OHhhhhhh LOOK!!! Guess who snuck, sneaked? (huh spell check doesn't like snuck but loves sneaked) (sorry adhd)... sneaked back in to the 70's! ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!! Imagine me running around my couch in circles screaming now. o o o o o o <--- circles It must be the whole food plant based switch. That or that traipse through the woods. That's probably what it was. If I had known one walk would get rid of the weight...
O O O O <---- more circles around my living room

Also, I wasn't taking enough iron and stuff. Turns out my Dr had called in a prescription or 5 for a boatload o vitamins. Now I take 500 mg of vitamin C, 600 mg of calcium twice a day, 400 mg of vitamin D twice a day, and 324 mg of iron. Oh and a stool softener so the iron doesn't kill me. Wow.

Be happy everybody, and if you aren't happy, fake it til you make it!

Today was gorgeous at 55 degrees. I was walking around in short sleeves. The first sign of spring showed up today too. It said construction next 3 miles.

I really wanted to go for a walk, but I had to work. Off tomorrow though so there is hope.

Heaven help me I drank the kool-aid. I've been doing a lot of research lately on whole food plant based eating. I've decided to give it a shot. Basically what it is is if it's a whole food, and it came from a plant, eat it. If it didn't, don't eat it. The only thing I am questioning, which means I must not have drunk all my kool-aid, is they don't consider oil a whole food. I mean some, yes, but olive oil and coconut oil why not?

I'm not losing any weight currently. Obviously I need to change up something. I've been reassessing what I've been eating and I've decided there's still a lot of junk. My non dairy coffee creamer is mostly chemicals. I switched to unsweetened almond milk. My bread I eat is not whole wheat. I'm trying to cut out cheese. I say trying because the girlfriend really, really doesn't like that part, she loves cheese. Possibly more than she loves me, no maybe not. To surprise me after a 12 hour day yesterday she ordered pizza. I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Besides I'm viewing this transition as a process, not a do or die. That's usually when I fail. I have to be patient with myself or I get frustrated at me and we fight.

I found a few channels on YouTube I really love and I've been trying their recipes. I made some tofu bacon Sunday for dinner, and had a bacon, avocado, tomato sandwich. The girlfriend was eating the tofu straight from the pan. I was just cracking up. Previously she has shoved the tofu to the side on her plate. This day she was eating it straight up. I had also made mac and cheese using cauliflower. It was not great. She was kind though and said she liked it. I also made mayo from avocado which is now my new love! Don't tell my girlfriend I said that. I'm really having fun with this new way of eating. It's definitely a challenge.

Tonight at dinner my mom asked if I had enough to eat because I was vegetarian. She's cute. Let's see, I had potatoes, carrots, cabbage, green beans, slaw made with avocado mayo, and bread. Um, yeah I'd say I had enough. They only thing she had that I didn't eat was the corned beef. She also said she really liked my avocado slaw if she put meat on it. Oh gee, thanks. Yeah, my family loves my cooking. At least she tried it.

One thing I have noticed since I've cut back on cheese I've been more *ahem* regular. Today we had to have our sewer snaked out...because there were TREE ROOTS IN IT! Stop it! I know what you were thinking! Fun stuff that. Nothing like washing dishes and hearing the toilet overflow. Pretty neat!

Ok, well I just popped in to distract myself from counting parts. One teeny tiny claw cap screw, two teeny tiny claw cap screws... you get the picture.

I ate a banana. No seriously. This is the first fruit I have eaten this year. I don't know why fruit scares me, but I ate a banana today.

Sigh. I knew it was too good to be true. I had my cookie swallow test yesterday. Oh there were two bites of cookie, but the test should really be called the "swallow some plastic flavored barium, slowly for about 15 minutes test". sigh. Oddly enough the cookie was a pecan sandie. Really hospital? Don't you think maybe you should use a cookie without nuts? There were several sips of plain barium, by spoon, cup, and straw. Then applesauce flavored barium, or as I like to call it chunky barium torture, and then two bites of cookie soaked in barium, then some barium to wash it down. Mmm barium. Anyway I'm fine. It seems it's post nasal drip, and swollen sinuses. Allergy meds, eat slowly, and sitting up straight while eating.
