Chris,Thyroid is once again low, but my new issue is I am diabetic.
its the carbs Chris, my A1C was creeping up to pre-diabetes, doc sent me to a nutritionist, apparently everything in my diet for the past 60 years is carbs (sugar), bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, beer. now its vegetables, strawberry, blueberry's, proteins, meat, beans, spam, eggs, zucchini noodles are actually very good. chili is good for you!
Can you put salad in the smokerHave never been a salad person, so makes things tough some times
Funny you should mention it. We went up to Wisconsin to our friends dairy farm in the fall.chicago is a tough location to watch your diet..Portillos, Malnatis, Buena Beef, Hot dog joint on every corner
here is my woe is me story. I am having a tough day. We all know life has not been so kind to me lately. Mallory is struggling. She went to the vet on Saturday. They did another culture of her wound. She has been off the antibiotic for over a week. I am hoping to hear from the vet today, if not i will call. I am hoping she can go on a different antibiotic but now my concern is the infection is a problem. It was MRSI so not good. She is eating and drinking chicken water. She is refusing regular water but loving chicken water. We did get a good pee out of her today and she is pooping. She just is super tired, and she lost all her strength and energy. Her sparkle seems gone.
I know she is old and there is only so much but ugh. I am just feeling it today. Of course I also received the call that my brother's remains are ready, and i have been busy getting that condo cleaned out.
Oh yeah and Bert is sick. We have my big fancy bday (it is late) dinner on Saturday so he will be feeling better by then.

Dieting sucks, but changing your eating habits work a lot. My weight has crept up since my injury and recovery through 2018, and now as a happily married man it crept a little more.
I tried the plant based rice replacements and they are not for me. However, stop buying processed white rice like uncle bens. Long grain rice and brown rice are lower carb/sugar and better fiber. You don't even need to cut bread, look for lower sugar and no less than 4gr a of fiber per slice.
You want to try something out, download myfitness pal or any other meal tracker and log what you eat each day. You will be surprised when you start to read the label how much you can cut some of it with just a simple change of brand or just cut back or out on one item. Just a change in bread and my brand of yogurt for my morning breakfast cut 15g of carbs!!
First lesson of the new RV, triple check the location of your new door accessories. The new steps are awesome, but it looks like we have a clearance issue with the added door bar. So we need to see if I can tweak it a little to clear the steps better before the first trip. I guess live and learn, we took all the time to check ever clearance except for that.
That's a whole buncha (I'm assuming) Stainless steel. I got a hard enough time keeping my fridge shinyFor now here is the sugar house and three of the rigs.
It ain't easy, but with all things in life, we can still eat what we like just in moderationI know tigger was up there picking on me but salads, have never been my thing. I will make it work.
