Excerpt - Protective Custody by Lynette Eason

Protective Custody

by

Lynette Eason




Guarding witnesses? All in a day's work for deputy U.S. marshal Carly Masterson. Protecting the judge who was indirectly responsible for her mentor's death? That's another story. Still, she won't let harm come to Judge Nicholas Floyd, or the niece and nephew in his care. She's determined to do the job right, and not let her emotions take over—no matter how wonderful it feels to be accepted by the little family. Can she let go of the past and learn to t...

Day 2 of going low carb

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.12.2010



I started some new supplements and the program has me go on a diet that is low carb, gluten-free, and no sugar. A no sugar diet is supposed to combat potential insulin resistance, which often goes hand in hand with perimenopause and hypothyroidism, my own personal evil trifecta. I don't have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism—and none of the more serious symptoms—but because I have slightly elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, I thought it ...

Mission of Hope

by

Allie Pleiter




No one knows who he is or where he's from. But witnesses throughout San Francisco report a masked man in black is bringing supplies—and badly needed hope—to homeless earthquake survivors. Some believe that the city's gallant rescuer is a gentleman of wealth. But others whisper that he is a working-class man with courage as great as his faith. And rumor has it that one of the city's most spirited society belles is helping him against her family's wishes. Wha...

Going no or low sugar - thoughts?

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.10.2010



If you've gone no sugar or low sugar, please chime in here, because I could use some advice. I'd like to go low sugar. Partly because my friend Dineen's husband did it and lost a ton of weight, and partly because I'm wondering if I have insulin resistance, which is forming an evil trifecta with my possible thyroid problems and premenopause.



I found out a few weeks ago after talking to my mom that both sides of my family has had thyroid problems, and I'm pr...

I am benched

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.05.2010



For a little while. Let me explain.



I went to get new running shoes on Sunday, but since I have a million and one things weird about my feet—they're extra narrow, I have flat feet, I was getting blisters on my pinky toes, I have flat feet, my heels tend to slip in shoes, I need a wide enough toe box, and did I mention I have flat feet?—the salesgirl had to pause for a freak-out moment before settling down to help me.



I was in more pain from my blisters th...
