Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Thursday 9/14/17

Good afternoon,

I was naughty today, I stopped at the ice cream shop after Sams club.

Qotd I have a Medical Assistant diploma

B ham and cheese omelette and string cheese

S ice cream cone

L tuna, cottage cheese and watermelon

D steak, green beans and watermelon if needed

Have a wonderful day

QOTD: I've got my BA and my MA in English, and I'm going for the trifecta--still working on the PhD. I have a lot of conflicted feelings about academia as an institution and a career, but zero conflict about the education I've gotten--couldn't be more invested in it or more grateful for it.

Breakfast: coffee & Fairlife

Lunch: tuna salad (same batch as yesterday)

Snack: half an apple with some goat cheese

Dinner: I'm not entirely sure yet! Probably a two-egg omelet with some ham and goat cheese and scallions.

Late-night snack: Maybe the Breyers Delights protein ice cream I didn't get to last night? Or maybe just a yogurt and a few pecans. #indecisive

Vitamins: check!

Exercise: walking

Qotd. Yeppers, I have one. My degree sucks. I went to our local community college for gunsmithing. Unfortunately they cancelled the program after my first term. I bounced around a couple of different programs and finally settled on Automotive Technology. I've never turned a wrench professionally but I've bought, repaired and sold many vehicles. I was in college for 3 years and I graduated debt free by flipping 157 vehicles during that time. I still do a little on the side. Usually 1-4 per year. I have to see at least $1000 profit in the vehicle before I will touch a vehicle these days.

Now I work in healthcare. Much better!

B: 4 slices of bacon!

L: chicken enchilada

D: no stinking clue!

Edit; I should add that I was home schooled from age 12-15. I graduated from college the same day that I would've graduated from high school.

Posting late, but better late than... never? Something. I'm still applying for jobs. 2 calls back so far, and neither is full-time, but if I can manage to get hired at two places, that is irrelevant. Weirdly, they are calls for applications I sent like two months ago, though, and not the current round. Thanks, hospitals....

My Dream Job opened up at the University of Chicago working with integrated health care. It's a long shot, but I am trying to apply there. Maybe surgery is free if I work where it's done, right? >.>;

Speaking of the revision, currently we're looking at post-January. In the latest chapter of Donna's Body Is Trying To Kill Her, we discovered my PTH was way high. This was purely because I asked for ferritin and PTH to be checked pre-op to develop a baseline of readings before woah-DS level malabsorption. At any rate, I see the endocrinologist tomorrow to suss out possible causes. Thyroid ultrasound was fine...well, sort of. My thyroid still has like seven nodules. If it's not the thyroid/damage from Hashimoto's (rare, but it happens), it's possibly Celiac (odd as I basically eat no plants more or less). It could be a few other issues which are extremely rare and unlikely. Oooooor I am just a crazy fat girl from New Jersey and my very cells are imploding due to evil Jersey Shore radiation. The world will never know?

Keeping ketones and fat high this week - I need the brain boost. Weeding out whey protein in favor of animal sources.

M1: Meat protein "shake" - 5 oz

M2: Plain greek yogurt - 5.3 oz

M3: Sliced beef 4 oz

M4: Probably Yet More Sliced Beef if hungry/missing protein.
