My Amazing Wife's LC Pizza Alternative (Yum!)

Busy day ahead. I'm not sure if I'll be online much. Photo ops seem iffy as well. Time will tell ...

Part one of the our busy Sunday involved going to a beach bar to celebrate a good friend's birthday. We had a good time and I managed to choose LC options right off of the limited menu.

Part two is TBD. But I did decide to have a "meal replacement" shake before going. The word is that they're ordering pizza for dinner. If there's something else available as well, I'll nosh a bit. If not, I'm all good. I can always have a snack when I get back, if need be.

Update: Pizza it was. Pizza I did not have. That is until I got home. See what I mean below.

Pork al Pastor w/Organic Guacamole

I just posted a column about the superiority of a low carb diet in the management of prostate cancer. Healthy Fellow (my other site) isn't specifically a low carb project, but I try to share about the benefits of LC living whenever possible and scientifically validated. By doing so, I hope to do my part to balance out the rather negative portrayal of LC diets as covered by most mainstream sources.

The primary thought going through my mind right now is to try and do the right thing even though I have a sense of impending doom. There's always a choice, isn't there? No matter how bad you feel.

I'm not sharing this to illicit sympathy or to complain about anything. We all have our own set of problems. I just know that many of you have gone through (or are going through) rough times as well. In many of those instances, you've shown great resolve in sticking to the right path even though it wasn't easy to do.

I don't know if I'll hang on to the straight and narrow that I hope to. But I thank you for the good examples you've set. I hope I can return the favor.

More to come ... I hope.

Update: We went on a walk this evening. We need to get moving more often. Hopefully we can do this again on Wednesday.
