and Your Health Journey! Tip… I have to say… I love cream but wow… that is a lot (lol)… You might want to try using some good organic (no fillers added) Heavy Whipping Cream instead of the Half & Half… It doesn’t spike your insulin and it’s so much more creamy that you need far less of it. GOD Bless You Bobbie!!!
The reason we want to eat less carbs is to stabilize our blood sugar which in turn lowering and stabilizing our insulin. Most of us eating a standard american diet are soaking in insulin. I HIGHLY recommend wearing a continuous glucose monitor to learn how foods impact your blood sugar. I recently got a Stelo subscription (new direct-to-consumer CGM) and it's been super helpful. For example... xylitol gum is a 20-30 point increase. One flour tortilla increased my blood sugar 60! More women should try Stelo--it's one of the best things I'm doing for my health.
oh wow, she is kind of going overboard on the spotting. It is totally normal to spot after HRT the first even 6 months. My gyno told me it is all normal side effect. And if the sonogram is fine then why would you go back for a biopsy if spotting? If your uterus lining is thin than you would not need a biopsy. My gyno did have a sonogram done, but only because I was kind of freaked out about it and requested it. It was fine, but yeah still had the spotting since my body was adjusting to the hormone. IDK, but it stinks you would have to get a biopsy if you spot after having the sonogram.
You're amazing only ❤️ lovely people are cheering you on. Real people don't judge. Please buy Madagascar vanilla or good vanilla use it in your coffee or premier protein shake in coffee for sweetness ❤
I had to have 3 d&c in my later 50s an early 60s really no big deal❤
I was not on HRT but i spottted and they did a biopsy. Thankfully it was nothing. Prayers for yours to not be anything either.
Go you!!!
You have the same fridge we have, can your Huddy remove that awful divider thing in our drawer too 😅😅
He had to take apart the entire drawer, but he did get it out!!!
Hi, l clean my fridge and freezer out every month, just in case l spill something or my son does, he's a professional chef, he comes over and cooks meals for me, when he has time to do it, hugsssss ❤❤❤
Hi Bobbie, I`ve had an experience with my HRT. I had unexpected spotting last year went for an ultra sound all ok. This year I was trying out testosterone as well as Progesterone tablet & oestrogen gel. I had severe breast pain that anti inflammatory meds wouldn`t stop and also spotting again. I went to GP had to stop the HRT had the ultra sound and saw the consultant straight after. A polyp was found, I went a week later for the hysteroscopy and polyp removal and biopsy. She said all looked good, the removal went well and I am still waiting for the biopsy results. Have to wait for results before I decide on resuming HRT. No more spotting or breast pain. If all is good I may opt for the Progesterone and Oestrogen gel and give the testosterone a miss. I guess all us ladies are so different as to what helps us and doesn`t. As you say Bobbie.. we need to look after ourselves and don`t put these visits to the GP off. Take care x
What a journey, but I'm happy to know you are ok!
Can you remove the bins on the inside of the doors so you can then remove the drawers? Love the lazy Susan idea for the fridge…totally stealing that idea lol😂
The drawer won't come out until we move the door out of the way - even with the bins removed. Ugh! Bad design
Buy a steamer cleaner with a nozzle it shoots hot water all over and cleans it so well...
