Increasing my protein % is bringing sanity back into my thoughts and eating. That may be a bold statement but anyone who has battled food cravings understands the peace that happens when they go away.

I haven't lost any weight this month other than losing the weight that I recently gained. The number on the scales is back where I started at the beginning of the month.

I am seeing progress in hip pain that has been restricting my ability to walk. Last night I was able to do a longer PM walk with no pain. I hope I never forget the joy of being able to walk freely and without restrictions.

[Kittykatt]

I'm glad your hip pain is getting better, Lady M!

It has been one week since I changed my protein %. That modification to the way I eat has brought nothing but good results. I don't pay any attention to carbs or fats. I am fearful of trying to establish a restrictive mindset that might cause me to rebel. I solve that by keeping my focus on protein and letting everything else (carb & fats) be whatever happens.
I am curious....my hip pain has almost disappeared during the same time frame that I have focused on protein %. Is that a coincidence or cause/effect? hum...
