@drkknits Snook and I are cranking through 3 dozen a week. So many eggshells.

---

Waiting for the Snook. In view of a sausage sizzle. In the rain. This is seriously harshing my buzz.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits My cholesterol and BP have always been fine on it. Dr K knows more about the scientific research.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits But the diet is just low-carb in the sense of eating real meats, veg, fruits, and nuts. Avoiding grains & legumes.

---

@drkknits We just get the Lindt 85% block. Single square usually is enough for me!

---

Hourlong walk home from work with the Snook in the rain. There’s my moderate aerobic activity for the day, AND a spontaneous play session!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits High carbs = insulin spike. And they make me feel terrible and bloaty and ravenous. Protein and fat fill you up!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits I’m actually reading an interesting ebook on it. Will share it with you.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Some argue that year round access to fruit, for example, is not how our ancestors would have eaten. #cavemanpower

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Let me assure you, there is no seasonal fruit in Indiana in winter. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Regardless, fructose is an -ose = sugar. They give OJ to diabetics in shock. Might as well be a Coke, really!

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Well, that’s why I sent you one of the latest books on the subject. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Here’s an intro from the NYT: http://t.co/JifxZvWB

Woke up in the middle of a dream that I found a manga version of “The Dark Tower.” Now I’m disappointed it wasn’t real.

---

@brittanieshey I still use Google Reader, despite them tearing out all the best parts last year. #bitter

---

Gearing up for first bike commute in the wet!

---

@gilmae Ugh. North Sydney sucks, dude.

---

Amazing what a difference some fresh air and exercise in the morning makes. I am in a better mood with more focus than in past 3 days.

---

The Snook’s office has free cake today. Some of my co-workers are going to Pancakes on the Rock for lunch. EVIL CARB TEMPTATION ABOUNDS.

---

@stufromoz Very sorry to hear it. I’ll keep my eyes open for you…

---

@drkknits Nice one! I’m not having a Good Day today. Hungry. Annoyed. Hot.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits Been working in the kitchen for past hour.

---

@drkknits Kitchen. Had to get veggie box, then do loads of dishes, then cook dinner. And I’m just not feeling well. 🙁

---

@drkknits I dunno. Tummy was back to being a little stressed. I had to refill my Nexium Rx, so maybe too much acid. Feeling kinda pukey.

---

#paleo dinner: Pork-Stuffed Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Breasts (yes, really), Carrot Mash, and Pak Choy. http://t.co/5f9APEZ4

---

@eileenDCoE Maybe AFTER I finish the low-carb challenge. 🙂

---

@randomknits I like that chair!

@hexsteph Ha, yes, and I blogged all about it. I’ll find you a link

W00t! My bike rack has arrived! Now for my panniers! (Apparently, I have become a person who gets excited by bicycle accessories.)

---

@KathrynElliott Awww, that looks awesome! Wish I’d have booked in. Tell me if it’s good and I’ll go next year! 🙂

---

@Illdrinn Pics or it didn’t happen. #shoewhore

---

@imdominating @browneyeddaisy Yes! Monkey is 60% finished. You’re gonna love this one. Hoping to start contest this weekend at latest.

---

@janiematts Hipster alert! You should pointedly suggest that her outfit could be better with a bird on it. (@mrs_sockvictim @drkknits)

---

Running the oven self-clean for only the 2nd time ever. Will it asplode again? The anticipation is killing me. #burnination

---

I’m at Toby’s Estate Espresso Bar (129 Cathedral Street, at Palmer St, Sydney) [pic]: http://t.co/pyc1ZT5P

---

@drkknits Maybe carb flu. Causes sadness. Then rage. Then tiredness. Then all three at once.

---

@drkknits Drink lots of water. Eat good fats – macadamias! You’ll come out the other side, you’ll see.

---

Ugh. Yes, kitchen reno looks to be about $4K more than we were hoping. Now is the agonising part where we debate if it’s worth it.

---

On the phone with Pa Snook, arbiter and expert on all things Renovation. He’ll know what to do.

---

Finally headed home after 5.5hrs in home reno land. Yes, we’re getting our dream kitchen. 🙂

---

Haha, just comparing numbers on the fridge at home. We will be DOUBLING our fridge and freezer space. YAY FOR BULK BUYING.

---

Working on my socks for the Show. Last night I dreamt that I didn’t win a ribbon, and they displayed them wadded up and inside out.

---

@discoknitter Westinghouse 606L side-by-side: http://t.co/RcEnVVRX. Have to redo the whole kitchen to fit it in!

---

Our new kitchen. Because, as my friend Lyn says, “white is for indecisive people.” http://t.co/fSecCPSf

---

@drkknits Takes about 6 weeks to build all the cabinets. So middle of March! Happy birthday to me! 🙂

---

Lazyweb: what’s the best butcher in Marrickville? Think I’ll go for a bike ride tomorrow…

---

@Gin_ev_ra Huh? I thought Marrickville was loaded with butchers.

---

@discoknitter We got Harvey Norman to pricematch most stuff from Appliances Online. On the fridge tho, they were actually lowest!

---

@drkknits Don’t forget to check on HM! I always do it over breakfast. 🙂

---

@drkknits Oh wait, duh. Yeah, you’re right. Hahahaha. 🙂

---

@imdominating *swoon* I had that as my screensaver all though college.

---

RT @imdominating: Thanks you, Foghorn Leghorn for my new line: He’s about as sharp as a bowling ball.

I suspect I was the only person at Dendy Newtown to get excited by seeing Lisbeth Salander’s actual SQL queries.

@knitterjp I promised him I’d try to make one session a week. 7am was the only one that fit!

@drkknits I don’t usually make it. Just buy it in tubs from Asian grocery! 🙂 Maangchi has best Korean recipes tho: http://t.co/E7JWi6fj

@sixandahalfst @witty_knitter @discoknitter I KNEW IT!!!

Sitting on the bus in The Rocks going nowhere. Hungry. @the_snook’s arm is starting to look tasty…

---

Dude on the bus is blaring his music SO LOUD. But randomly, he is listening to the Star Wars soundtrack. So overall THUMBS UP, geeky dude.

---

An HOUR to get home from The Rocks. AN HOUR TO GO LESS THAN 3 MILES. MOVE! MOOOOVE! (I am screaming in my head like Elaine on the subway.)

---

@drkknits Definitely! Fill up on that good protein. 🙂

---

@drkknits I made it home and gnawed on some biltong instead. NICK OF TIME.

---

@drkknits This sort is salt & vinegar. Mostly like chewy, dried meat! I’m a fan. Costco has a jerky deal on I might try to hit next weekend.

---

@drkknits Sure! There’s still a couple pieces. I’ll bring it along.

---

@drkknits Asian Meatballs with Cabbage. (Will post recipes on blog.) #paleo http://t.co/VlkqZcGp

---

@DDsD When will the AO sale end? Finally looking to buy my fridge…

---

@drkknits Hahaha. So you’re at the ANGRY phase of carb withdrawal? 🙂

---

@drkknits NO! Worst thing ever. You should get a Soda Stream! Fizzy water feels more special than plain, kills soda cravings more.

---

@arwenamin @drkknits Dr K was asking me about how @the_snook and I eat low-carb: http://t.co/sZB0TJUL. So she’s giving it a try. 🙂

---

@arwenamin @drkknits Dark Chocolate is totally allowed as a “sensible indulgence.” I couldn’t handle it otherwise… 🙂

---

@drkknits You know what’s a good source of protein? A BIG HUNK OF MAN MEAT. http://t.co/fPEQQuHI

---

First client meeting done and dusted! That went pretty well, I think. Project team all seem very capable and great to work with.

---

@taradefrancisco Stop running on it til it’s better. Or two years later it will still hurt, and you will feel stupid. Ask me how I know.

---

@drkknits Post-work paleo snack of dill pickle, handful of macadamias, and a couple pieces of biltong. 🙂

Anybody in Sydney up for a Costco visit the weekend after next? Some good discounts on… http://t.co/kUVUVMWc (cc @mrs_sockvictim)

---

@knitabulous @drkknits Snook and I have been mostly paleo for 6 months. Just making the final tweaks. Dr K is intrigued so I’m advising. 🙂

---

@knitabulous @drkknits Would be hard with a family with kids, no doubt. Also expensive!

---

@knitabulous @drkknits So proud of @the_snook. He went to work event with free crisps and beer and didn’t partake at all!

---

RT @Lackadazy: The only reason I care about the Oscars this year, or any year really, is for @web_goddess’s contest. // It’s coming!

@drkknits If you want to tweet every meal at me to keep you honest, go for it! I might do the same. 🙂

---

@drkknits Though to me, that brekkie needs some MEAT. (I had sausage AND chicken with my eggs. CARNIVORE NOM NOM NOM.)

---

@kcarruthers You’ll have to pry my Toodledo from my cold, dead hands.

---

@kcarruthers Ah. That’s why I use online list that sync to every computer and phone. I’m fairly disciplined when it comes to lists though.

@quietdiscourse Yep. It’s a new role for them, so hoping to go permanent once I prove how awesome and useful I am. 🙂

Sorry for the massive infodump, @drkknits! 🙂

ZOMG. You talk loudly on the bus AND refuse to move to the back? You’re lucky I don’t have Instant Death Mind Powers.
