    Machka, hope you ride your storm out safely!

    My soup was a bit unhealthy, but oh so good. Chicken, pasta, homemade broth, check. Then I added some diced tomatoes, and a handful of white beans, and then 2 slices of pepper jack cheese melted in the broth. I then added a hefty spoonful of sour cream. To top it off, I put some slices of brie in the bottom of my ramen bowl!🙃😁💖

    That was my only meal today. I also had a piece of my homemade Christmas Crack with coffee. Its like if saltine crackers, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and chocolate chips had an Almond Rocha baby! There's no almonds in there though!

    Barbie – I contacted a woman with the Linus Project in Washington state who is across the Columbia River from me. I think there is also a group in the Beaverton OR area. Both are a significant distance from me. I’ll do a bit of research to determine which way to go. Traffic and getting to the right place is worrisome. Your advice is welcome. :flowerforyou:

    :)Katla, The woman who manages the Project Linus Chapter here has made all sorts of arrangements for people to drop off blankets and for her to pick them up in many locations on the Olympic and Kitsap Peninsulas. She may be unusual and especially committed. Have you asked either of the chapters if there are other locations where you can drop off finished blankets?

    This is one of the better lists I've seen, especially because it includes taking practical steps.

    One of the first things I need to do in order to reduce stress is to determine why I'm stressed ... and then to determine if there is anything I can do about that reason.

    So if I am stressed about an assignment or deadline of some sort coming due, the best way to reduce that stress is to do the assignment/finish what's required before the deadline.

    If I'm stressed about long-term situations I can't do much about, that's where a lot of the other tips come in.

    Kirby asked me when did I start recording my MS virtual miles, I didn’t remember which got me curios. I looked my first ride that I recorded was on April 26 of this year, had I been aware of it earlier I would have started earlier, oh well., I’m not going to reach 1st place and I’m ok with that.

    Barbie - Contacting the two Project Linus leaders is on my todo list. I’m sometimes a slow poke but I am motivated to figure it out.

    I LOVE Christmas crack- I had the recipe for over 20 yrs before I tried it. We were making other candies and had all the ingredients so tried it. Oh my goodness- So simple to make but so good. Hard to stay out of it when I make it- that is why it is just at Christmas and I try and give most of it away to friends

    Barbara, flax seeds, chia seeds, and hemp heart seeds are all good for adding nutritional value to your foods. I just made some amazing muffins with grated zucchini and carrot, almond flour, coconut flour, ground flax seed, maple syrup, and a bunch of eggs. I add hemp hearts to oatmeal to up the protein and either flax or chia seeds to smoothies for added fat and fiber.

    I had the best smoothie for breakfast. Diced apple, banana cinnamon protein powder, almond milk, nut butter, cinnamon, and lots of ice to make it cold and thick.

    I spent yesterday studying my metabolic reboot program. It’s going to be hard. To begin, everybody starts with the same eating plan, which is high on veggies and protein and low on carbs and sugar. We are allowed one starchy carb serving per day, preferably with dinner. It’s ok to have carbs and sugar from fruits and veggies, but no processed foods other than protein powder. As the program progresses, the plan becomes more individualized. I’ve only been logging faithfully for a few days and I know already that I cannot meet my protein goals without adding protein shakes. I just cannot eat that much meat! I will be the first to admit that the added protein stops the cravings. I was also glad to know that ashwaghanda is a recommended supplement. It is really helping me to improve my sleep.
