Pain, depression, sleep loss, and weight-loss
My knee is hurting. It's swollen, which means the scale is meaningless. And... it hurts. Nothing like chronic pain to feed depression. Also, nothing like pain to help keep you awake at night.
Yesterday, I found myself stuffing my face. Eating much more than I should have, much more often than I should have...
LC-safe foods, but probably much too much of them.
I'm hurting too much to make fat-bombs (or even coffee, to be honest).
I hate this.
Off to the gym, today, to take some heat-therapy (and get a shower -- I feel safer showering at the gym, when it's like this, than climbing into my tub at home). Hopefully that helps, some.
It's become so rare for my knee to flare, but it's amazing what it does to me when it happens. Maybe because my "baseline" is so much higher than it was two years ago.
I totally understand where you are coming from LG. I have chronic widespread pain and sometimes I just want to give up, but I don't. If I deviate from my exercise or eating plan the pain gets MUCH worse. If I take my meds and do everything I'm supposed to, I can live with it.
I'm sure that the swelling will pass with a little time. Hang in there!! I have to take a prescription NSAID, which I hate, but maybe that would help you in the short term?
Very sorry you're hurting. Is there any pain medication that will take the edge off? I hope you heal quickly.
Sorry you have been in pain, Literate Griffin. :console: Try to get extra sleep/rest, drink extra water, and eat extra-healthy food (such as greens and liver, if you like them). I have a health issue (chronic UTI) that flares up with symptoms occasionally, and those actions seem to limit the flare-ups, in my case anyway.
:console: Feel better soon.:console:
I totally understand the impulse to eat more food when you're feeling vulnerable. Honestly, it may not even impact your weight loss goals because you have put some controls in place by limiting your carb intake. But when it comes to emotional eating behavior, I think the issue of weight loss or weight gain is less significant than the long-term emotional cost.
For the long-run, maybe this is an opportunity to find new ways -- more emotionally satisfying ways -- to take care of yourself and find comfort from sources that are completely unrelated to food. My question is: What do you REALLY want? If you're not actually hungry, then you probably don't *really* want food. If food isn't the solution to your emotional desires, then what is the answer? If you can find this answer and address your emotional needs directly, you may end the day much happier and more satisfied than food could make you.
Just a thought! Hang in there!
I'm sorry, LG. I'm feeling pretty down about some physical stuff right now, but in my case I am holdi g onto my woe like a life raft bc it feels like the only thing I've got going for me. :( I hope your knee comes around pretty quick and I have no doubt that you will be eating well by the time it does.
LiterateGriffin - I don't have anything to add - I just wanted to give you a big :hugs: and I hope you feel better soon!
If I have engaged in behavior that could lead to a UTI, I will drink 1/2 t in a few ounces of water as soon as possible. If I am feeling symptoms of a UTI, I mix 1teaspoon into a few ounces of water and drink once an hour for three doses and then wait and see what happens. I haven't needed anything after that. It takes the edge off the symptoms in 15 min or so and within about an hour I don't have any UTI sensation at all.
It is possible to kind of OD on baking soda, so I always keep track of how much I've had and make sure never to have more than 2T in a day. But I've never come close to that.
Lmk if it works for you! I hate taking antibiotics, so I was so thrilled to find this. :)
Thanks for supplying more detail, Jayne. I will definitely be trying this.
Take care LG
My advice is find a distraction! Read a book, watch a movie, play a game on the computer!
I DO have a prescription anti-inflammatory that MAYBE helps a little bit? And some prescription pain-killers that are wonderful, but I can't take them till my husband is home from work. (We have 1 car, so I have to be able to drive.)
Thankfully, we now drive a Prius, instead of the 20 year old F-350 we drove in California. The clutch on that puppy used to KILL me when my knee was flaring.
I'm recognizing that I'm riding that edge of pain-induced despair, right now. The binge-eating yesterday... Well, it wasn't even EASY. The one saving grace is that it wasn't chips or doughnuts or some crap like that... but it was still BAD.
It's so hard to care, when I'm hurting.
hope you feel better soon .......
Sorry you're having so much pain. I know how that feels. :hugs:
Have you read Wheat Bellies? The symptoms you're talking about are symptoms Dr. Davis describes in his book. All through his book. Maybe it's gluten intolerance or an allergy to wheat.
Is there anything that can be done for your knee surgically? And I totally get the no-sleep=binging thing. I work 2-20 hour shifts per week and if it is an all-nighter, I most definitely have a higher carb day the next day. When you are sleep deprived, you seem to crave carbs. It seems like your body is asking for a carb induced coma to combat the lack of sleep.
How are you feeling today, LG? Sending hugs!
Hope your sleep was better...
I don't see how my knee inflammation could be caused by wheat, as I haven't had anything containing wheat in a long time.
I'm thinking hard, trying to come up with the last time I was exposed to wheat/gluten... I had a beer, back around Valentine's Day. That DIDN'T cause my knee to flare up just as the weather changed several weeks later.
Basically, I might be more inclined to believe my knee issues were wheat/gluten related if there were ANY correlation whatsoever between the two (gluten ingestion/knee pain), which there isn't, or if I actually CONSUMED either one (wheat/gluten) on a regular basis.
It does seem to be improving, finally. I had a 20-minute soak in the hot tub yesterday, which seemed to help. I'll try to get another soak in later today. With any luck, that'll be enough to get the cold out of it, and I can start moving forward again.
I DON'T seem to have gotten off scot-free from my binge -- I appear to be "up" this morning, though I don't really trust my scale right now. (As mentioned, swollen joints = bad scale-readings.)
At least I should be able to start making breakfast again, soon, which should help. (If I eat a nice, high-fat breakfast, everything else goes well. When I start cutting corners there, things go poorly.)
Here's hoping the second dose of hot-tub and the improved weather conditions help!
How about having a soak in the tub with Epsom Salts? I have a bad knee and that usually gives me some relief... Also, Ibuprofen... It reduces inflammation.
I get knee issues when I make wrong movements, or I haven't walked/exercised enough. Since I have a wheat allergy diagnose, I've not noticed any improvement when not eating wheat. For me, one thing has nothing to do with the other. (It's a tendon/muscle injury)
Well, I hope your day will be good, and you feel better, sending more hugs!
My knee issue is complicated, but involves physical damage to the joint.
Ibuprofen doesn't help... I've got a prescription that helps a little (not much), but I'm almost out. (Should have insurance in another week, to get more.)
Wondering if -- when the insurance kicks in -- I can get them to consider partial knee resurfacing, which my PT once recommended to me....
I DID sleep last night -- was on lots of painkillers, which I'm sure helped.
Thing is, I'm afraid to take a bath at home when it's this bad. Climbing in and out is... scary. The hot tub at the gym has railings, and I can go down the stairs... it's a lot less frightening. (So are their handicapped showers, even if the water-pressure isn't great.)
Someday, we'll OWN our home, and then I'll be able to make whatever bathroom adjustments I need! ~looks forward to that day~
Well, sending lots of healing thoughts, it must be frustrating to deal with the knee issue, especially if you can't bathe at home... (maybe sneak in a tub of Epsom salts to the gym hot tub? LOL!)
Love your goal. I put it on the front of my new weight loss book of information. I did add "Never give up, never surrender" Ha. :high5:
It now reads "My goal has changed from mere weight loss to Health, Quality of life and Longevity. This is no longer a diet but a it's a way of life. Never give up, never surrender"

Fiji Restaurants
Royal Davui
Royal Davui , Beqa Island
Tel: 679 336 1624
The Banyan restaurant at the Royal Davui resort takes its name from a large, flowering banyan tree that spreads its branches over the main open-air dining pavilion. Since it overlooks the spectacular Beqa Lagoon, the setting couldn't be more scenic. But the restaurant's allure isn't just in its vistas; the menu is a sophisticated mix of European and Pacific Rim cuisine. There are no standard dishes; the menu changes daily to take advantage of the freshest and best in the markets and the catch of the day.
Guests only.
Port Denarau
Denarau Island
Tel: 679 670 3131
Chefs, located right on Port Denarau Marina, is the best restaurant in town and it knows it (thus the smug white tablecloths and formal European decor). They jump for local VIPs (the bread and butter of their business), so don't be surprised if you are stonewalled for dinner because visiting diplomats or the Bank of Fiji have rented out the entire joint. It's worth coming however to chow down on excellent dishes with local flavors such as the filet of ulavi (reef fish) in herb and potato crust with grain mustard sauce and vegetable medley, or coral trout baked in banana leaf with lemon grass, lime, and coconut. Of course, wealthy Fijians like European standards that are difficult to find elsewhere like beef tartare and tiger prawns in parmesan, pesto, and red pepper roulie with homemade pasta and banana crepes. Lunch is more lighthearted, with the excellent lamb korma burger garnished with mint and gardens greens, or the marinated walu (a.k.a. butterfish), lime, and salad. But lunch or dinner, do not skip dessert: opt for the passion-fruit crème brûlée with honey wafer and fresh fruit or the Fiji coconut cream pie on pineapple coulis with vanilla ice cream.
Open daily 11 am to 10 pm.
Dolphin Island , Dolphin Island
Tel: 64 7 378 5791
Chef Dawn Simpson serves a hearty and varied mix of dishes that she learned at her mother and grandmother's sides, along with recipes influenced by these multicultural islands. That means one day the Dolphin Island hotel might serve perfect fish and chips, and on another day, curried prawns and roti. Meals are served in a traditional Fijian open-air bure with large verandas for lounging afterward. Guests can sit back with a cocktail and while away the evening, surrounded by the rustle of flora and the sounds of the sea.
Guests only.
Liku Liku Lagoon Resort
Malolo Island , Mamanuca Islands
Tel: 679 672 4275
Fijiana's executive chef, Shane Watson, certainly knows how to provide a memorable meal at Liku Liku Resort. There are no rules here. Even at lunch you start with an amuse bouche, maybe a seared ocean scallop with cured bush lemon and tomato salt; then a choice of three main courses like seared coral trout with green pea puree, crisp prosciutto, and balsamic, or grilled fillet steak sandwich with bacon, brie, rocket, and onion marmalade. Desserts include standouts like a carpaccio of pineapple with kaffir lime ice cream. Be sure to request a table on the patio for the best views.
Guests only.
Nukubati Island , North of Vanua Levu
Tel: 881 3901
Fax: 881 3914
The Pavilion Restaurant at this low-key, authentically Fijian resort also displays the Fijian culture in meals. There's a sensational kokodaraw fish marinated in lime and served in coconut creamalong with dishes brimming with freshly caught fish and just-plucked tropical fruits. In addition to what's on offer, the chefs will cook anything you want as long as the ingredients are available. This accommodating attitude extends to mealtimes and locations; they'll serve you whenever you feel like it and at any spot on the island that you choose.
Wakaya Island
Tel: 647 344 8128
This open-air bure, with its soaring cathedral ceiling, is a restful setting for some of the best food in Fiji. The menu was already a sophisticated mix of international preparations (New Zealand rack of lamb with roast pumpkin and hummus, Thai chicken and peanut salad, and spicy Indian prawn curry), but then frequent guest Nobu Matsuhisa, master chef of the restaurants bearing his name in New York, Los Angeles, and London, did a little consulting. Now, some of his signaturessuch as ceviche and sashimiare on the menu. The vivid flavors and imaginative presentations are of the highest standard, as you'd expect at a place that's located in the supremely deluxe Wakaya Club resort.
Guests only.
Sonaisali Resort
Sonaisali Island
Tel: 679 670 6011
The Plantation Restaurant is the fine dining establishment at Sonaisali Resort, located on a private island just a three minute boat ride from the mainland of Viti Levu. One of their beach bures is a lovely place to start or end your Fijian vacation if you need to transit one night near Nadi, but even non-guests can take advantage of the generously portioned four-course European-style dinners or the extravagant 14-course degustation menu. The food is simple, tasty, and ample, as it caters to the Aussie palate. Start with the Caesar salad made fresh at the table. Then move on to hearty main courses like the whole oven-baked fresh coconut filled with scallops, prawns, lobster, fish, and squid morsels in Pernod cream, or the Japanese tea-smoked beef. Pace yourself, as the main course is followed by a dessert like the Belgium chocolate terrine with champagne sabayon and followed up with a plate of creamy New Zealand cheeses. The restaurant, which is really more like a private dining room with ten tables, is not quite as stiff and formal as they seem to want it to be, but then again, neither are the prices. Non-guests must make reservations in advance.
Opens nightly at 6:30 pm.
Queens Road
Nadi , Viti Levu
Tel: 679 670 1233
Blasting Hindi pop music makes for a festive vibe at this delicious but nothing-to-look-at Indian restaurant next door to Jack's of Nadi (and run by the same owners). The cheap eatsno dish tops $20draw an interesting mix of visiting Bollywood stars, locals, and Japanese tourists. Most of the curry standards are on the menu, but more delightful are the hybrid dishes evolved among the Indo-Fijian community (now almost 50 percent of the population in Fiji). Mud Crab Masala is a simmering dish of the local whole crab stewed in onion tomato gravy with coconut cream, curry leaves, and mustard seeds. Corn and chorai ki bhaji is a spicy blend of corn and local spinach in a tomato curry with rye seeds, perfect with a missi roti (warm whole wheat tortilla-like bread). And possibly the best dish on the menu is kachche kele and daruca kofta, soft fritters of raw banana and local roots (duruka, taro, cassava) in lahsuni coconut (a kind of chutney) with light almond and onion gravy. If you dont like your food hot, youre out of luck here: even mild is spicy. And dont be surprised if you are offered a welcome stick-on bindi in lime green, turquoise, or purple when you sit down. We suggest you go with it. When in Rome
Open daily 11 am to 2:30 pm and 5:30 to 11 pm.
Turtle Island , Yasawa Islands
Tel: 800 255 4347 (toll-free)
Meals at this private-island resort start with vegetables from the three-acre organic garden, and seafood such as crab or lobster caught in its waters. Jacques Reymond, the French-born chef who has become a star in Australia, oversees the kitchen as a consultant and has designed the menus to reflect local ingredients, simply prepared. There is an Asian influence in the Pacific Rim dishes: Slipper lobsters come encased in buckwheat noodles, for example, and a grilled fish is served Mongolian-BBQ style. But what truly distinguishes these meals is that the dining room often changes locationsdinners are served on the beach, on top of a mountain, or in a garden. Oenophiles can choose a Riesling, champagne, or Shiraz from the resort's astounding 10,000-bottle wine cellar.
Guests only.

*** Lesson Details ***
Greetings Prospective Students,
As students advance through the various pages of music, after 3 months the student should be mid-way through the music book, able to play comfortably with their left and right hand, and able to play a selection with practice from memory. The first lesson will be the study of lines and space, fingering of the proper notes, counting the music notes, learning the whole, half, and quarter notes, which are outlined in the front of the Michael Aaron Piano Course, Book One.
The future lessons consist of being assigned a new music song once the previous song has been musically counted and music notes properly played . At the end of the piano lesson, I present the student with a piano pencil as a token of encouragement in learning to play the piano. A syllabus will be provided outlining the various music assignments and the scales to be practiced, such as: A major, B major, C major.
When the student has completed the first book, a piano recital can be planned to show family and friends their acquired music skills. I hope to hear from you soon, students. To begin your music experience, please reach out to me when your schedule permits for your piano lesson. Thank You.

By Prince Dornu-Leiku - Former Commonwealth gold medallist Ray Narh says he is ready to step into the shoes of Azumah Nelson and become Ghanas next boxing hero. Narh, 23-1, 20KOs, fights for the first time this year when he takes on Mexican slugger Michel Lozada 34-6-1, 27 KOs, for the vacant WBC USNBC lightweight title on April 3 on the undercard of Bernard Hopkins vrs Roy Jones Jr epic at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States..
But the 31 year old Ghanaian famously called The Emperor says the fight against the 26 year old Lozada will be the first step on his journey to rule the lightweight division of world boxing. My ambition is of course to be the first Ghanaian to be undisputed world champ and it will start from April 3 and then move on to greater fights thereafter. I want to fight all of the champs at lightweight, talking about Soto, Funika, Juan Diaz , Nate Campbel, just to name a few, Narh said in a chat from his US base.
The Emperor has been training fervently since his 5th round stoppage of Marteze Logan last August in what was his first fight in nearly two years. Now, he says he is more than ready to take on Lozada on the bill put together by Golden Boy Promotions and Square Ring which will also show on HBO Pay-Per-View. Everything is great, going according to plan and come fight time I will be more than ready, Ray said.
On the opponent, who like the Ghanaian boxer, has a very good knock-out record, I put him among the best because he has fought for the world title couple of times and he has a pretty good record. He is also from Mexico where good boxers come from so I am not taking him lightly at all, stated Ray.
Now a US citizen residing in Pennsylvania, Narh says he still has the nation at heart and will be entering the ring on April 3 to do battle for Ghana. He has therefore called on his countrymen to rally their support behind him as he begins the crusade to bring Ghana a boxing world champion again. I promise Ghanaians a big win, they should not lose hope in some of us and well try to put big smiles on their faces, Ray Narh pledged.
They should support me with their strong prayers and it will happen on April 3 because this chance for success, reaching the top is long overdue. But hey we give thanks to the almighty God for whatever comes our way since he knows best. But this time round we will do it and emulate the likes of Azumah, Nana Yaw Konadu and Ike Quartey big time, The Emperor concluded.

New UMX Beast 3d!
This looks incredible! The UMX beast is back!
UMX Beast 3D BNF Basic
Key Features
AS3X System for outstanding precision and 3D flight
6-Channel DSM2 Ultra Micro AS3X RX/BL/ESC unit with Spektrum technology
Full four-channel control with steerable tail wheel
Performance Linear Long Throw Servos
High-output BL180, 2500Kv brushless outrunner motor
Efficient E-flite 5 x 2.75 propeller
Fully enclosed battery for clean looks (battery not included)
Rigid construction for better handling
Detailed paint scheme with brilliant graphics and a tinted canopy
The E-flite UMX Beast® 3D is a totally new experience in all-out 3D flight capability and satisfaction from an amazing aircraft that doesnt need any more space than a small park, yard or indoor gym to be enjoyed. Enhanced with the AS3X System, the UMX Beast 3D is specifically set with an aft CG and large control surface deflections for maximum maneuverability. However, instead of handling that feels super-sensitive, the UMX Beast 3D, with the AS3X System, flies ultra smooth, even in conditions considered windy. Plus, you get locked-in precision and the outstanding control authority necessary to perform 3D more confidently. Designed by aerobatic world champion Quique Somenzini, this authentic UMX re-creation of the full-scale Beast delivers precision aerobatic and 3D excitement with the kind of stability and authority more in common with aircraft many times its actual size. And you get all the benefits without having to spend a lot of time programming. No mixing is required just add your Li-Po battery, bind to a basic DSM2/DSMX airplane transmitter setup, and the UMX Beast 3D will instantly offer you the best flight experience possible.
It's all about control. Before AS3X, stability and agility were typically limited to a narrow control range any attempt to gain more stability meant a sacrifice of agility or vice versa. With AS3X, there is no compromise. You get dramatically more control, plus more stability and agility than ever dreamed possible. Whether you're an airplane or helicopter pilot, the comprehensive control AS3X offers feels very natural, even in moderate winds, so you always get the best flying experience possible.
AS3X equipped aircraft will change the way you'll want to fly now and in the future.
There's nothing special you need to do to take advantage of the invigorating control an AS3X System equipped airplane will offer you. Every airplane equipped with the AS3X System is painstakingly tuned so that you enjoy the locked-in feel and control authority that will help show off your RC pilot skills

What is going to happen to all of the people who "learn" how to hover a plane with Gyro stabilization, then go to a plane without? I think it is a nice idea, being able to fly in windy conditions, but I wonder if it is not taking some of the challenge out of learning 3d moves.
I watched the video of the system compensating for a cross wind on the beast. It is impressive how quickly it will react and counter a force. That being said, I want no part in it. I like the challenge of flying precisely in the wind, and hovering, harriering, and putting a plane through a knife edge pass without the assistance of a gyro (or 3 in this case.)

This was inevitable. Single gyros in balsa planes aren't really as great as you might think...However, when I saw 3axis gyros in heli's, I was thinking...hmmm, now that is interesting. Surely did not expect to see a 3axis system in a umx first though. Although, the stabilization in the mCX2 and the mSR etc hinted at what was possible..just had to jump to planes. Guess it wasn't the leap that I though.
For my money...Horizon has made a quantum leap and sales should be staggeringly wonderful. Merry Christmas!!!!!!
On the "but you cant fly without it" arguement, I think it does not really hold that much water. These will be good practice planes for now. In the future, flight stabilization will be the norm. It's not actually that new and has been available for years..this is just more advanced. There was a time when computer radios and mixing was considered cheating.....time and technology march on.
|Oct 21, 2011, 01:24 AM
Some guys dont like how putting mixing into planes makes it easier. This is kind of the next step it seems.
I will not pass judgement yet. I would like to see how this is Wont see me with a 3 axis gyro on my 100CC anytime soon thats OFC.
All that being said. I am looking forward to seeing this and flying one.
|Oct 21, 2011, 02:42 AM
Interesting. Will this system be sold separately to equip other (larger) models ?
|Oct 21, 2011, 09:27 AM
I don't think it is available separately per se...but you could pull the "guts" out of one plane and stick them in another. When spares become available you should probably be able to buy the assembly that contains the as3x module (3axis gyro) and use it in other planes of similar size. I'm not sure if this is like a 5in1 which has all of the components on one board.

i thought that when i was learning to hover on realflight with a plane with a gyro, and would hover nearly hands off, but that was more like a stepping stone to getting the muscle memory and getting used to the inputs you need to make to hold a hover. now i can hover just about any 3d plane in the sim.

[QUOTE=Strizzo;19655388]don't look at it as a crutch, but as a first step.[QUOTE]
+1 Surely the debate will rage. (or fly futaba and not worry about it)
|Oct 21, 2011, 11:18 AM
And don't think of this system as a auto pilot. Or anti-crash device. From what I've read it's more to help keeping the plane more stable in the wind, which is very hard to do with a 2oz piece of foam. But will also help keep the plane stable in moves like a KE or harrier.
