Send all my vibes to CC too... I think she needs them more ;)
"pain in my chest" is kinda important so I understand the doctors surprise. lol Glad to hear it was muscular for sure.
Hope you are feeling better soon Meg. I'll add you to the "sending good vibes" list I have CC on.
Good morning :)
We were up and out early this morning -- DH finally got a family doctor so he had his first appointment. Then we stopped for breakfast and groceries. The new doctor seems pretty nice and funny. At the end he asked if DH had any questions... He said yes, I've been having this pain in my chest. The doctor said, "you waited until the end to mention that?" Lol. The doctor thinks it's muscular, so that's good :)
Accountability: not been feeling great lately which has been good and bad. Good because I haven't eaten much. Bad because when I do eat it tends to be more carby than normal.

I eat in restaurants in Toronto all the time. Don't be afraid to make adjustments to the food, i.e., no potatoes just veggies or not candied pecans in the salad. Salad Dressing on the side. Just be prepared to bring food home with you. I can never finish what's on my plate.
I also look at the appetizers. Sometimes I just order from the starter or appetizer menu. Smoked salmon and a small salad or grilled calamari, shrimp ****tail etc.
Good Luck!

There are good chicken BBQ places. Ask for no sauce, and add your own hot sauce if so inclined. Also Nandos has unbreaded chicken. You can go to most places. Just choose a protein (manage any sauce), choose a non-starchy veg for your side (broccoli, peppers, asparagus etc). Steak, seafood, chicken, it's all good.
