What's On Your Thursday Menu, RNYers?

Good morning, AMAWers!

 

Last night was a rough night for me. I felt lousy. Maybe the end of my carb detox? I was very jittery and on edge and I wanted to bite everyone's head off. I felt sluggish and fell asleep in the chair putting the baby to bed.   But the tides have turned today. I am feeling better! Not ravenous, not seeking food at every minute...thank God! This was also the first morning that I had no gastrointestinal distress. Imodium, as opposed to Miralax has been my friend. Not today!

 

Food is much the same. I really need to cook more. I was hoping the 6-7 things I cooked on Sunday would be enough. It isn't. I ran out of food for tomorrow. Cutting out the critter takes away a lot of filler foods for me (that is a good thing, I guess!) No eggs, no cheese, no yogurt...I need more inspiration for portable meat options.

QOTD--Nelson, "After the Rain"...I thought they were "pretty" with their long platinum blonde hair ;) It was the first CD I ever bought and my friends were envious that I had a CD player while they were still using cassettes! Today my kids have no idea what a cassette or a CD is! "Wasn't everything streamed, mom?!"

Miralax--someone had a question about taking it daily. My son has been chronically constipated since birth. From three on, he has taken a capful of Miralax daily, per his pediatrician. That being said, Miralax has been known to induce insomnia. So if you can't sleep, stop the Miralax ;)

OMG, seriously?  I had no idea.  I sleep like **** already.  Goddammit!

Is it wrong that I giggled at "I sleep like ****" since you are talking about Miralax? 

HA!  The struggle is real, yo.

Metamucil . . . no insomnia and you definitely get the desired amounts . . . 

One word of advice if you decide to try it.  Get the name brand.  I bought the target brand thinking they would be the same . . . wrong.  Target is much grittier and feels like you're drinking orange flavored sand.  The actual metamucil is much finer, dissolves better and is easier to drink.  In this case I was penny wise and dollar foolish . . .

OK, so then it's flavored?  I might try this when my 7 day bottle of Miralax runs dry.

Yes.  Orange flavored.  The real Metamucil isn't as bad as the Target brand.  That stuff was nasty

I never knew that about Miralax.  I slept crappy before Miralax though. 

Morning all.  It was so nice out at 5:30 this morning when I was feeding animals. 

QOTD:  First vinyl I bought was The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Loved the movie and the music.  Let's do the time warp again.  LOL

Back in the day... Worked evenings and my co-workers and I got off at 11:30 and quite a few Saturday midnights at the local theater  "Doing the time warp again" ... LOL
