Polar Bear Reality

1) the last ice age began about 110,000 years ago and ended about 15,000 years ago
2) the oldest known polar bear fossil is a 130,000 to 110,000-year-old jaw bone
3) The mitochondrial DNA of the polar bear diverged from the brown bear, Ursus arctos, roughly 150,000 years ago
4) Fossils show that between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, the polar bear's molar teeth changed significantly from those of the brown bear.
5) Brown and Polar bears interbreed. (However, the two species have mated intermittently for all that time, most likely coming into contact with each other during warming periods, when polar bears were driven onto land and brown bears migrated northward.)

Polar bears are declining because we haven't been in an ice-age for 15,000 years.

feel free to wander around or I can drag you around afterwards

atkins .... some of the things that I learend

1) get a leather belt, punch new holes when the belt gets too big ... OWN IT
2) you are not ON a DIET, you are changing your eating habits (aka changing your diet)
3) if you stop, you will get fat again
4) in the beginning, dont worry about calories, portion sizes, losing weight. worry about zero carbs. no fucking sugar, no fucking starches
5) fruit is filled with sugar - period
6) fuck the FDA and "nutritionists" ... neither are science
7) FUCKING BOREDOM is HARD
8) finding snack food is HARD, get out of the rut
9) throwing food away is OK ....

so .....

• forget about "breakfast food", because you will die of egg boredom if you stick to breakfast
• bacon should only be cooked by the package or more - baking it on a sheet in the oven is easiest - line pan with foil for easy clean up
• meat ... hot dogs, sausage ... every kind of sausage, and the more. easy to cook, easy to rewarm, easy to snack up. mmmmmm
• cheese - omfg - there are 12 billion kinds of cheese, get different ones every day/week
• celery and carrots ... as a scoop to eat hummus or cream cheese .. etc etc
• everything from the store has sugar ... look look look 
• frozen roasted chicken strips ... nuke and eat ...
• frozen shrimp - nuke and eat
• you will need "snack" food .... frozen stuff saves you TIME .... keeps you from the crap
• fucking boredom is so hard ... omlettes, never add the same thing, scrabbles, add something different, or the same thing
• hard boiled eggs for snacks ... whatever
• chicken salad, slices of ham steaks EASY EATING
• steak and eggs, just steak, pork chops, lamb chops, stews, more steak, burgers,
• mmmmmm bacon, I really need to cook more and have it in the fridge

• throwing away food is HARD, get over it
• burger, dont eat the bun
• pizza, dont eat the crust!!
• all the dishes that get put over pasta, subtract the pasta - TADA
• beef stroganoff, sausage and peppers and onions, pretty much every dish
• For awhile, I was getting potbelly sandwiches, with extra meat, and not eating the bread
• then they started putting them on salad bowls for me ... OMG so tasty
• fuck now I cant eat salads???? arghhhh
  
• avocado and net carbs
• the keys is getting rid of all starches and sugars
• avocados have massive amounts of fiber and tiny amount of carbs. go for it
• tons of apps to keep track of what you eat and how much ... meh
  
• later, assuming success, you will find yourself eating less, that 5 eggs omlette was too much ... that steak was too much ... etc ... but dont stress it until you hit a plateau
  
• fuckcing boredom .... hardest fucking part ....sheeeshhhhhh
  
• better than bouillon - IF you are going down the path of bouillon for getting extra salt ... this soup basse is amaazing ... spoonful, hot water, stir in mug ... mmmmm seriously good. I lived on the chcicken, beef, and vegetable ...
  
• boredom - if you keep a log of what you eat, and then share it with me or others, we can toss out a list of all the things that you could eat, but diddnt ...
• fissh, chicken, oh look TURKEY ... mmmm duck duck and more duck
• chorizo, andulie, polish, german, hard salamis,
•  booze ... 
• beer has the most carbs
• wine has about half of beer
• vodka has zero carbs
• So while you still have calories ... which will get burned before fat, still better than beers ... dammit ... I need to stop my beer again ... sigh
  
• odd things that might happen on atkins
• I found that I magically started walking faster, and everyone else was slow - WTF ??
• taste ... everything tastes different now ... sugars taste INSANELY too sweet ... which is a good thing 
• time - it all takes time, but if you go full atkins, you will notice huge changes, insanely quickly
• shrimp lobster crabs mmmmm seafood

so yah, it is different, not hard ... the hard part is the fucking ADDICTION to sugar ... shudder ... sigh , all this food talk, and I got nothing to eat in the house 

re low carb bread, recipes ....

I have found all those things to be stupid and misleading ... you dont need vegia pasta ... just eat more of whatever that was going on it.  You dodnt need bread, jsut eat a second burger or chicken breast or whatever ...

I would get extra bacon and extra avocado on a burger to push the burger into a meal ... tada ...
AH .... no ketchup ? fine ... mustard and mayo ... nom nom nom

oh god, I need to get work done

tips for moving

obviously all advice is based on can you afford
1) buy boxes, esp large-ish ones ... you always need more boxes than you think you need
2) buy clean/blank news sheet (obviously old newspaper works fine too) you can never use TOO much wrapping/padding
3) get the good tape ... the cheap tape doesnt stick and will rip and get a lot of it ... running out of tape? ARGHHH
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XJOBUS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
4) of course, now you need a cheap tape dispenser ... ace hardware or office supply ...

labeling !
what room does the box go in, what's in the box, how critical is it to open the box
a) couple fat sharpies go a long way
b) get or make pre printed color coded labels for which room ....
c) label the box with a number
0 - open today - whatever is in here you need NOW
1 - can wait until tomorrow
2 - can wait until next week
3 - why didnt I throw this out already???
d) write something else on the box about what's inside ... anything ... will help jog memory ...
e) take a picture of what's inside? alas ... this will slow everything downnnnnnn

Packing
a) OMG it is too late to think about "should I get rid of this or not?" having to think about each item will slow everything down to grinding halt ... just wrap it, box it, worry about it LATER
b) big heavy items on the bottom, light fragile on the top ...

IMPORTANT STUFF THAT YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT
Pack this stuff completely separate from EVERYTHING ELSE.
Move it yourself, make sure it gets put somewhere out of the WAY in the new place.
The last thing that you want broken or lost are keepsakes.
Spend extra care and attention to these.

OMG, HYDRATE
OMG the cardboard boxes will shred your hands ... little tiny micro cuts on your finger tips ... like sand paper ...
