PQ–I’m sure you are tired of hearing people’s suggestions on what to eliminate from your diet to help with your migraines.

Have you ever considered the LEAP approach? It involves a blood test that can pinpoint what foods you need to avoid. You can find more info at nowleap.com. I am a Registered Dietitian and have heard from other RDs that work with LEAP that the results can be truely amazing. It might help you to take out some of the dietary trial and error.

Hope you find a solution!

I randomly picked up your book at the library the other day and absolutely loved every word of it. I had no idea you were a blogger until I read the book then saw you’re speaking at Fitbloggin AND in NC. (Umm I’m not a stalker… just excited since now your book and your blog have both made me laugh out loud;))

@Jackie – I just moved to CH and I’m trying to get involved in activities and meet people. Are you taking any other newcomers to your walking group? If so, drop me a line at Ana (dot) alvarezv (at) gmail.com. Thanks!

@lee – So true, when you’re overweight, that is your one and only problem, according to the medical profession. Now that I’m getting to a normal weight, I wonder what exactly will be my doctor’s response to my complaint that my knees still hurt like a mother, and so does my shoulder.

@Lisa – I hadn’t thought of that. I will be 60 in less than 120 days (haven’t stopped to count exactly how many yet), and will weigh much less at my 60th birthday than I weighed at 40 or 50! So maybe getting really old isn’t so bad. That, and I can retire in a couple of years!

I’ve was ill all spring and lost 10 kg. But when my appetite returned I gained it all back and then some! I don’t weigh that much, but I’m at the heaviest weight ever and cannot exercise like I used to because of an operation wound that is still a little tender. I find walking so boring and would love to run, and it’s extremely frustrating watching others do it but not be able to myself. So I’m in the same boat as you, need to walk and get my weight down but don’t much feel like it!

@Sheri – Just wanted to say that I’m rooting for your. One step at a time. You can do it!

I just want this post to pop up every day to remind me that while I need to do something, I don’t have to like it. But that I still need to do it. I’m off to put on my walking shoes and take my walk. *sigh* Get it done and then it is over with for the day! *even bigger sigh*

Thanks for the reminder! :-)

I’m feeling you on both levels, PastaQueen. I had to give up all caffein cold turkey a couple of years ago due to heart arrhythmia. We have a great espresso place on every corner out here in the Pacific Northwest, and the smell makes me want to weep.

I also TRULY GET the change in weather (NOT the geographical kind) that you’re grappling with. I’m coming back after (oh god, this sounds bad) 12 years of being off the healthy lifestyle bandwagon. Whatever it takes to shift gears, PQ, hang in there. I’m doing it right there with you.
