Good mornin y'all!
so glad this week is over too...well almost over. Ha.
Good mornin ladies.
Can't sleep much as usual.
Yesterday was a doozy. I have osteoarthritis in the SI area. I have to see a GI doctor now. My doc believes I have a bleed somewhere as my iron is pretty low and other numbers point to it I guess. I have to get monthly B12 shots. I have to get more lab work and UR analysis next week. Take a strict iron regimen. I may have something up with my kidneys, either an infection or damage.
Right now I'm freaking scared I'll lose coverage with Medicaid. I'm lucky that I still belong to the clinic I got to. If I lose Medicaid I will have a bit of backup just in case. I'll lose a lot of things but will get basic stuff. I'm just terrified. I'm on Medicaid due to being on disability. I don't know how I'll survive without either.
i'm angry and I'll be damned if I give up on any of this but there is fear too.
Today will be just a thrift store day. I may wash my bedding. I was able to order my nieces Bday gifts. She's is wanting to learn CM so there it is! I am excited but also scared...she is left handed and will likely weave different than me so it'll be interesting for both of us. I also got her a couple pairs of pliers. I always over do for these kids but oh well...it makes me happy when they feel seen!
QOTD: depends on who. I hate hate hate talking on the phone. Esp to strangers. Email I would say...not a fan of texting.
B: breakfast burrito, coffee and 5 pretzel nuggets(ugh).
L: Not sure on this one. I haven't been able to eat a lot of protein and I need to focus on it.
D: chicken with Brie and maybe some Brussels sprouts
bracelet I made 10 years ago and a meme.
Good morning, everybody!
Marilyn and my son didn't get bac****il about 11:00 last night, so it was a late night picking them up at the airport. I ended up skipping swimming this morning. I've missed some days because of travel, but this is my first skip since I started in October.
The CrossFit Open starts today. I am hoping to get home in time for the 3:30 class. The workout is 15 minutes of burpees over the dumbbell, jag dumbbell clean and press and walking lunges. It uses a 3,6,9, etc. rep scheme I am hoping to get through the round of 18.
Other than that we are going out to dinner tonight and I would like to get my car washed.
QOTD: emailing for day to day and call for larger matters
breakfast: egg sandwich
lunch: shells
dinner: Burgundy pairing dinner
Have a great day, all!

Morning gang. I'm so glad it is Friday. I have to call Ready Refresh they are who supplies us with bottled water at the plant. They never made the delivery yesterday and now rescheduled it to Monday. I have a feeling today is going to be a long day.
Nothing much for the weekend planned. Hoping to start some more black garlic and some seeds for the peppers. We are going to get a few alfalfa bales for the rabbits and goats.
QOTD: What is your preferred method of communication? I prefer to talk to people on the phone instead of texting or emailing unless it has something to do with a work issue, then I will email just to have a trail of what was said.
B: coffee and egg/bacon wrap
L: Bok choy soup
D: baked monk fish with sautéed Brussel sprouts
30 minutes on the treadmill
Have a great day everyone.

Thanks. Lol at the idea sugar being illegal. It will be so expensive that it will be transported in brown paper wrapped kilo drug packages.

So sorry you were sick Matt. I believe if sugar was discovered today it would an illegal substance. It has made me sick many times.

Thank you to everyone!
he wants me to see a GI doctor. I have to have monthly B12 shots. Repeat of some tests next week and in 8 weeks. Start a strict regimen of iron. He's waiting on ur culture to see what to do about that. She said it might be a kidney issue.
we'll see!
That's great news about your A1c. Now to get that infection taken care of. So glad both the doctor and nurse were on your side.

Good morning Jennifer and Menuers,
I am so thankful that all the Valentines, Anniversary's, and Birthday partying are officially over!!! Now I can focus on taking off a couple pounds. This month has been ladened with treats and I have tried to stay mindful about what I am eating, but I need to get back to prioritizing protein. This leads me to my to-do list today. I need to call the butcher and let them know how I want my 1/2 cow cut up today. Isn't it crazy that a dozen eggs are more than 1lb of beef.
QOTD: Food, Hence the weight loss surgery. I love to cook, eat, I love finding hidden gems in specialty markets, great restaurants. I can go on and on about food.
Accountability: I had a small cannoli, but we are close to not having any deserts worth eating lying around.
TSS: 7 years 2-months 16-days 167.8 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
MS: Banana berries chili
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-Mate Chocolate Caramel creamer
L: Crock pot pizza
D: Meatballs Braciole sausage and 1 ravioli.
Exercise: dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy
