And strawberries!

2 mugs of coffee with SF cinnamon brown sugar syrup and milk Big bowl of cottage cheese with salsa and quest loaded taco chips, crumbled Thermos of chai with milk Chicken a la king with egg white noodles Apple pie yogurt

I use SF syrup if I want the sweetness, plus ultra-filtered 2% milk. Gives me a big mug of coffee for like 30 calories, with a little bonus dash of protein.

Today: 2 big mugs that are half coffee and half of a chocolate protein milk. Cottage cheese with chili lime quest chips and salsa (note: I will not buy the chili lime ones again) Leftover steak with a frozen fire-roasted veggie mix Apple pie Greek yogurt Chai with milk x2

Yeah, like I said I will have to see how the second container is, and try buying it elsewhere next time (annoying because I went to the one store specifically because my usual store claims to carry it but is out of stock 90% of the time)

Tis time for me to see my provider again. My TSH (within the last 2 weeks) is 4.23, which is "normal". I'm medicated on 50mcg of levothyroxine daily. It was 6.6 when I was first treated and 4.27 after a month on levothyroxine. It's been 10 months since I started medicating for it, and I'm noticing I've needed more…

2 cups of coffee with a 30g protein chocolate Fairlife milk split between them, with some SF hazelnut syrup. Yum.

Minor annoyance of the day(or days, because I won't eat the whole thing in one day). I opened my newest container of Good Culture 2% Cottage cheese, which I love enough to eat plain, and it was wetter with somewhat larger curds than usual. This is off-putting. It is edible, but alot more comparable to buying a cheaper…

I am super jealous of that vacation. Stuff like that is in our future plans. We got 3 kids graduating college (and me) in the next 2years, then freedom!

I've tried repeatedly. The only way I can tolerate shrimp is the little cold ones with super horseradish cocktail sauce (which ends up higher carb than I want) and the aforementioned tempura. Shrimp otherwise literally makes me gag.

I wish I could make myself like shrimp in some way other than tempura deep fried with a nice sweet & sour sauce. Tha bang for your buck both in actual money and for protein per calories is so good

Lol Pav. I'm tan everywhere but where a women's one piece swimsuit covers, so my legs are golden

Today's food: 2 cups of coffee with just a bit of half and half Strawberry lemonade protein drink Cottage cheese with cucumbers, tomato and onion. Seasoned with red wine vinegar and s/p/g Small grilled sirloin steak with sauteed mushrooms Key lime yogurt. Chai with milk

They're not, just unsightly.

Varicose vein. And you, my friend, are the color of skim milk, lol

Cream, they don't hurt, yet. I'd probably be looking at something called a stab phlebectomy. I haven't met with a vascular surgeon/doctor yet, but as part of my job I've worked with patient post off from procedures like this.

So today I ate the exact same things as yesterday, but I'll have an apple pie yogurt instead of key lime.

I've had varicose veins for a long time, they're just more obvious now that they have less flesh to hide in.

I have caved in and am going to have to wear compression socks on the daily. Certainly for my 12 hr shifts and I am wearing compression sleeves right now (calf cover, no ankle/foot) because my varicose veins are crazy and if I'm going to see a vascular doc about them, I need to be able to honestly claim I'm doing what I can

I had pounded the chicken pretty thin, so I only brined for 2 hours. If I am brining something like a whole turkey (which I did at Thanksgiving) or a pork butt/shoukder, I go overnight, so 8-12 hrs. Brining thinner cuts of chicken or pork, I keep it shorter, or it can conversely toughen the meat.

I brined chicken breast (pounded thin) with chipotle, garlic, and black pepper, then seasoned with a BBQ blend spice mix and grilled quickly. Super juicy. Also made a quick coleslaw with shredded cabbage and a lemon vinaigrette salad dressing I had in the fridge. Earlier today I had a large coffee for breakfast with half a…

Cottage Cheese (2%), low-fat (2%) Greek yogurt, either plain, or I like either the Too Good brand cups (black cherry, peach, lemon, mixed berry) or light n fit greek yogurt cups (more dessert like, my favorites are the apple pie and the key lime, but most of the flavors are good, of the ones I've tried I only didn't like…

I use tap to pay from my phone like 90% of the time the past few years. Been in 4 or 5 different hockey arenas, no fraud.

Chicken a la king over egg white noodles. Apple pie light and fit greek yogurt Decaf SF cinnamon brown sugar latte made with ultra-filtered 2% milk Now I am relaxing with sleepy time tea, need to try to get to sleep at reasonable hour, I have a derm appt in the morning.

No, it's just because I don't normally eat alot of fiber and consumed 18g in one sitting.

Oof, the fiber bomb I consumed yesterday (2 slices of keto bread) has now given me some good lower gut cramping. It's my own fault, but damn.

Weird food combo I just ate, that was actually freaking delicious for no reason: 1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed with 1/2 bag quest loaded taco chips

I like the Built Puff bars, brownie batter in particular. They are occasional for me. My husband eats a Barebell protein bar for lunch on the daily: salty peanut, creamy crisp, chocolate dough, peanut butter, cookies and cream, or cookies and caramel. I have tried them, the texture and taste is pretty good.

I got called out of work tonight, so instead of eating my chicken a la king over noodles like last night, I toasted a couple slices of keto 5 Seed bread and ate it like an open top sandwich. Basically fiber bombed myself (ig of fiber per slice). It was delicious, but we will see if I suffer regret later, lol

My daughter made this: Lemon shortbread crust, raspberry jam, raspberries, lemon shortbread crumble on top. Turned out amazing.
