What's on your Wednesday Menu?

G'morning all!

QJB - far from me to tell you what to do but you know me, I can't keep my mouth shut. Going under 500? What are you gonna do after losing another 10 lbs? Go to 300? This is not sustainable. Going low carb as much as you can I get, but going so low cal no bueno. When you are back on a job please go to a bariatric nutritionist and assess all of this. You can't survive on 400. And look how hard it is to lose on 500, a lb a week. It reminds me of those lemon cayenne diets I used to do.

So yesterday was a doozy on several fronts. I suffer from mild POTS, I didn't know it until my son was diagnosed with it. I always thought I have low blood pressure so I get dizzy. Yesterday my son fell off his skateboard and got his foot stuck under the board. We thought his foot broke under the board, so we were trying to figure out urgent care or ER. I was upstairs when he called, in my excitement I got up fast and went to the top of stairs to yell down to my husband telling him what's going on. All of a sudden the stairs disappeared and I didn't know which way was up or down. Luna was barking her head off and I found myself two steps down the stairs flat on my rear end. My poor husband didn't know who to take care of: DS on the phone, me on the stairs, and Luna going crazy. All ended well. DS went to ER, took the X-ray and it was sprained. So he will be on crutches going to classes for a while. I had some salt and am being careful getting off the couch/bed/seats. Luna was the protector of us all and feels very proud.

QOTD: my town has a fb with a bunch of whiners. I wanna do a podcast about whiners, get over it and get on with your life. If a business goes out they whine; if you had patronized the biz they wouldn't have gone out. If a new biz comes in they whine; the town is changing, we don't want chain biz. During last winter storms a sign for a biz went out and all of a sudden there was this hullabaloo about the sign being changed and how dare they, it has been there since the '50s. If it was since 1500 I get it, and I understand this country didn't even exist back then so for most history is just 250 years old but jeez louis. The owner had to come on FB and say we are not changing the sign just fixing it. In short I can't stand whiners, I wanna be able to tell them to get over it and get a life instead of sitting on my hands and bite my tongue.

My meals yesterday:

• Coffee
• Chicken skewers w/tomatoes and cucumber
• Fage yogurt w/Lily's choc chips, Barebells bar
• Taco Tue but with cauliflower thins
• E: 1/2 hr HIIT + weights

Happy hump day!

That's so scary Sheila! I am glad you are ok (and that DS isn't hurt too bad).

I know it's only a partial help but do you drink any elctrolytes? I have noticed that since I switched to the LMNT brand to mix with my water, I am having fewer issues. before I had been doing an unsweetened coconu****er ever few days (my doctors recommendation) but this is much more effective

BIG consumer of LMNT, love the salty watermelon one.
I am usually careful when I get up from a lower position, usually count to 5, but yesterday when DS called I got too excited and totally forgot that I was laying down on the couch. So I got up, took two steps to the top of the stairs, and saw stars.

My favorite is the salty grapefruit!

Next time I order I'll try that.

Your poor mama heart. I'm glad you both are okay.

Your podcast idea!! Basically saying everything I wanted to say when I would look at Nextdoor. Also, could it tally how many times a week someone asks "was that a gunshot" (it's never a gunshot, it's always fireworks)

Those kind of questions drove me away from next door. I put up with our town's fb simply because I also find out about new restaurants and more importantly new icecream shops and bakeries opening up. But even for that the complaint is "why do we have so many icecream shops?" I wanna scream because they bring joy you soulless grinch.

I wanna scream "because they bring joy you soulless grinch" -- I love that, lol.
