Maybe a more high-fat treat but yum. I made a vegetable soup with a can of coconut milk once and whoa, it was too delicious to make again, haha. Anyways, this is all to say I’m glad you’re back, I remember your posts from years ago and I love reading your new ones!

I remember you from the "old days." I wish I had stuck with it this whole time, but I'm back now and looking forward, not back. I plan on sticking it out this time. Thanks for posting and being an inspiration. Good luck on training for your upcoming run!
kirstykay wrote:Hi Katie! I just read your story from the testimonials page. It was riveting! Did you ever write that book? Just wanted ypu to know that I really enjoyed reading your story and was inspired by it. Also, thanks for popping on on my journal and commenting. You gave me lots to think about, and I appreciate your perspective as a "lifer." Your insight is helpful. And it's really nice to see you still here inspiring us. It seems like most people disappear once they find their success. Thanks for being an inspiration to those of us still trodding along.

You have a super-inspiring story with McD and your running!!! THANK YOU so much for sharing this!!!
I have to say that I LOVE to hear what you say about your trail running... I am a LAPSED (for YEARS) mid-pack LAZY runner (yes, no don't make me do speedwork or hills... HA!)... I am maybe not running again ever (and certainly not running like I did before)... but.... my feet do want to go a bit faster and was thinking to do a few intervals of SUPER SLOW jogging...
Anyway, I am not sure if you are familiar with Marathon & Beyond Publication ... but if you are not... I am 100% sure that you will like it.... I subscribed to this for years and it was like a BOOK with such great (and fascinating) stuff. This link has almost every single issue that you can read for free. It is a US publication, but it has some international features. It is AMAZING!!! There is stuff about trail racing, road marathons, book features (i.e., George Sheehan "On Running")... I was found the link this weekend when I was googling what perhaps I should do to run "easy" intervals .... (And then with my lame intervals read about Western States 100M and a 10 day run as much as you can each day Ultra...)... Super fascinating...

Thank you for posting on my journal page. I really liked what you had to say about getting off the various Facebook sites. I just have a couple of McDougall ones and some Zentangle art ones and I keep up with family on there too. I rarely post but once in a while comment. That's it. I think it really was taking up too much time. Posting here makes more sense to me and doesn't sway me.
I am curious about following the "vanilla" Starch Solution plan. I like hearing that you lost your weight following that plan. I would have to prepare myself for a longer journey but look what I am doing now?? I am standing still (as far as weight loss is concerned) and because I binge eat when restricting, I gain and lose the same couple pounds and am certainly not eating healthy. Did you have things you stayed away from when you were in the losing faze of SS or do you just eat always the same ? I think I would feel more relaxed and not tense up so much when eating out or on vacation. I just have not considered SS because I keep thinking I would not lose weight following it. I have to give it some thought and maybe test it out for a month ? I think MWL is such a great way to lose weight and I love Mark and Wildgoose and all their comments but if I can, more better, follow SS and lose weight then I would like to give it a try. I just would like to eat my meals and not think about dieting all the time.
Sorry I am rambling.

Thank you for letting me ramble on about this. I don't want to throw anyone off by posting this either.
